THREE deer BAGCED
BY LOCAL SPORTSMEN
IN WISCONSIN .WILDS

Guy Means, John Clements and VIII
Gaar, Richmond men, invaded the
wilds of northern Wisconsin recently
and bagged a deer apiece. The three
hunters were fully % miles from a
settlement, as far out in the wilds as
they could possibly be.
The deer were shipped to this city
and are being kept In a local ice house.
The heads have been sent to taxi
| dermist in Ohio for mounting and will,
no doubt, be put on display in a prom
inent place for the benefit of the pub
| lie.
| The men camped Is miles from Gid
den, Wis. and remained in the wilds
for one week They stated that the
country in the section which they
hunted could not have been more wild.
Guy Means shot his deer at dis
lance of 300 yards. 1t took but one
shot with a 80 Springfield rifle. The
deer weighed approximately 15O
pounds.
John Clements had more trouble
with the deer which he killed. The
deer was running toward him, failing
to observe the hunter. Clements shot
one of its horns off with his first shot,
stunning it. His second shot brought
down the deer.
The deer shot by VIII Gaar was zoo
yards distant. Mr.. Gaar bagged his
game with the first shot.
On account of the game law OF the
state, the men were allowed to shoot
! but one deer apiece during their hunt
, According to Guy Means, deer are
more plentiful in the section where
they hunted than ever before.
