I am no stranger to deer hunting.   Oh, I've never gone deer hunting, but my Uncle Russell would come and pick my father up to go deer hunting when I was very young and I've been married to a deer hunting family.  To me, it meant three weekends of shopping, going to church bazaars and crafting.  I've always had burning questions about deer hunting and finally decided I'd ask my co-host Ken.  Maybe my questions have come to your mind too.

Our daughter Kylee had never been to Gronk's Grill & Bar in Superior so we decided to head over for dinner.  Lucky for us the Wednesday night special was a BOGO on some of their upside down burgers!  While we were waiting for our food we noticed something weird in Homie's beer glass and asked our server Amanda about it.  I was shocked at her answer and immediately asked if I could do it for the video below.

Have you heard of Love Locks?  The first time I heard of this testament of lovers was with the bridge in Paris.  The structure had so many locks attached to it, the structure was compromised, so they were removed.  That's the case on the Brooklyn Bridge as well, but on Duluth's famous Lakewalk, the Love Locks remain with room for more.
