Local Businesses Get Ready for Deer Opener

The week before the season opener is usually one of the busiest of the year for sporting goods stores.

Sporting goods stores like Gander Mountain have stocked their shelves full of camouflage, gloves, firearms, and other accessories.

The week before the deer season begins is usually one of the busiest all year long.

“It’s a rite and a ritual for a lot of people. Hunting camps have been going on for sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety years and it’s just a good time to be with your fellow hunters, share past stories, and then just enjoying the company and having a good hunt,” said Terry Skutevik, a firearms associate with Gander Mountain.

Gander Mountain will alos host safety seminars coming up on Saturdays and Sundays.
