With only a little over a month until the opener of archery whitetail deer season, many of us are wondering about things such as antler development, deer numbers, and buck-doe ratio on the property we hunt.

JAPAN SURRENDERS TO END WORLD WAR II

8 months ago By News Staff

After the atomic bomb strikes on Japan in early August 1945, followed by Russian forces attacking the Japanese army in Manchuria, the Japanese government, finally, signaled its willingness to surrender on Aug. 10, 1945. On Aug. 14, the Emperor of Japan announced the intention to surrender via a radio broadcast to the country on Aug. 15. A formal surrender ceremony was held on the deck of the battleship Missouri in Tokyo Bay on Sept. 2, 1945.
