In my family, it would make you a "gun whacko". Not joking.

Not in our family--and I'm not joking. But remember, we're from Wisconsin, where, except for the larger cities of Milwaukee and mushy-headed Madison, it's rural or near rural. Hunting is a long tradition in our family, on both sides, going back generations. When my daughter moved to New Jersey, she couldn't figure out what was wrong with the tree huggers trying to save the deer (she once suggested at a town meeting that instead of a deer hunt, they reintroduce wolf and cougar into the area to thin the deer herd) when her area was overrun with deer.

Hunting is hugely popular here. At late season Packers games, you'd swear the Packers changed their colors from green & gold to blaze orange, if you go by the wearing apparel of the attending crowd.

Anyway, I know they'll love the hunting caps.

Yep. We are from NY, mainly. My family, basically, thinks they are cultured and I have turned into a rogue, red neck ready to leave for a unibomber cabin any day since I left the northeast.

Never mind the fact that I live in the 5th largest city myself, my husband and I are both educated professionals, we have lived outside of the country, etc.
