Brad Bush: An Interview with my Grandfather
Sixty years ago Brad Bush went hunting with his brother in the town of Brookline. They got two squirrels and three birds.
-
- "The first time I went hunting was with my brother"
-
- He was eight years old. They were going out to hunt grey squirrels and partridges.
-
- "My brother was four years older than me."
-
- They always liked to be in the woods, even to see the chipees going up the walls. When they got squirrels and partridges they put them in a meat pie. It was very good...
-
- Brad has hunted for 60 years. He was 10 years old when he got his first deer. It was very good back then. It was very different than it is now. When he was a boy he did not cover a lot of ground. That is the way he always hunted...
-
- "Hunting is a wonderful sport. But it can be ruined when people do not follow the laws and that's why you should obey the laws. Do what the law says and be a good hunter. If you don't you will ruin it for all hunters. Don't shoot at anything unless you know what it is."
