MKIRSCH has summed it up pretty well. We weren't poor exactly, but we sure weren't rich---not in cash, anyway. We had lots of land and we had a dairy. In addition to the truck patch, we raised hogs and chickens for the table. We had stock ponds that provided fish year-round, and frogs. Dad loved to hunt, so in the fall we had LOTS of squirrel and quail. We also ate doves, woodcocks, rabbits and whatever ducks were unlucky enough to spotted by my dad. We ate robins a few times. We even ate an armadillo once when they first started coming into north Louisiana. Not bad at all. We didn't eat deer: in the 40s and 50s there weren't any deer in north Louisiana.
I never took to hunting, other quail hunting. The fire ants and loss of habitat took care of them (haven't heard one whistle in 40 years) so that's a moot point, and like MKirsch said, I don't miss the other stuff either.
I'm often reminded of a line from Charley Pride's song about the old home place: "It's nice to think about it, maybe even visit, but I wonder could I live there anymore."
