It was a most unusual memorial service. No one knows whether Jesse Yanske is alive or dead. He disappeared and has not been found.
When it comes to the weather, I come from a long line of seasonal pessimists who expect the worst and prepare for it. Even in the height of summer my great-grandfather would comment that the days were growing shorter and “Before you know it, winter will be here.” I’m not that pessimistic but…
The 2026 gun-deer season marks 175 years of structured seasons. There were originally four closed seasons. There are now eight seasons in place to provide hunters with many opportunities to pursue deer and enjoy the woods.
