Poor Weather Persists Through Hunting Season
The deer season ends with many hunters reporting meager take due to weather while others stock up meat. J A Sanderson of Royal Oak bags a 100+ pound timber wolf near Munising, larger than historic Michigan wolves. Local hunters Harold Mallory and F L Bergey notch sizable bucks as the Hampton camp reviews its season. A theft of a six point buck on private Clare property taints the town’s reputation and police expect arrests. The Harold Fleming shop contest updates leaders in trophy measurements and near 100 pound targets.
