Imaginary Deer & Polar Bear Season on Page Street 2012-02-18 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Melissa Stone. For those who were not fortunate enough to participate in the imaginary hunting season today, Hayden and Addie Bennett would like to share the photos from their harvest. On the left, quite possibly the two largest deer ever harvested on Page Street. On the right, Hayden shows off his super large polar bear. He said this was especially difficult because the Kentucky polar bear season only lasts two minutes! He was also grateful that his little sister was nearby to help him drag in his prize. For those who are unable to see the animals, you may need to make adjusts to the settings on your imagination. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
