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 - Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
