We’re not alone up here
This coming weekend is Wisconsin’s Winter Free Fishing Weekend. Residents and non-residents can fish anywhere in Wisconsin without a license or trout stamp! At this point, our ice appears to be thick enough to get out and fish on the ice, but you can fish from shore as well. All the other rules still apply, …
Once the gun deer season is over, I find myself unclenching when I drive – just a bit. I think we all get a false sense of security that we don’t have to watch for deer on the roadside as vigorously at that point. But then you see your first deer and find yourself pondering …

We have hundreds of great lakes in Northwestern Wisconsin and on any given day, there is someone out fishing. The iconic fishing lakes like Yellow Lake, Clam Lake and Big McKenzie Lake are popular destination lakes for fishing. But our smaller less known lakes support a good fish population as well. In a national study, …
Our friend John was quick enough to get a photo of our loon and its chicks. They are growing fast and we are delighted that they have escaped the talons of the eagles, who also live on our lake. The current theory of “why” the loon chicks have survived is that the eagles did not …
Recently, we were boating with friends and came upon an adult loon with a loon chick on its back. It was incredible how close we were able to get to them! After 20 years of watching the loons on our lake, I’d only seen this “piggyback” ride in pictures, not in person. This kind of …
Amidst all the road construction clattering right outside the doors at our CENTURY 21 Sand County Services office in Siren, this black bear felt at ease sauntering through our parking lot and yard. Although we’ve already had many black bear sightings this year, it was kind of incredible to look up and have one wandering …
