Title: Moving to Wisconsin
Post by: Cyclic-Rivers on May 15, 2017, 09:14:00 PM
It has been a long time in the making but just today I handed in my resignation letter to my current employer and in a couple weeks I will have relocated to Wisconsin.

It all happened very quickly. Very, very quickly.  I accepted a position as an emergency dispatcher for law enforcement, fire, ems and 911.  

I am very excited about my new career. I also am saddened to leave all the friends I have made here in NY through Trad Gang and Hudson Mohawk Traditional Archers, but at the same time Excited to meet folks I have met through here and Wisconsin traditional archers.

I regret not being able to say goodbye to my friends in person but it's the way it has to be. I will be however going to this Sunday's local 3 d shoot so I hope to see some of you there.

I look forward to better hunting opportunities and will miss some of the annual hunts I have done here and in the Adirondacks. I will always cherish the memories and friends in NY.

Wish me luck and please stay in touch.  If you're passing through central Wisconsin be sure to look me up.

Good luck to you. May your transition go smoothly.
 I left Syracuse almost two yrs ago now.
 Leaving friends and family is hard. Leaving NY was easy.   ;)

Best of luck Charlie.  You will be surrounded by Bowhunters out in WI.  Check out the Ojibawa Bowhunters.  They are hosing a PBS Odd-Year gathering this July, and then Next year the PBS Gathering will be held in Madison.

Not to mention, you are now 1/2 way to the west, so might as well head the rest of the way to do some awesome hunting.

Welcome to Wisconsin. Central Wisconsin has some good deer hunting. Be sure to check out the Wisconsin Traditional Archers website when you get here.  We have a number of trad shoots listed throughout the summer.

There are some good trad groups in Wisconsin and especially Michigan! Plus the deer hunting isn't bad I've heard and if you skip over the Canadian border it gets even better!

Good luck Charlie!!  It's not an easy job but I know you'll do fine. There's a ton of responsibility attached to it as I'm sure you know.
Title: Re: Moving to Wisconsin
Post by: Chuck Janssen on May 16, 2017, 08:43:00 AM
It will be great to have you back home Charlie, now I will have someone to shoot with again and to explore the 2 farms and locate the elusive whitetails that roam them.
See you very soon,
Dad

Charlie,

As a former EMT and EMS dispatch I can tell you that your talent will fly anywhere.

Get settled in and enjoy the ride!

BTW...Wisconsin has an awesome Whitetail herd that needs 'thinnin...   :thumbsup:

Post by: Cyclic-Rivers on May 16, 2017, 07:09:00 PM
Thanks everyone for the nice comments. I grew up in Wisconsin and was able to get back periodically for hunting. So I know what to expect in that regard.

I shadowed the communication center where I will be working and have to say I look forward to working with professionals.

I also look forward to the PBS convention coming up in Madison.

I will miss the mountains and the incredible trout rivers. I will miss the ocean and the nights I spent on the Mighty Hudson River fishing for stripers. It is a tidal river thus flowing both ways and partly where my handle cones from.

Distance doest separate friendship though.

Guys,
Where are you shooting this Sunday? Charlie, it was a pleasure to meet you at Tollgate Archery a few years ago and was hoping to shoot with you again,but if that isn't possible then I want to wish you the very best in your new position and location. Hopefully you will continue to contribute to this site under the same handle. May God bless.

Rick

Thanks fellas. I will miss shooting with all the fine people I've met out here in NY and the guys I used to shoot with at 3d shoots and video Archery.

I know Wisconsin has a great heritage and a very good amount of archers.

Ron is correct, we are shooting at Guan Ho Ha. It's the same club that hosted my wedding reception in 2006. The game plan is to start shooting at 9.

Sounds like we will have a great representation of archers Sunday. Hope to see you Dan. Hope you can make it Rick but understand the distance is a definitely a deterrent especially for a couple hours.

Hi Charlie,
Ironically I shot there last weekend in the pouring rain. Have a great shoot and I hope the weather is better for you than it was for me. I wish you the very best Charlie and have a safe move.

Regards,
Rick

Congrats on the new job and change of scenery! I have an interview next week for a position that would also require a major relocation so I completely understand what you're going through. Only I'd be heading way south. Hopefully ill be able to post similar news in the new future! Good luck on the next chapter in your life!

Your family must be extremely happy. Look forward to seeing you at some of the WTA's shoots.

Post by: smokin joe on May 20, 2017, 07:17:00 AM
You should check out the trout fishing in the area around Westby and Coon Valley. It is a fly fisherman's dream location -- lots of beautiful spring creeks with brookies and browns. And as you know, great deer hunting in WI. Best of luck with the move. Hope our paths cross again soon.

Title: Re: Moving to Wisconsin
Post by: ron w on May 21, 2017, 02:39:00 PM
We had a good turn out to send Charlie off. A bunch of us got together and shot a 3-D to say farewell. Some good laughs were had and in general a great time. We will miss him.

Thanks guys. Good luck Terry I look forward to coming over and shooting your up and comers.    :saywhat:    Looking froward to Mad town.

Mike you have a nice place and I will always have the wonderful memories.

Ron, you guys sure did not disappoint. Great turn out with some of the best guys I have ever known. Sorry I had to exit quickly but too many things to finish up on a short time. I will miss shooting with you guys.

Charlie, Check out the Rib Mountain Bowmen club located west of Brokaw (couple miles north of Wausau). A great place to shoot and has a fairly large core group of stickbow shooters. Broadhead league starts mid-June, after the Badger State Games concludes. Hope to see you there.

Post by: Cyclic-Rivers on May 29, 2017, 10:30:00 PM
Yes living in Wausau. Tom, I took Archery merit badge there. I'll look at getting over there once settled.
After unloading the truck, I checked trail cameras. Had a lot of turkeys, lots of deer, a doe with a fawn which went missing after day 2. A lot of coyotes and a 3.5 foot tall black bear. Also a sand hill crane.
