Deer Hunting Bonazana- 1867
The forests in the vicinity of
New Kent Courthouse, always a famous resort for deer, are said to be
filled with this favorite game to a greater extent the present season
than ever. Large numbers have fallen at the crack of the huntsman's
rifle, and a day or two since one expert killed two at once with a
double hand gun.
-Alexandria Gazette- August 29, 1867
Deer
are in New Kent to a greater extent this season than has been known for
many years. A party of gentlemen residing in the vicinity of the
court-house succeeded last week in killing five. Among the number was a
noble buck weighing 143 pounds.
