RE: MN. hunting question
I have exclusively hunted Minnesota. I think it's unfair to stereotype all Minnesotans like myself as this way. I can relate as there are fellow Minnesotans that do the same up where I rifle hunt. It's irritating, I know. But I have a hard time believing that there are not hunters from all states the same way. It may be that particular group that is just a bunch of slobs. That sucks.
We do have deer over here a estimated 1.3 million this year if I remember correctly. So to answer your question, we are not all slobs. I do feel your pain!
