Barron County’s five-lake Chetek chain owns a strong reputation for providing above average angling for a number of panfish and game fish species and that’s not likely to change anytime soon, based on the results of a 2018 DNR spring and fall survey of Prairie and Pokegama lakes.

The vast majority of native bird nesting takes place in spring, right after trees green up and the flowers start to bloom. The spring nesting season feels like a frantic rush to quickly build a nest, lay, and incubate eggs and feed the chicks. Each bird species approaches nesting differently, but ultimately with the same goal in the end: successfully passing on their genes via fledging baby birds.
Some species, however, don’t follow the early nesting playbook. The American goldfinch (Spinus tristis) is a great example of this alternate nesting behavior.

One of the best shots I’ve ever met uses one shotgun for everything. He does all his upland and waterfowl hunting with an old semi-auto, and it’s taken him to multiple berths on the all-state sporting clays team, too.
Not only does he own just the one gun, he neglects it almost criminally. One year he left it out by the side of his barn and didn’t find it until the snow melted in the spring. Clearly, you can do more than merely get by with a single shotgun, if you choose the right one. Recently I asked four gun writers what their choice would be if they were limited to one gun.
