Old Monroe County hunter bags bodacious 8 point deer
Hobert Weikle, 82, an almost deaf Monroe County man, shot an 8 point buck after years of hunting. He and wife Sally, married since 1926, rely on social security and small orchard income. The deer was brought in with help from their son and grandson, and they donated most of the meat. Sally notes his twin Homer recently died, deepening Hobert’s mood.
