The first time I saw the Chippewa National I was just 14 and I have been coming back for sixty years. My dad brought me to the area for the first time and from then on I was hooked. The people, forest, lakes and wildlife never cease to amaze me. To hear the call of a loon early in the morning on the lake fishing, or just enjoying the morning is great. To see the great bald eagle come back from near extinction to now about 100 pair on Big Winnie is special. My wife and sons have enjoyed all of this with me, along with all the friends we have acquired over the years. The hunting and fishing have been a great bonus to all of us. Well, got to go, I’m heading north in the morning.
