Is there any small game hunters left? I stopped at the nursing home to check on Dad. He's there because of dementia, and Mom couldn't take care of him anymore. Dad is at the stage where his short term memory is about 10-15 minutes long. His long term memory is pretty much gone too. But he does like to talk about hunting. Yesterday we talked about squirrel and rabbit hunting. ( over and over) When Dad was growing up they supplemented their winter larder with small game. That habit was past on while I was growing up too. I ate a lot of small game while growing up and miss it. My wife lived the same way, and doesn't want anything to do with it now. It was a big thing every fall when the hunting season started. Most of my class mates also hunted small game and we would tell hunting stories every chance we got. Now there isn't hardly small game hunters around. I should start going again. I bet the woods are crawling with squirrels now that the pressure is off.
