The 59-year-old, well-known vagabond - reachable only by telephone - has been providing free goose hunting opportunities in the Horicon area for nearly 20 seasons.

This year, he leased more than 500 acres near Ladysmith in Rusk County and expanded his reach into deer hunting.

"The property is loaded with deer, bear and turkey," he said. "I just got the land, which contains 4 miles of logging roads, in August.

"We put up 10 blinds along the roads where deer activity is numerous. The blinds are built for two people, with six windows and chairs to sit on.
