We hunt coons with dogs here in Indiana. We can hunt all year long except a couple of weeks before and a couple of weeks after kill season which is in now. It's fun to train the dogs.
It's competion for your hunting buddies to see who has the best dog, and good excercise. Summer hunting is just treeing, no killing, but during kill season we sell the hides. They aren't worth much, but most farmers appreciate everyone you kill on their farm.
Mostly, it's just for fun and leave the rifle at home, but once in awhile you have to shoot one out to make the dogs happy........Great excercise....... more.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
