The Deer Hunt!!






Jason once again dug out his insulated overalls, hunter orange beanie and vest. He hunted up in Northern Wisconsin on some property of Dr. Navertel (a doctor and Marquette). I will need to pin him down for the whole story (cuz' I forgot it). I know there is something about subzero a bucket, a lung shot, some blood, and frozen deer. Here are some after pics.
