Hunter Success

[Palmer]

Another reason for the notion that less hunters were successfull was the extreme number of hunters this year.  I think the last several years more hunters had filled their tags earlier in the season so there were less hunters in the woods by the third weekend of November.

We also saw a couple of hunters shoot and miss.  One was driving threw the clearcut adjacent to my cousin.  He saw them shoot from their truck, look for the deer that they missed and then drive around chasing the game into the deep woods.

I was a "Patches Pal" for many years in my younger days and I can tell you without a doubt that a "hit" goes "DING" and a "miss" makes a very dull "Bonk" sound.
