used to do about the same thing we would shoot coons and bring them to a older man and he would buy us a box of shotgun shells for each one. shells back them cost about 1.50 at western auto and we though we were getting the best end of the deal but we later found out he was selling them for about 4 bucks apeicebut we were young and it was fun. we used to go to williston and get gophers on the west end of town it was fun.
