Local big game hunter takes down impressive trophy
On December 4 River Ridge Fish and Game held its annual antler measuring with COVID protocols in place. A total of 29 heads were measured, including three moose, two elk, three mule deer and 21 white-tailed deer. In the photo, measuring antlers on either side of the table were Floyd Hendrickson (an accredited Henry Kelsey, and Boone and Crocket measurer) and Kate Lockert, with Floyd’s wife Dianne Hendrickson seated. Not in the photo, Damon Paley tabulated the scores, while Ernie Gazdewich and Doug Lapitsky also provided assistance.
At the River Ridge Fish and Game antler measuring, 15 out of 29 heads measured were entered by juniors. President Kathy Thomas said youth entries have been increasing consistently in recent years, which bodes well for the future. From left, were: Makayla Heshka, Cooper Kraynick and Gage Keller, all with respectable deer, said Thomas.
