I struggled with posting the following. I feel most people will not understand but here goes.
my father in law would put up 15 to 20 deer a year, that seems like a lot. However he had 14 children and raised a few nephews and a couple brothers. He was a oldtime farmer and would not ask for help. He didn't tramp around the south pacific in the fourties to come back here and ask for food stamps. it was the middle seventies before he put in indoor plumbing. he had no debt and payed as he went along. every fall he would go to every neighbour and make sure they had their winters wood put up and if they didn't he would start cutting. here's a guy that would be considered unethical by modern standards yet he made sure everybody had wood and meat if needed. I find it strange how times have changed.
