We never had the big eat but hunting wise that was the way it was in the Tennessee of my youth. When you left, you stopped by the house and thanked the owner and offered him/her some of the game you had shot. It was a kinder, gentler nation back then...{sigh}.Blindref757 wrote:I really miss a New Year's Tradition from my youth.
I grew up out in the Oklahoma panhandle. We started hunting doves in September and continued to hunt all types of game until the end of December. Every New Year's Day, we would have a feast of fried quail, rabbit, pheasant, and dove (complete with black-eyed peas and cabbage). I don't hunt now that I've moved to East Texas. There aren't any pheasants or quail and I don't care to pay someone to hunt on their land. Where I'm from, land owners shared their good fortune with responsible hunters. They might save the first weekend of hunting for friends and family, but after that, getting permission to walk their draw or field was not a big deal. Hunting seems so commercialized now...another rant for another thread on another day I suppose.

Re: New Years Day traditions
We really have no holiday season traditions except football (GO VOLS!) and I've watched so much football that I'm ready for Synchronized Swimming or something between now and the 11th (ROLL TIDE).
Oh, I don't have a mortgage either, thank goodness.
