Alabama Moonshine

Post by TDick »

Just got this article in a historical newsletter.
One news story from the NINETEEN twenties:
"Moonshiners in Cherokee county have set more than 30 bear traps in an effort to catch prohibition agents."
"Agents have reported narrow escapes from the traps."

Bear traps & hog thieves. Thats awesome!


There for a while I could get my animals to follow me just about anywhere if I had a bucket in my hand. They preferred mashed grain to their normal feed.
