I guess I was a pot hunter all those years ago. I would go out specifically for some type of game and usually got home with more than what i went after.. Except..when quail hunting I shot quail..no rabbits or skwerls or whatever..but that was because the bird dogs learned too many bad lessons if you shot a rabbit or whatever. Only other thing i shot when quail hunting was maybe a woodcock or snipe. I didn't shoot coons or possums to eat but did sell the hides. Gave the meat to one of my ol black teachers of the arcane hunting/fishing lessons. cept ever now and tthen I'd take something like that to work.. Them city fellers were usually a little put off by groundhog or possum. Didn't really care for coon anyway. But a nice young groundhog or possum?? Not bad. I remember one day..went duck huntiong down the stream..when I got home had ducks rabbits a woodcock a snipe couple of rail birds 3 doves and one goose that I banged flying into a cornfield I was walkin across...but that was a rare day. Skwerls were closed...and I always got checked by the game wardens. I got checked by the game warden every day during skwerl season..Limit was 6 and i usually had a limit fore I went to school. Warden just didn't know how I did it every day(a story for another day). Season only lasted from Oct 5th to the 31st...but some places were overrun with skwerls. Rabbits not so much cause every body hunted them
