Al Hamel not only has a pet doe
but also a friendly young buck deer
that hangs around his place north Of
the city. Fearful that some hunter
might shoot the handsome young
buck, Hamel hit upon a scheme that,
he hoped, would disclose to all hunt
ers that the deer is a pet. He tied a
red cloth around the bucks neck and
then while he kept it quiet, Mrs.
Hamel painted its antlers a bright
yellow. Hunters may be astounded
to see a deer with bright yellow ant
lers wandering in the forest.
