Hunting Places To Go % For many students, hunting and fishing were two of the most entertaining sports available. Hundreds of thousands of hunters and fishermen flocked to our nation’s bountiful, natural lakes, marshes, and forests in search of that ten point, 240 pound buck, that ten pound walleye, or six pound mallard. There were tremendous opportunities to accomplish these goals in our own region. A few had the privilege to go to Wyoming in search of mule deer and antelope, or to fish walleye and pike in Canada, but most found their reward locally. “Every year we bow and gun hunt near our cabin in Waupaca. There are a lot of big bucks and squirrels too,”’ said junior Randy Boyce. Although this was a severe winter for hunting, with rain and sleet making an already difficult job worse, 230,477 deer were bagged in Wisconsin. As in the past six years, Mr. Wollerman set up and ran the Big Buck and Doe Contest. Senior Garth Sawall turned out the buck with the largest number of points-nine-win- ning the senior class competition. There are many reasons that hunters and fisherman endure many long and often unfruitful hours in the field and stream. ‘I’m always trying to out think the animal, to get the edge,” said sophomore Tom Wissink. Being with your father and friends was another popular reason for weekend treks in the wild. “Getting a deer is a good thing, but until | went archery hunting, | had never really seen much wildlife! Sitting in my stand, | could look down and see grouse, weasel, and all kinds of wildlife. Hunting gives people peace and quiet, and a chance to really enjoy the outdoors. | think it’s just great.” said Jim Wollerman. There was also the day after hunt, and nights in the cabin, with everyone talking about the beautiful buck or ten pound walleye that got away.
