In Australia they banned fireworks a while back as so many children lost limbs or hurt.
Best thing they ever did. At least it is not so rowdy these days and kinder to the animals.

Kids are far too overprotected a lot of the time. My parents gave us pretty much a free rein. We would all eat together but after that we were allowed to go all over the neighborhood...mom would say 'just be home before dark and before supper'. We did pretty much what we wanted to do.
Also started hunting rabbits and squirrels before I turned 10. Learned to dress the game I shot as well.

I didn't have a gun then but I had a damned good throwing arm....Rocks worked very well. ETA: btw/ NOW, that just seems so cruel! I was a little hooligan. Of course we did eat the meat,..it wasn't all just for fun,.. & with 6 hungry kids, it helped.

It was east of OKC but there were few houses in the area and we knew everyone. Had relatives that owned farms nearby and we had a cabin on a lake SW of Guthrie where I did a lot of hunting fishing.
I mentioned that we pretty much had a free rein, but we also obeyed what our parents said to a 'T'.

If we didn't we got our asses busted & there was no Social Services or police getting involved either!

You got that right. As for rabbits in the snow, fun hunting with a gun too, they would not get up until you almost stepped on them and then they would scare the hell out of you. LOL.
