This Is what ReNae said of the town and people: 'The town for the most part has not changed much, the weeds are a little taller this year than I had remembered them. andtheTO are a few more boards off some of the fences. The roofs of the barns and sheds sag a little more. The natives ere a little more wrinkler, a little greyer and some- are fatter; but it is still the samo friendly littlo town that I grew up in and I just love everybody."

Tills hunting deal is hard on people as well as the deer, Lorell Munson shot a big buck and it dropped like dead so Ron Schow and son Ronald ran to cut its throat, they did so and were admiring the spread when the deer jumped up taking off so Fast they could not)let go so were taking giant strides over rocks, brush, etc. They managed to let go just before the deer jumped off a ledge. Ronald suffered a wound in the arm and Ron was left with only the abbreviation of his trousers. These Schows have the slowest shooting gun we heard of; Ronald shot a big buck and it dropped like it was supposed to, but to make sure it was going to stay there he shot again, then ran to cut its throat, as he stoup-ed over the second shot hit him in the side. There is not much change as I can see in the size and ishapa of the deer, but the stories seem to get bigger each succeeding year. |
