Who else had a grandpa with stories like this? pic.twitter.com/lBbLcU9V5N
Priceless. Nothing better than a good story teller, Iām not.
I tell young people, talk to old people, they know shit.
Yeah, but where I come from you never shoot into a nest. And you don’t shoot sittin rabbits. Make ’em get up and run to make sure they’re not sick.
Do love me some pan-fried squirrel, tho, with home fries, peas, and iced tea. Only possible thing better would be squirrel AND bobwhite quail, ‘cept their seasons never overlapped.
BTW, that’s NORTHERN gray or red squirrel . . . those big ‘uns — not the scrawny little tree rats down here on the Gulf Coast.
