DISCOVERING | Escanaba in da Moonlight Deer Camp


Subscribe:


Episode 110 - Behind the famous "Escanaba in da Moonlight" deer camp is a great woman, 95-year-old Gladys Bittner, who is definitely not a buck-less Yooper. I visited with Gladys and 2 of her children to talk about the big bucks Gladys bagged and how their deer camp became the most famous deer camp in the U.P., da Soady deer camp.
