They accompanied him up-north and on other outings including duck hunting and fishing. He was an avid hunter but after losing several fingers from an accident, he was forced to give up bow-hunting, but continued deer hunting with his rifle. He enjoyed Trapshooting at the Ozaukee Fish and Game and Saukville S.C. earning the High Gun trophy. He loved all animals but especially wolves and dogs and gave his heart to several canine friends through the years but most recently Dakota. He rehabilitated a baby owl, Hooter and was happy when it was able to be released in the wild. He had a tenderness toward animals and always seemed to find a deer, rabbit or squirrel that needed to be fed by him.
