158 Are You Rich Enough or Poor Enough to Hunt in the Early 19th Century?

So far America is pretty hostile to everyday hunting - but for some reason we keep adding categories.And lets face it, for a country that keeps talking about how we don't need roaylty, we do seem to keep mimicking aritocrats.the early 19th century loves some fox hunting - so much so that we imported foxes (even though there are plenty already here).  Hunting keeps happening everyday - but we like to say it's not cool.Unless you are doing it for leisure... or to earn money.Yes - the early 19th century brings the birth of the Market Hunter - which needed the railroad to create itself.The Buffalo may cease to roam - and the Passenger Pigeon darken the skies by the end of the century - but the seeds of their destruction are planted here... at the start of the 19th cenutry.But worry not, it's not all bad news - you can still get a giant game pie.Music Credit: Fingerlympics by Doctor TurtleShow Notes: https://thehistoryofamericanfood.blogspot.com/Email: TheHistoryofAmericanFood at gmail dot comThreads: @THoAFoodInstagram: @THoAFood& some other socials... @THoAFood
