I just deleted a bunch of posts here. Please, lets not turn this into a heated political conversation. Remember, there are "nice" ways to say stuff without offending. Please use them. And I know most all you do. So no worries.

Oh, I use minners when minners is what they are hitting, plain and simple. But yes, if they will hit an artificial, then no need to torture the messy little critters. lol
Having said that, and I've traveled a lot across this country, I have definitely seen where it was like night and day! No minners meant you did not get a single bite!
