Raynham, MA – 11/2/2025: Discarded parts from a deer skinned by Fred Baker’s friend and business partner, Tim Kennedy, sit by the ramp to the pair’s butcher shop facility while Baker continues skinning the button buck he harvested three days prior in the backyard of their home on Sunday, Nov. 2, 2025. At the Camp Edwards location this year, one of five sites across Massachusetts, five hunters shot two deer over the three-day hunt. Compared to the state average — where around 20 percent of licensed hunters get a deer — the paraplegic crew does well, said Jason Zimmer, southeast district supervisor for MassWildlife. “All things considered, it’s pretty impressive that they have the success levels that they do,” Zimmer said.
