"That's pretty expensive," he said. It includes an assortment of costs, including military fees, portable Links of London and garbage pickup. And conducting the hunt is a huge amount of work for the DNR, he said. "It keeps us from doing other things in the fall. Adding just one more weekend would be hard to justify." Another big one Alan Helmin wasn't the only archer to Links of London Globe Charm a hunt of a lifetime at Ripley last week. Dan Stavrum, 63, of St. Cloud shot his first deer with a bow and arrow there 45 years ago. "I quit 20 or 25 years ago when they went to a lottery system," he said. Then, two years ago, he returned, bagging a buck and a doe. He was drawn for a permit again this year, and last Thursday, he and a buddy avoided the early-morning Links of London Disc charm. Stavrum didn't climb into his stand until 9 a.m. An hour later, he arrowed a 14-point, 224-pound buck at 30 yards. "It was exciting," he said. "I've never shot one anywhere near that size." Stavrum likes the hunting access Camp Ripley provides. "It's a good hunt. It makes sense. I just wish it was longer than two days." The Stafford County School Board will vote on its new superintendent at a meeting Monday, Chairwoman Dana Reinboldt announced last night. Board members will introduce their pick after the vote, she said. "Arrangements are being made to broadcast this special called Links of London Back to School Chubby Red Pencil Charm live on the Stafford County schools' education channel," Reinboldt said at last night's School Board meeting.
