He notes antlerless seasons began after 1920 and recalls deer herds of 20 or more daily. Hazen totals near 50 bucks, uses a 300 Remington with 37 notches, and plans to hunt again near Wakefield. He remembers virgin timber, longer packing, meat canning, and a red elm supply chest built by Charles Shoup. He remains an avid hunter and fisherman with plans for next year.
