The Martha’s Vineyard Rod and Gun Club reminds all the Island shot gunners to set aside Sunday, Nov. 28 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. for the club’s Deer Shoot, which takes place annually the day before deer season. This is a fun day and it gives the hunters the opportunity to set their guns, and to try and win hams, turkeys and other prizes while preparing for this year’s deer season. Refreshments will be available throughout the day.
