Default Country or Redneck ???

Can someone please tell me the differnece between someone being country or Redneck. I just got back from Missouri. I stayed with Strut and his wife to go deer hunting. These folks seriously live miles away from any 'normal town.' They showed me the best hospitality tha tI've ever been shown. They were great folks. I met many of their friends. Sure...scruffy beards and coveralls but the same..down to earth very sweet folks. I would call these folks country folks.


NOw back in Florida. The following I would call rednecks. I was hunting in a WMA the Green Swamp yesterday. They have back roads in there which are off limits to vehicles. I got up very early to hike that back road and then dangerously went wading through a bayhead to get into my locked up Summit. Just before daylight here comes a truck on the off limit road...stops and shoots. Does he score? I don't know but he blew my cover. I soon leave. There goes a red Ford truck with the driver having his rifle out the window going about 5 MPH. Would these be rednecks ? Wouldn't those guys on Deliverance be Rednecks?

So is there a difference between Country folk and Rednecks?

I think most times redneck is meant as a put down. Most folks need a label to look down on or feel supriour to other folks. A lot of ignorant folks put down country folks and label them as backward, inbred and stupid. The "Blue Collor Tour" with Foxworthy and the other "entertainers" have done much to further the myth.
Slob hunters that shoot from trucks are just that. Low life slobs! You can label them as red necks or most anything you like but please don't call them country. The country folk I know are hard working, decent folk. Most of them shun big city life by choice. Most of us don't want to live in a concrete fortress with dozens of locks on the doors. We like knowing our neibours and being able to trust people in our small towns.
Of course this is the opinion of a small town country boy

"You can label them as red necks or most anything you like but please don't call them country."Skeeze

I wouldn't dare do that. I love country folks but I'm not to fond the others who give country living and hunting a bad name. There is a difference. I was raised country / hicky but because of my job I am in a concrete jungle of 100,000. But I'm still as country as it gets. I fish and hunt about every weekend. We have well over 100 WMAs in our state and I'm getting to know them pretty good. When I retire I will be heading back to the country. My family hates the city but we love the pay.

Chuck, I didn't mean you, just folks in general. A lot of us "country" folks get tired of the redneck jokes. You know, you might be a redneck if......
We don't date cousins no more or less than anyone else. We're not "slack jawed yokels" that make moonshine and shoot at the "revernoors" , no one I know looks or acts like those folks in Deliverance. Not that there are not some in the country and woods but it goes on in all parts of the country.

Chuck, most rednecks meet thier girlfriends at a family reunion and most country boys find them at church!

Not all Rednecks are Trailer Trash, you have many City Slickers that are Trailer Trash also.

Yes theres a big difference between country people, and rednecks!
Country folks do have class, rednecks don't!
I believe that the word for the people that you ran across, is "poachers!"

A real red neck wouldn't do this.

You can label them as red necks or most anything you like but please don't call them country.
Don't call this kind of slob a red neck.

A red neck is a person that works for a living.
An honest hard working person.

Just a little different from others.

If it came down to it I would rather have red necks and
Good ole country boys on my side any day of the week.

After all they are the back bone of this contry.

People that shoot deer from there window while hunting
are not red necks.
There poachers.

JMHO
