Trap, I believe the first person to kill a deer with archery tackle in Michigan was Roy Case.

But the man in the middle in the pic is Barney Grenier?

Steve - I believe you may have your states mixed up. Roy was the first person to kill a deer with archery tackle in Wisconsin.

Sorry the man in the middle is not Barney Grenier, but Barney did look something like our mystery bowman.

Here is another image of our mystery bowman with his two snowy image companions...

This image is 1940 so remember our subjects may look a little older. We can see those hairlines now...

Please don't start to guess who the other two archery personalities are. Nobody has guessed their names yet...

Cody - Yes, William VanVorst was the first to kill a deer in Michigan during a Bow and Arrow Deer Season. That was 1937. Actually only 3 deer were killed during that season. Nels shot one of those first three deer. Nels also got a deer in 1938 and 1939, the only bowmen to bag a buck in each of Michigan's first three B&A seasons...

It should be noted that well before 1937, several deer were killed with a bow and arrow during the regular firearm seasons, which was legal.

Cody - I only know they were friends in the 1930s and 1940s... Don' remember seeing his name after the 1940s, but could not say that he and Fred did not remain friends after that.
