Born in 39 in Adams, Wi. Father was City Engineer, Mother a School Teacher. Father hunted and fished, got my 1st rifle at age 8, a Rem. 510 .22rf, still have it. Have hunted and fished since I can remember thanks to Dad.Only year I didn't hunt was the year the Army had me in Korea. Liked the outdoors so much and wanted to protect it became a Conservation Warden. Retired in 88 so I could persue my love of hunting and fishing.
