Old Man Weather dampened two days of the deer hunting week and threatens a cloudy cold final day. About 650 hunters checked into the state forest this morning with many quitting by noon due to wet grounds. Dirt roads grew slippery forcing slow cautious travel as rain kept hunters soaked. Only two buck deer were reported killed Thursday, John Tielen of Dressler with a 204 pound buck and Lloyd Davis of Perrysburg with a 114 pound buck.
