Adolphe TESSIER

The opening day of the deer hunting season brought death to both a hunter and his quarry Tuesday afternoon as Medios Tessier, 67, of Adams, R.D. 2, was fatally stricken while dressing a spike horn buck he had shot in a wooded area in southern Jefferson county.

The body was released to the Piddock funeral home, Adams.
