My father used to spend his summers on his grandfather's farm (which he farmed with a team of horses up until the 1980s) and has wonderful memories of spending all his time out in the fields and woods with his shotgun, picking off groundhogs and rabbits, watching birds, and generally getting to know every inch of the place.
