I have a friend in rural Wrenshall who uses purple and orange spray paint to keep the skilled nimrods from shooting his cows.

Nimrod: "One who is stealthy in the woods."

Nimrod, small blip on the map north of Staples/ Wadena, the only restaurant in town used to have Finnish music on the juke box. The town bar had bullet holes in the wall where Hank unloaded his 6 shooter after having his wife threatened by a local yokel. Fond memories of the characters I got to know when I lived there.

That's my take on Nimrod, and yes, I always thought it was named after the hunter of biblical renown.

@hbh1, Not to worry a nimrod by definition would not shoot you. You got to look out for the non-nimrods -- they are the ones who shoot cows painted purple cause they thought it was a deer.
