Back in the 30's during the great depression my great uncle Otto from Finland would help his neighbors around Gowan,Mn( near Floodwood) to get food to eat by shooting deer for them because he was a generous man and because he was good at it.
He would do it after dark with a miner's light on his head which would light up the deer's eyes. You had to shoot between the eyes because that's all you could see.
Martti was a neighbor and needed meat for his family. Otto consented. They were in his back forty after dark with the gun and the light when Martti said there one is shoot him. Otto said I think his eyes are too far apart to be a deer but Martti said no the cow is in the barn that's a deer shoot him so Otto did right between the eyes and it turned out to be Martti's only milk cow.
