It boggles the mind......The Detroit Free Press letting dead animals and stories of the kill to be published......Yikes!!!!!!

Could this be the start of something Good?

I doubt it but I can hope!

:D

it was really to great to see so many young women out there hunting

I don't trust the Freep...or any newspaper for that matter. All those people probably now have their faces posted on PETA's hate board. :shock: :evil:

[Jim Simmons]

Maybe, Gary . . . but if so, that's PETA's problem.

I'm glad they sent in their pics and stories, and I give the Freep credit for printing it.

thats awesome glad to see the freep is doing what the papers up north have been doing all along

now we just need to get opening day of any deer season an michigan holiday so we all can enjoy

Real glad for them folks. just a few feep goofs such as.

On the first day of archery season he shot a small buck. On Oct. 11 he arrowed this fine 8-point on his grandmother's family farm near Mulliken, Mich. using a 12-gauge shotgun with slugs.

Complete with pic of the kid with a bow laying on the deer.

Nice shootin though

Oh, and does Smith and Wesson make rifles?

Glad to see a lot of first time hunter's with Deer.
Hopefully the printed description is only a typo and not the real mccoy as written.
============================
S&W did have long guns in the mid 70's.

Looking at the hunting regs Sandusky is in the Shotgun Zone (Thumb).
I know in some of the fields you can shoot a 1,000 yards - it would be nice if we could use a rifle - There are lots of Bucks and they stay just out of range.

==============================================
Kill made near Sandusky, Mich., at 9:30 a.m. on Opening Day with a Smith-Weston Rifle.

Deer approximately 120 pounds.

I took note of that too. I live up that way.
A lot of the deer seem small in those pics. couple of monsters though
