which them doubled the number of tractors you needed, and left wide unplowed borders on the field. And tripled the amount of men you need to pay. Or quadruples the amount of men? What is the guy with the gun for? When I was a boy my Dad used to go out with the local farmer with his gun rabbits would hide in the grass and stubble and be flushed out when they were ploughing. This meant there was fresh game on the table in the spring time. |

I think he is just a hunter. mrfatso is correct. This is a form of "pest control". Rabbits and other animals which live in the field and steal some of the crop yield will flee when the field is plowed. The hunter is hired to get rid of those to have more harvest next time. Back then a lot of professions had a much bigger job description than today. The common hunter was not regulating the population of forest animals like today. Back then they were mostly vermin exterminators. Their main job was also to make dangerous species like bears, wolfs, etc extinct. Most parts of Europe are still free of any really dangerous creatures. The most dangerous specimen left is the tic and the second dangerous animals is the wild boar. Boars were tolerated because it was a source of high quality meat. The barber's job also included what we call "First aid" nowadays. Also the barber was responsible for disease control although the hygiene protocols were usually enforced by the federal mail officers. |

That's the problem why they are still there. The modern, warmer climate also makes them more dangerous since the area where meningitis infected tics are present is constantly expanding north. Also the percentage of meningitis tics becomes greater every year. My area used to be considered as 100% safe. Nowadays you get a 4% chance becoming bitten by an infected tic. |

You speak of the Ginger Whinger, which I can assure you, is NOT a scot. He was born in Warrington, halfway between Manchester and Liverpool, both sides equally disown him. |
