RE: regional differences in hunter attitudes
that was an accurate and funny assesment of the different regions, here in Maine it depends on what part of the state you live n. In the northern section where the economy is poor they care more about the meat. Last year i was at my friends camp and one of the camps down the road had a 280lb dressed 13 pointer, by far the biggest dear I have ever seen, I was telling a local about it, the first thing he said was,"That ain't gonna eat good." What I saw as an amazing trophy he saw as a bad eating animal.
