CANORA - At the River Ridge Fish and Game antler measuring night on Dec. 11, a total of 24 sets of antlers were submitted for measuring, down from 31 the previous year, according to Kathy Thomas, River Ridge president.
Held at the Canora Golf Course Activity Centre, the submissions included: 14 white-tailed deer, four mule deer, three elk, two moose and one bear.
“Five of the antlers measured were brought in by junior hunters, which is a great sign for the future,” said Thomas. “The antler quality was once again up noticeable from previous years.”
The antlers were measured by Floyd Hendrickson of Margo, a certified Henry Kelsey measurer, with assistance from Kate Lockert.
Results from the antler measuring will be made public at the River Ridge annual banquet and awards night on March 4 at Rainbow Hall. The gun show is scheduled for June 9 and 10 at the Sylvia Fedoruk Centre.
