A crazy relic of a bygone era (or not!), this movie celebrates clubs (yes clubs) that blast the little varmints away. Not a lot of actual hunting is shown, just the results and proud men showing off their pelts and their dogs who got em. The clubs have cute names (The Cooners!) and even have (had?) their own festival the Kenton Nationals! They had dog contests! Pretty amazing. This festival actually had a long life, ending it's annual celebration in 2002.
