Deerstalkers Diner

As if they hadn't seen enough deer during the year, deerstalkers and wives found venison the main course when the Nelson Deerstalkers' Association held its annual dinner last month. Main function of the evening was the enjoyment of each others' company, but time was taken off to make a presentation for services rendered and awards to those who distinguished themselves in the field.
