Campbellsport sets world record for best of the wurst! Well, they did it! The boys from Campbellsport, Wisconsin set a new world record with a 48-foot bratwurst. I'm a little lax in getting this posted, but here ya go anyway. Read all about it on the Campbellsport website. You can also Google Campbellsport world record brat and find a bunch of stories on the super sausage from Fond du Lac County. Only in Wisconsin, hey! Later... 8:51:32 PM    comment []

Sturgeon story in Wisconsin Outdoor News If you liked the blog entry I posted in "On the Road" back on June 25, then you'll want to read my story on that trip in the latest Wisconsin Outdoor News.  It's the center spread story, with several color photos.  In a few days, you might find it posted on the WON website, but for now, you'll have to pick up a copy at your favorite newsstand, or borrow one from your buddy who subscribes.  You know, if you had your own subscription, you could have read it by now!

Come Exercise with Wishigan Outdoors Here's an invitation from Gary Martin, editor of Wishigan Outdoors.  If you're not familiar with Wishigan, it's a monthly publication that features hunting, fishing and other outdoor activities in northeast Wisconsin and Michigan's Upper Peninsula (Da U.P., home of Da Yoopers).  Gary was top gun at a recent shoot, but he claims that was a fluke.  Still, when you break 45 out of 50 birds, you're doing something right! Anyway, here's Gary's message to Wishigan readers, which he said I may share with you.  Wouldn't it be fun if a coupla hundred shooters showed up for this event on Saturday!  If you go, tell 'em where you heard about it.  If you have any questions about the event, log onto the Triple J website and give them a call. Later... Hello Wishigan Readers,   If you don't exercise it, it gets flabby! With that in mind, I want to invite everyone out to Triple J Sporting Clays (5 miles west of I-43 on highway K in Manitowoc County) this Saturday, July 17, 2004 for a Ducks Unlimited 50-target fun shoot. Come and exercise your Second Amendment rights!   The round of clays is $15 and there is a $5 Lewis Purse option, so anyone might win. Shoot all you want, all you can, in fact, you're welcome to shoot until you drop. Joe Schmatz, Triple J's owner, informs me he will have one of his famous flurry shoots too. Come see how your speed and accuracy match up against me and some of the local top guns. (I'm shooting poorly of late... so now's your chance!)   Prizes are food will be available too.   See You There!   --Gary 8:27:20 PM    comment []
