So I am to understand from those who have been to a deer camp
and that was what was in the pot for dinner. Lots of them
are hunted and eaten around here.

When I was a kid a guy bought a couple of black and tans to hunt coon.

Was told he spent something like $5-600 for the pair.

(!950's money)

First time out, they rounded up a rabbit.

Guy shot them on the spot.

Someone smarter might have shown up at the seller's door with rifle in
hand to return the dogs for the $2,000 he spent on 'em.
