Made a lot of college money in my teens hunting and trapping coons. They got big in our area and had amazing pelts by November. I could get $80 a pelt in the early '80's and there was seemingly no limit of them out there. Spent my weekends fleshing and stretching furs.
From a race of hunters, artists, warriors, and tamers of horses, we degraded ourselves to what we are now: clerks, functionaries, laborers, entertainers, processors of information.
