Michigan Woman Has Baby, Goes Hunting
From the Chicago Tribune:
Just three weeks after giving birth to her son [on Oct. 24], Tecumseh resident Julia Westgate didn't waste any time getting started hunting this season. . . .
[The day after the Nov. 15 opener s]he snagged two deer -- an eight-point buck, age 3 or 4, which was dressed out at 170 pounds, and a doe, 4, which was dressed out at 135 pounds -- using a 20-gauge Winchester shotgun.
Tough woman!

This article is in the same stupid vein as "couple kiss first time on wedding day" that was in my local propaganda press this weekend. These are pointless articles, about normal people. There is nothing remarkable about a woman who loves to hunt or a couple who have restrain. The public realy doesn't need to know these silly random facts about their neighbors.

now that's dedication!!!! way to go. my guess is the above commentor who did not give their name is a man and therefore does not know the strain put ona woman when giving birth...that comment makes no sense anyway.
