Oh yeah, dad and I would watch those westerns and war movies too. I was pretty young when we watched them and would've really rather been out in the field but I hung in there for dad and stayed with him during the movie or tv show.
Dad had the Browning Auto 5 from Germany, really nice firearm.
My dad would get me to "create motivation" for the dogs to get in the bush when huntin', that meant me going right into the briars in order to get the rabbits moving. We would hunt the beagles all day and sometimes the ends of their tails would be blood red from huntin' so hard.
We got so good at rabbit huntin' we had to hunt many different areas since we would drastically reduce the rabbit population. It was a balance but it helped the farmers with their crops.
