Love to here about the laws that were inforced. I think Inman was a Sheriff. He would tell about standing on the running board of a car and shooting at bandits. I wanted some of his lawbooks. I think you also wanted some. I guess his Grandaughter<br />got all of them.

Don't think we're up to it anymore. As for hunting I used to go deer hunting with Mel just to watch. Once I had a chance to shoot one with a big rack and I couldn't pull the trigger. Isn't that called buck fever? lolPaulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007728342316668058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-41803014750886538712012-01-29T17:31:05.232-05:002012-01-29T17:31:05.232-05:00I remember when my brothers and uncle made those r...I remember when my brothers and uncle made those rabbit boxes. When they caught a rabbit the family would eat it also with biscuits and gravy.

Well, with the exception of turning a bucket upside down and putting a stick under one edge with a string tied to the stick. The plan was that we put corn under the bucket and backed off behind a bush and waited until the bird got under the bucket - then yank the string, pulling out the stick, allowing the bucket to fall on the bird. I cannot remember ever being successful in that venture. I think I had too little patience. Thanks for sharing this piicture and drawing of how to make that rabbit box trap. I think I might try it out at the cabin one day. ☺Fred Altonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12740055638280779519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-24466090432351251172012-01-29T15:53:22.700-05:002012-01-29T15:53:22.700-05:00I am back home from DS#1's now and am catching...I am back home from DS#1's now and am catching up on some posts. We did come through Ashland on our way home today. You'll have to ask those folks from Ohio if they are familiar with Grandpa's Cheesebarn. We always get on 71 headed south there when traveling to my sons, but I live up north west of Cleveland. Just had a very heavy snow coming home but didn't last long and now it's quit. Thankfully didn't have to drive in it long at all. Hope you both are enjoying your Sunday!I'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-82335059109699483392012-01-29T15:26:10.208-05:002012-01-29T15:26:10.208-05:00I like how your folks dressed and cooked your rabb...I like how your folks dressed and cooked your rabbit right away so you could enjoy the fruits of your labor. I've never fished much, but the first few fish I caught were really too little to keep. After we had to throw the first one back, I convinced Daddy to keep the next one even though it was too small. Mama cooked it with the other fish. It was easy to tell which one was mine. :-)<br />Do you reckon the gun was loaded when Grandpa sent you hunting?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-81188621862004060482012-01-29T14:31:42.760-05:002012-01-29T14:31:42.760-05:00Used to fish, and my Dad pheasant hunted, but the ...Used to fish, and my Dad pheasant hunted, but the only way I want to shoot animals these days are with my camera.Ken Richeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425810816600512504noreply@blogger.com
