No turkeys were harvested at the little cabin this spring. It was not for lack of trying. The youth who has hunted with me for three years, and who shot his first turkey last year, did not have good luck.

Jane Wiley called me in the summer of 2004 and asked to have lunch. It must have been late July, as I had just flown home from Edmonton, Alberta, with my latest Airedale puppy, Nightsun Beau Soleil (Sunny). The journals of the Wisconsin Legislature show that Jane had just been appointed to the Natural Resources Board (NRB), by Gov. Jim Doyle. I had taken my seat on the board in April. She just wanted to meet, get to know each other, and discuss the confirmation process.

“What kind of swans do we have?” I asked of a woman who was scanning Collins Marsh with her binoculars.
I have no idea what prompted me to go up to a total stranger and ask this question. I was attending the Northeast Wisconsin Dog Show Classic in Manitowoc in support of my friend, Janice Wavra, who was there showing her wire fox terrier, Snooty. I took my Airedale, Major, along for the ride.

When there was enough snow to play in, the temperatures were too brutal to go out. I am not sure the snowmobile trails ever opened in Portage County.

“Kevin will be chipping the parts of your trees that do not have logs or bolts in them and taking them to the Masonite plant in Marshfield. The price of wood is low. This is his best option. He will be mixing in oak with the maple,” said Michael Demchik, UW-Stevens Point forestry professor.
