A small town in the Upper Peninsula where it is considered acceptable to have their school mascot be called "The Mighty Nimrod." Hunting in this town is highly integrated into this isolated society. Residents here are much more skilled at hunting than the residents of the Ann Arbor suburb of Dexter.
