City folk and country folk best at detecting IEDs

The Boston Globe reports that soldiers from rural areas (especially hunters) and ones from inner cities are best at detecting IEDs.

Military researchers have found that two groups of personnel were particularly good at spotting anomalies: those with hunting backgrounds, who traipsed the woods as youth in search of a deer or turkey; and those who grew up in urban circumstances where it is often important to know which gang controls which block.
