    Hint #? My target hasn't updated his wants since the targets went out.

    I saw your post, but thought he was shipping to you. I need to re-read this whole thread again, Wife off in Brazil doing a speaking tour, and myself stuck at home tending the shop the past two weeks alone hasn't kept my detective skills on high alert.

    Hint#6 (going to get more specific since my shipping is closing in) The avg person in my Targets State drank over 36 gallons of beer in 2012, 5th highest in the nation. Google is your friend.

    I have you narrowed down to 4 targets, including myself, though the bear population clue makes that unlikely (NC has a larger bear population than PA, but not by much).

    What I learned. You are not my sender and my state is slacking.

    Wow. My state is fourth lowest?

    Too many damn wine-o's and hooty-tooty martini sippers. LOL

    So PA is in the bottom third, which I find kinda surprising with the proliferation of beer in Philly, and the amount of blue collar throughout the rest of the state, I honestly thought it'd be higher.

    I also did this calculation real quick: exactly one 12oz beer, every single day of the year, is a little over 34gal. I've been working on a year-long-streak of at least one beer per day, though god knows most days saw more than the minimum.

    I have no clue who my sender is - the boards being down and life being busy have made this a bit crazy!

    I am getting a box of west coast hops this week. If my target likes this (and as a hop head I hope he does!) I will toss some in with his 'locals' and send on Monday.

    I have a couple of buddies that go every year. Wasn't in the cards for me this year but am definitely going to try in the future.

    I reset my sender list when @seanhand_alt did the hopslam comment and @devilfluff called himself the winner. I missed the next comment about being on the shore. Which devil is still pretty close too.

    I have been slacking off with the hints, here are a two new ones. It should help my target.

    Hint: I ship south
    Hint: One of the characters from the Big Bang Theory hails from this state and is quite proud of it.

    Apologizing in advance if anyone else already answered, but I've got you with 3 targets -- you narrowed it down pretty quickly, if I recall correctly...

    @edhizdeid has eliminated all but one state from his possible targets (though I already had his target as being from that state, but now I'm really quite certain).

    Hint #6: My target is not in the same time zone as @edhizdeid's target

    Damn... oh well, at least it's not just the 1. Can you BM me which 3? I'd like to be more pointed in my hints to narrow out the other 2.
