Is it just coincidence or is there a reason that so many top barrel makers are located in Wisconsin? Obermeyer, Bartlein, Rock creek and Kreiger. I'm just curious.

Hahaha and delicious. I take it you've been to the land of cheese and beer.
If you like cheese you MUST try cheese curds! Wonderful little bastards. As for the barrels no clue but having spent a year in the Appleton area I can say that the work ethic in that part of the country was fantastic. I am happy to say my barrel is from Wisconsin................ My Russell bird hunting boots are as well. Hmmm, I see a trend.
