Interesting thread. A lot of anger out there directed towards hunters. That's too bad. Not to discount your personal experiences with bullets flying around you, tresspassers, idiots and the lawless I gotta wonder if it has something to do with perspective. I wonder which one of us is actually living in a Rockwellesque world. Living in the inner city as I do I see something of lawlessness every day. Minneapolis is a small town compared to many other cities (pop 380K) but on any given day there are probably a couple of rapes, 50 burglaries, a shooting or two, a couple of murders a week, plus hundreds and hundreds of vicious confrontations, beatings, stabbings, robberies, drug deals and other anti social behavior between the feral people who live here. Compare that to the 400K firearms hunters who hit the woods in Minnesota each year. Compare the tresspassing, your danger of being shot, the amount of criminal behavior and lawlessness of those hunters to the city folk. Makes me think my idyllic picture of most hunters is fairly accurate. We usually kill one, sometimes two hunters a year here. I can't say how many tresspassers and poachers there are every year. But for 400,000 people running around with loaded guns I think comparatively we do pretty well as a group of responsible, law abiding, property respecting citizens. Combined with my earlier post we in no way should be lumped together as a bunch of idiots. And fortunately for you people who don't like us we're only out there a few weekends a year. The thugs and the muggers and the killers and the pimps and the boogeymen run around 24/7/365 here. Again, it's all about perspective. Yours is right of course. So is mine. But I wonder who's perspective is more accurate in this modern day America.

Today's Featured Article - A Cautionary Tale - by Ian Minshull. In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm. The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
