Deer hunt is a success
THOMSON – The special Youth Deer Hunt at Lost Mound was Oct. 6-7, with 23 youth participating.
Three bucks and five does were harvested by eight hunters. Fourteen-year-old Caleb Poffenberger of Forreston harvested the largest deer, a 10-point buck with a field dressed weight of 180 pounds. He also harvested the largest buck in 2011.
A voluntary program to encourage youth hunters to shoot non-lead bullets was initiated this year. Lead bullets often fragment upon entering a deer.
