As a teenager growing up in rural Illinois I used to love a fresh snowfall. I would grab my .410 over & under & take my Bassett hound & just go on a walk about in the woods behind our house. Maybe shoot a few squirrels for dinner. Growing up with an abusive step dad I loved the solitude of the woods. For some reason the cold never bothered me then. Also 35° in Illinois doesn't feel as cold as 35° in Az. The lower humidity has something to do with it I believe.

I grew up in rural Illinois. My Dad told me you don't hunt rabbits until after the first hard freeze.

What area did you live? I'm from just south of Springfield. Jon is from Springfield.

I grew up in a small mostly rural area near where the Ohio and Mississippi rivers meet. My family moved from there when I was about nine to Phoenix because there wasn't much work to be found. My dad's family were farmers.
