Yee Haw!

Outdoor Life magazine just named my hometown (or at least the town nearest the hamlet where I grew up) of Lewiston, Idaho the #2 best city for hunting and fishing. (You can read about it here.) Not that I do either. In fact if it were up to me to have to kill things to eat, we would most likely be vegetarians.

Anyway, this comes as no surprise to me. Growing up, lots of the guys in high school had gun racks and gun mounted on their trucks that they drove to school, you're hard pressed not to see the hides of various animals drying on peoples houses, sheds, etc., and dogs trolling the streets with an elk hoof clenched in their jaws. Yes, it was quite the metropolitan upbringing there in Idaho. And to top it off, we got to miss several days of school every year during the county fair to show our animals! (And yet we NEVER got to miss school for the symphony, opera, or the Gaugin exhibit... namely because you'd have had to drive to Seattle to got to any of those things, and if you were going to drive THAT far, you'd be more likely headed to the Blue Mountains in Oregon to go hunting or to Montana for the Belt Sander Racing Grand Prix.)
