Must have been the rumour going round town that you were "game" :-)

>When I was 15 and living at Camp Tahosa, CO, I was shot at by two hunters from Texas while standing in my front yard! When out with my family deer hunting in Wisconsin, my uncle was shot in the behind by a hunter from Chicago. While definitely idiots, I wouldn't call them 'beer-swilling good-ole-boys up for a weekend's killin' types...

>>>Surprisingly, my entire life I have been around hunters in Colorado, Wisconsin, Wyoming, and North Carolina and I never met a beer-swilling good-ole-boys up for a weekend's killin' 'n' bondin' person yet...

>>That's because you haven't hung around Canadian woodlands. Maybe the better class of hunter stays home in the U.S. while the guys who shoot at anything that moves come up here.
