Lots of farm guns were just tools. I was working one summer driving tractors for a big feed lot
operation in N. Fla. Ran across a bunch of cows all head in on something. Drove my tractor over and
saw a racoon staggering and falling, foaming at the mouth. YIKES! The cows were stupidly only
a few feet away, curious.
I drove to the house and asked if they had a .22, explained why, was handed a basic bolt gun, no
memory of what, it was just a tool. Shot the coon, got it into a gunny sack without touching it,
and had the dozer operator push me up a small hole and I tossed it in, and he covered it.
Tools. Not like we normally think of guns. Not much different than a tractor or shovel or hammer,to
a lot of folks. No need for fancy, no need for expensive.
