Many of these states are some of the best trophy whitetail hunting in the country (not saying there are not good deer in other areas) and have a pretty high number of hunters per sq. mile average so sales would generate pretty quickly. Especially when you figure that most of these states have been shotgun slug only states up until the last 10-15 years or so. For these guys switching over to any kind of rifle was like opening up pandora's box (in relation to hunting things other than paper or varmints). And factor in the human desire to go out in the woods with something "better" than your buddy has that many people are afflicted with and you get a pretty concentrated potential buying market. Y'all in the rest of the world have been able to attend that party for decades and we just finally got the invite, even if we have to go with a straightwall chaperone. LOL
