Women Makes Kill
September 20, 1940
Mrs. Florence Uptegrove, assistant county purchasing agent, has tried consistently for the last seven years to kill a deer. Yesterday her perseverance was rewarded with the third largest mule buck reported in Susanville so far this season.
The sleek, fat, forked horn tipped the scales, dressed, at 185 pounds. The venison was bagged in the foothills adjacent to Susanville.
Walter Parks of Susanville claims the largest buck killed in the lava beds of this area this season. The big five pointer weighed 192 pounds when dressed.
Robert L. Johnson of near Susanville claimed the second largest deer killed on the opening day of the season. It weighed a shade over 190 pounds dressed.
