    How do I know? My Daddy taught me.

    Same with other small game such as rabbits. In the winter in months with the letter r, we used to survive in part on rabbits, cottontails killed in the desert. Hell, we even ate jack rabbit.

    The notion that working class people only hunt so that they can put trophy heads on their walls or just because they like to hear guns go bang-bang is a liberal urbanites illusion.
