Colrain, MA borders Vermont.

It's close to North Adams (hairpin turn) and a place called Satan's Kingdom.

A lot of people do like the idea of hunting their own food and eating it. I know of some people in VT and NH who do this. They're not hillbillies...it sounds to me like guys in this article were drunk or something.
Not that this has anything to do with hillbillies....but on the subject of unhinged/uncivilized behavior involving animals....how about this nutjob that attacked another dog walker and the person's dog b/c their dogs got into a scuffle?! https://whdh.com/news/man-and-his-do...esday-morning/

Satan's Kingdom is near Greenfield and the Connecticut River, not North Adams. A quote from Wikipedia about Satan's Kingdom:

"Satan's Kingdom has been noted for its unusual place name. Local stories say that it was named Satan's Kingdom after a resident of Northfield walked out of a church where a sermon about the fires of hell had just been given and saw a forest fire across the Connecticut River, and observed that Satan's Kingdom was burning."

I said it's near Colrain...and it is.

Satan's Kingdom is near Colrain and Colrain is much closer to Greenfield and Northfield than North Adams. Colrain and Satan's Kingdom are a good 50 minutes to an hour away from North Adams. North Adams is in the northwest corner of the state, Colrain and Satan's Kingdom are near the Connecticut River.

Dude...

North Adams is 31 miles west of Colrain.

Satan's Kingdom is 19 miles east of Colrain.

I never said North Adams is close to Satan's Kingdom.

My statement was completely accurate.

Your assertion that Colrain is near North Adams is simply false. They are 31 miles apart in a region without any expressways which results in an hour of driving. That is not close. Colrain is only 7 miles from Greenfield, 9 miles from Charlemont and 14 miles from Brattleboro VT. Those qualify as being close.

31 miles is close in a rural area.

You acknowledged that 19 miles is "near" yet 31 miles is "not close".
