Most Redneck thing you've done

I was probably about 14, so this would be in the mid-60's. An elderly friend of my dad didn't use a pitchfork. he used a 220 Swift. Didn't have to shoot the fish, just come close and the concussion would send them floating up and then he netted them.

Back in the mid 70's my brother shot at a mink on the river what was running on the ice. He shot right below it and must of blew it in the air 15 ft. He went and got it. And it didn't have a hole in it. The concussion killed it. I have killed many Mink after that doing the same tactic.

There was an article (OL) in the '80's of a New England state where it was tradition/legal to shoot pike in marshes with deer rifles. Wish I could remember the state and issue.

FWIW/Fun fact: Jim Carmichel replaced Jack O'Conner in July 1979. He was also a great exaggerator with prose skills of London and Hemmingway.

That is all.
