MA_...I think some responses got a little side tracked to your original question. I agree completely. Some folks take the luxury of stereotyping everyone from Massachusetts. Unfortunately, some of those included are from Massachusetts. I Have friends that are dedicated to deer hunting in their own state (MA) and these hunters I would put against anyone in their deer knowledge, love of hunting and more importantly, their respect of the game they hunt. I'm with you on this one.....Jimmy S
