Glimpses of the Past

November 22, 1888

            The time for shooting deer expired Nov. 10.

​

November 5, 1896

            George Quackenbush and C.E. Scott returned from the woods Monday, each having a fawn as a result of their deer-hunting expedition.

​

November 8, 1897

            Thomas and James Wright and Will and Ira Thompson returned from their deer hunt Monday. They killed three fine deer. Thomas has the thanks of ye editor for a fine piece of venison.

​

November 18, 1897

            Messrs. C.E. and G.M. Scott and Orris and Orvil Stevens returned home last week from their deer hunt. They had good luck, having killed eight while up north. The Times-Banner force received rich venison cuts from George and Orris.

November 3, 1898

            The return of the deer hunters from the northern woods will doubtless prove a sad blow to the local meat dealers, as a large number of the families in the village expect to enjoy venison for quite a time, owing to the hunting ability and well-known generosity of those who went in search of the festive deer.

​

November 10, 1898

            The deer hunters are returning from the woods. They do not appear to have been as successful in rounding up venison this year as last season.

​

November 2, 1899

            Whitehall and vicinity hunters, too numerous to mention, hied themselves to the deer district up north the past week. Our boys are expert shots, and we expect to record some good successes at their hands on their return from the woods.
