Most of the time when we are going to a property to setup a blind it’s the first time we had a chance to see the property.When we arrived at this last one I noticed an old cabin and a barn behind the house.Turns out the property owner Ray started telling me a story about them and throughout the day I would walk over to them taking pictures and looking around.His great grandparents came over from Europe and homesteaded on this 40 acres and his dad was raised in this cabin for part of his life.They came through Ellis Island and upon arrival bought a news paper and in that paper was an add that said come to northeast Wisconsin to homestead so they worked there way to this property and the rest is history.I wish I could tell more of the stories Ray shared with me every time I walked up to the cabin throughout the day I tried to imagine how it was to live in this little building and survive.In one of the pics u will see one of at least 6 piles of rocks that his dad had a hand in picking out of the field so they could work the land.Checkout the pics and I hope it will take u back in time like it did for me through the day trying to envision the life of the hardworking people before us.!!I will post a few pics of the two blinds we set up on this property that a third/Fourth &fifth generation of family will be hunting this property.!!
