As a kid growing up in the 70s I can remember dad always carried a 22 to get rabbits and pheasants. Mostly carried it in the fall combining corn. He would section the field off and get them all coralled in the last few row. He'd only shoot a few for dinner. Mind you there were 7 of us little ones to feed.
Don't believe farmers made much money back then either. I know we were poor but at the time didn't know it. When i got back to minnesota to look around i know we were poor. But never went hungry!!!! Alot of fillers in the meals back then. I think we had goolosh at least once a week. God i hate goolash!!
The image of blasting off a tractor and slaughtering them all across the field is ridiculous. We kill food back then and i still do today. Everyone of us do just some of us hire it done for us. I butcher a cow everyother year and a couple of pigs and a few chickens everyyear. so does everybody else in this country, like i said some of us just hire it done , packaged neat at Walmart, then we don't have to think about it.
By the way I say grace at the table one for God and i also thank the animal for it's life so i may live.
Like i said at the top I had a wonderful life as a kid on the farm. Wouldn't trade it for all the money in the world.
