Chat With a Bowhunting Historian AND Cory’s Trophy Bull Elk
First two Photos by Jon Fuller / Spectrum News. Photos of Bill’s two books. And 1930 bowhunting photo
Listen in this Saturday to ‘meet’ Bill McCrary – a bowhunting legend in Wisconsin. That Bill loves to bowhunt is an understatement. At age 78, he has had 66 years of experience. Bill is dedicated to his art and is a member of The Wisconsin Bowhunter’s Association and an officer of the Wisconsin Bowhunting Heritage Foundation Museum in Clintonville, Wisconsin. And… he is an author: ‘The History of Wisconsin Bowhunting – 1930 to 2016’ and ‘Roy I. Case: Wisconsin Bowhunting Legend’.
“Wisconsin held its first bowhunting season in 1934. It lasted five days, attracted 40 archers, protected antlerless deer, covered only Sauk and Columbia counties, and produced one kill: A buck arrowed by a Chicago bowhunter named Bill Ostlund.”
I found the following on purchasing his books:
Our second guest this week is Cory Noltner. Cory is Director of Sales at Middleton Ford and by golly, he is an elk hunter. Cory will be joining us to talk about his trophy bull elk this fall and planning for a successful Western elk hunt. Remember: Western states game applications are due within the next few months – it is not too early to plan.
