Many Saline hunters have returned'this week with their deer and
stories of their trip to the north
woods. Among those having good
luck were Art. Moehn and Gary
Armbruster, who with, Gary's father Alwin, was. bunting in the Van-
Bervelt area. Both deer carried a
rack of six points, Art's weighed
125 pounds, while Gary's weighed
in at 145.

his was the first one reported, while
hunting in the Waterloo area fie
sighted and shot the 8 point, 123
pound buck one half hour after entering the woods.
While hunting at Curtis, across
the straits, Donald Gall, found an
8 point, 145 pound buck deer in the
sights of his rifle, and brought it
Sbveh, Those hunting with Don, and
having no luck at all were Curley

time boys.
Elmer Lange, of 318 N. Ann Arbor'-St., brought home a young
SisiJte horn weighing about 90
pounds when dressed out. He was
hunting with Tony Shield and Alex
Shield; Elmer was the only one
having any luck.'
. The largest deer reported so far
to this office is the one shot by Verl

m..his family's annual vacation,

have to try again if he wants tb use
his permit this year.
ta, Michigan woods, but only Art
got his buck, the weight unknown,
but it did have a rack of five points.
The most exciting story we heard
this week was the one told by Donald Feldcamp, who reported being
attacked by a wounded deer. It
seems that Donald and Wayne
Rang, Ann Arbor, were hunting together when Rang sighted ahd shot
a seven point buck in the front leg.
The wounded animal took Off in the
direction of a swamp, and Donald
running to head it off slipped and
fell the anguished buck turned
and came for the fallen man. Don
not having time.to use his gun, pulled his hunting knife and while
wrestling with the phin crazed deer
managed to cut it's throat, even
with it's throat cut it tried to get
away, and Rang shot it thru the
head to bring to an end the life it
tried so desperately to keep.
