I've drank warm Rhinelander beer at 7AM, so I'm not picky about beer.

Well there is one amish person reading this...me. My Grandfather broke away from the church when he was 18, so I am Amish by blood. I have visited my aunts and uncles that remained in the church and they are the most giving and hard working people I have ever met. Some of the remarks I have read on this threadare bordering on racist. Every nationality in America has their bad apples. I mean give me a friggin break, some of you need some help!

Somehow i can picture a group of Amish guys sitting around the old butter churn saying pretty much the same thing about non-Amish hunters based on their experiences, especially if they live close to public hunting ground[&o]

I don't think anyone is being racist. Prejudiced maybe, being Amish is not a race, but religion or belief. Anyway, when a vast majority of your experience with a group of people indicates a common thread that is how prejudices are formed. My experience with Amish hunters has been that they have very little regard for safety (their own and others), no regard for boundary lines of property, no regard for the game they are pursuing, they only regard the laws and regulationsif enforcement personnel are present,and if you give permission to one you just gave permission to all of that person's family and friends as well. That doesn't mean all Amish behave this way, but when I see an Amish hunter I sure don't get a warm and fuzzy feeling from my past experiences.
