When my grandparents had a cottage in Michigan in the late 50s through late 70's, they saw the influx of Illinois license plates. They just called them rich people.

Sorry to hear that. My wife and my parents are all gone, prior to that were tough times. God bless you and your father.

In Michigan we are a little more polite. FIPs - F#*# Illinois People. ( I'm originally from Illinois. )

My EX, post divorce, was out on her property and one of her neighbors was shooting in her direction (they're idiots). Ricochet off her forehead just above one of her eyes. It was a .22. To a woman, having a facial scar is pretty bad. Pretty sure, however, that she realizes that it was likely the best outcome (outside of NOT being shot at and hit).
Speaking of ricochets, it's possible that the kids hit the tractor and the bullet ricocheted off the tractor and hit the guy. Possible. So, it's therefore possible that they were really only shooting at the Tractor. Clearly, as the outcome tells us, this mattered little.
Hunting... I never wanted to hunt with a modern rifle. If you can't hit with one shot then stop: people are inclined to squeeze again. I would only hunt black powder: you're a lot less likely to pull the trigger hastily.

South Haven, et al, is crawling with them. I love watching them roll up at VBSP and try to be "campers". Warren Dunes SP is pretty much all Illinois plates with a sprinkling of Michigan plates occasionally.

By “Illinois” are you guys really only referring to Chicago?
There are tons of really nice folks in Southern Illinois.

No. It's probably not people from Chicago. It's people from the suburbs of Chicago.

Ok. I guess a better term is Chicagoland.
