“I looked down and there it was, 30 feet away,” Kimberly Crommett said outside Tobey’s Grocery, where the tagging station scale pegged her gutted deer at 160 pounds. In Albion, Dow’s General Store had been busy since opening at 8 a.m. Berry’s General Store in West Forks had not seen any deer early Saturday morning, but owner Brandon Berry said by the end of the day they would have at least a few deer come in. He said the store was busy and that the 80 or so bears they have seen tagged this year are the most they have ever had. The parking lot at Hussey’s General Store in Windsor was nearly full Saturday, with a couple of hunters having their deer tagged and several shoppers upstairs in the sporting goods section. In Oakland, at D & L Country Store, the parking lot was getting full. Annie’s Variety in Sidney had seen five or six deer come in Saturday morning. Moosehead Trail Trading Post in Palmyra had only been open a half an hour by 9:30 a.m., but they were busy.
