Hunting season boosts business for Thunder Bay butcher

Despite a drastic reduction in the number of moose tags given out this fall, one Thunder Bay butcher says business is good.

Jukka Liimuowns European Meats in Thunder Bay, a family shop that hasbeen supplying customers with smokies, pepperettes, and kielbasa since 1981.

Liimuwas prepared for a dip in business this hunting season,"but surprisingly enough at the beginning of this season, we had quite a large influx of moose, which I was not expecting," he said.

Liimu said last fall was a particularly busy one,and this year is about on par.

He's handling plenty of deer, as well as moose.
