Thanks for sharing this !!
I was on one of those hunts back in the day, north/central Indiana, semi-trailers etc, except it was for fox.
There were only a few of us with shotguns, all the rest had clubs.
A very unique experience, plus a lot of walking, it was most of a day.
Since I carried a gun, I was an outsider and had no interaction with the locals. (no fun)
Also, gunners were not allowed to close in on the circle, where they clubbed them.
And yes a couple with clubs got some, the shotgunners were skunked!
Guess the fox liked their chances against clubs vs guns..
