In the year Marathon County’s Marie Skic was born, the world was a very different place. Charles Lindbergh was flying across the Atlantic for the first time, penicillin had just been invented, and a film called “Steamboat Willie” introduced the nation to a mouse called Mickey.
Much has changed since then, but Skic is still here, and at 97 years old she remains one of Wisconsin’s most avid hunters and anglers. DNR tag sales show she is one of the oldest, if not the oldest, female hunters in the state, depending on what season it is.
