These stereotypes are derived strictly through experience.

A few other observations:

When a hunter wants to shoot his bow right after the morning hunt......go check the morning stand location for blood.

Counting quiver arrows only works once. Expressions when asked about missing arrow are priceless.

So very true. East coast hunters and western hunters really can't hold a candle to Iowa hunters. It's true, hunting the wily farmland whitetail gives them fits, what with all the intricacies of following directions to the stand. But they have an especially difficult time when pursuing the Iowa Christmas Turkey. Try as they might, the Christmas Turkey remains a mystery to them. Shrouded in an enigma, as it were.
