Steven Carlson of Vineyard Haven won the 2008 Top Gun Award at the Martha’s Vineyard Rod & Gun Club on Sunday, Nov. 30. Mr. Carlson bested other club members in the categories of standing deer and slug turkey. Tom Hanlon of Edgartown captured second place while Steven’s father, Richard Carlson of Vineyard Haven, picked up third prize. Diehard shotgunners braved terrible rainy conditions to sight-in their shotguns for the upcoming deer season and vie for hams donated by Cronig’s Market.
Deer hunting shotgun season ends tomorrow at a half-hour after sunset. The two-week season began strongly and then slowed down this past week with the onset of bitter cold followed by rainy, windy weather. The total count for the three Island check-in stations so far is 352 deer.
Check-in stations are at the Manuel F. Correllus State Forest headquarters, Wampanoag Tribe headquarters in Aquinnah and Larry’s Tackle Shop in Edgartown.
