Two Wisconsin deer hunters were killed and several wounded on day three of a five day season as snowy roads and heavy backcountry hindered access. Robert Alton of Waukesha was mistaken for a bear and fatally shot near Solon Springs. Thomas Michalski of Merrill died when a loaded rifle discharged from its case. Others injured include William Habig of North Prairie, Herbert Chaney of Milwaukee who died of a heart attack while hunting, Duane McCall of editor’s keep near Crivitz, and Herbert Long of Madison.
