History
Afield: Stories from the Golden Age of Wisconsin Sporting Life
by Robert C Willging
Hardcover from Wisconsin Historical Society Press
ISBN: 0870204297
Stories of sportsmen past come to life in History Afield,
an account of the many and varied sporting pursuits that are part of the
Wisconsin tradition. Author and outdoorsman Robert Willging shares more
than two dozen tales of Wisconsin sporting history, highlighting the hunt
for waterfowl, upland birds, and deer; trout fishing in wild north Wisconsin
rivers; and recreating at early Wisconsin lakeside resorts.Anecdotes of
fishing exploits on our plentiful waterways and presidential visits to
northern Wisconsin reveal a unique slice of sporting culture, and chapters
on live decoys and the American Water Spaniel demonstrate the human-animal
bond that has played such a large part in that history. Tales of nature's
fury include a detailed account of the famous Armistice Day storm, as well
as the dangers of ice fishing on Lake Superior. These historical musings
and perspectives on sporting ethos provide a strong sense of the lifestyle
that Willging has preserved for our new century.Featuring first-hand interviews
and a variety of historic photos depicting the Wisconsin sporting life,
History Afield shows how the intimate relationship between humans
and nature shaped this important part of the state's heritage. |

On
the Hunt: The History of Deer Hunting in Wisconsin
by Robert C Willging
Hardcover from Wisconsin Historical Society Press
ISBN: 087020405X
On the Hunt is the story of deer-hunting in Wisconsin,
from the spear-throwing Paleo-Indians to the sportsmen of today. Meticulously
researched by one of the state's most prolific outdoor writers, On the
Hunt covers subsistence and sport hunting, deer camps, changing deer
management policies, and recent developments and controversies, from human
encroachment on deer habitat to CWD. Range maps and charts tracking annual
herd populations and harvest goals complement Willging's engaging storytelling.
Drawing from Department of Conservation papers, hunting magazines, newspapers,
historic photos of classic deer camps, and the personal stories of hunters
and deer managers, On the Hunt offers a fascinating glimpse into
a distant and not-so-distant past, when the hunt joined men in almost mythical
unity and bucks were seemingly larger than life.An ardent sportsman with
nearly 25 years of hunting experience, Willging understands that deer-hunting
is as much about the smell of the woods in autumn and the meticulous cleaning
of a fine rifle as it is about bringing home a whitetail. His story of
how Wisconsin's own World War II flying ace, Richard Bong, squeezed in
a few days of hunting while home on leave vividly illustrates the sport's
powerful pull on hearts and minds. Willging also engagingly conveys the
important tradition of the deer-hunting camp, from a humble two-man shack
in Chequamegon National Forest (like the one he shared with his best friend,
Steve) to the grand old Deer Foot Lodge founded in 1912 in Vilas County.On
the Hunt is perfect preparation for the avid sportsman's annual fall
trek with friends and family into the woods. |
