Hunting and fishing were as natural to me as breathing. They were part of my culture; they were, and are, part of who I am.
And the beat
goes on...
This past Saturday and Sunday were big days for the Brady clan. We celebrated the legacy of Moffett and Alice Brady with a family reunion. We had folks from Florida and North Carolina and Arizona and Maryland and other places. During much of preparation and set up for this event, one fellow, who will go unnamed (but it was not the writer), had to excuse himself on Saturday morning. Sorry, but it WAS the first day of squirrel season. And the beat goes on.
At this point, I invite your attention to an article in Marion Maggiolo’s publication, “In & Around Horse Country.” The article was written by Rupert Isaacson, and is entitled, “Bushmen Hunting in America.” It deals with the Kalahari Bushmen of Botswana, in southern Africa, and how they have been kicked off their native land by the government to make way for diamond mines.
These hunters and gatherers have found a real ally in the fox hunting community here in the States.
Seems a little strange at first blush, but when you think about it, it makes perfect sense. As the author so succinctly puts it, hunting is a cultural value, and the loss of that culture strikes those immediately impacted at their very core.
