I was as squished as a sardine in the tree stand with my dad. It was about 5:00 P.M. on the last day of my first youth hunt. It was a fairly cold evening‚ and I was starting to lose hope.

"The McCarthy Era of the 1950’s and the Salem Witch Trials of the 1600’s were major events in American history that destroyed the lives and careers of many innocent victims.
