    WOW would this create a riot today! There are major protest going on now about live bird shoots. Not many know that Audubon created the clay pigeon or trap/Skeet shoot used today to stop give clubs an alternative to live bird shooting.

    Hemp was a cash crop grown all over the midwest during WWI and WWI supported by the government for the production of Hemp fiber for rope making. I remember 60 minutes doing a show on a town that still had hemp growing so wild that it was everywhere this town was paid to produce hemp during the war, They blurred out anything that you could use to ID the town in the film this was in the 80s! every street sign ,Business sign, license plate or address was blurred. the hemp plants overran the town by means of self seeding during the years it was field crops.

    I've seen pics of how Mr. Audobon used to collect birds to study. It included a shotgun, and a BIG pile of feathers.
