Back in the 20’s and early 30’s my grandpa and his trusty horse set off every spring and summer morning to collect as many groundhogs as they could. The 1 penny per tail bounty that the farmers paid him was good money for a 8 year old boy. He said that a box of .22 shells were a nickel and a pack of smokes were a nickel (he was 8yrs old 😬) so he stood to make .40 cents per each box of 50 rounds, assuming he didn’t miss. 😁
The good old days......
I remember the good old days also, but not that old . 22 LR shells were 25 cents a box , longs were 20. and shorts were 15 cents a box... I killed a lot of squirrels with shorts. yes money was hard to come by.. I worked in the hayfields for 25 cents a day. and dident want to spend a whole days wages on a box of shells, when shorts would do. HA HA
I had to walk 7 1/2 miles to town to buy ammo back then.. no auto or trucks on our farm.
