Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The tradition of hunting in Michigan is a father-and-son activity, as well as a mother-and-daughter activity. The state’s Department of Natural Resources stopped referring to the deer as animals and began referring to them as if they were rows of corn or soybeans. #2 On November 22, 1985, Brian Ognjan and David Tyll went hunting together. They had never even bought deer licenses, thinking that since they were on private property, they didn’t need them. #3 The Tyll brothers, Dave and Brian, were going to hunt together. Dave was eight years younger than Brian, but they were extremely close. They had worked together for a landscaping company owned by one of David’s old schoolmates. #4 The hunters went to White Cloud, after all. Janice wrote Brian a check for $50 to go with the $40 he had to make sure he had enough spending money. They had been talking of marriage.
