Show weapon. That's -what Nobe did, when he hit a buck with his .new pick-up. I failed to learn whether the pick-up was a Ford or Dodge. Deer Hunting De Luxe Cliff Anderson, trie Cessna pilot who has been commuting to the field just across from the Hunsak-er Hunsak-er Motor Co., solved for himself the toughest problem of deer hunters: hunt-ers: that of getting to the tops of the mountains and down again with a mininmum of effort. Cliif and his son, Jerry, landed atop one of the Wasatch peaks, at 10,500 ft. They shot a good size buck, loaded it in their plane, and took off.
