You must have soon lost all your 'Indian' friends

I went from shooting Indians to trap/skeet shooting and rabbit hunting. Funny thing with a 303 and shooting rabbits.....If you get them in the head you get meat. Anywhere else and you've wasted a bullet.

Yeah, same with squirrels...there was a guy on tv last week who has a squirrel pie recipe and he was facing the same problem

I let the cats have the squirrels and chipmunks. They gotta get exercise, too.

I chose not to be a racist kid. We played Army with sticks and dirt clod grenades. If you couldn't prove that you shot one of the enemy soldiers with your stick, the grenades removed all doubt.

Squirrels can't make pies because they're nuts.

We did the Army thing in winter with snowballs.

I didn't view it as racist back then. Army with snow balls and snow forts was a lot of fun.

He's pulling your chain

We played the same games...

Although I was jealous of my friends who had GI-Joes... We were poorer than them !!

When we played cowboys and indians we made our 'guns' out of tree branches. The snowball fights were a lot more fun.
