Something that is also a big factor is "opportunity ". City mice have none and anymore only a few country mice do these days if seems. So many intangibles...

Marks 21: Fully understand the "Pennsylvania hunting ethic" and reading about the "Pennsylvania Grame News" here was a treat ( I always read them at my grandads).

Maybe "hardscrabble" isn't exactly critical but a regional culture might be. Perhaps culture..and then opportunity?
