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.

Charlie, Best of luck to you my friend!! Fred
-
Good luck Charlie! :thumbsup:
I quit my job of 20 years and 10 days last week.
-
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.
-
I will miss you...........I'll never forget our elk hunt.
-
Good deal Charlie, where to ? We have to get together
-
Good for you buddy. All the best.
-
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.
-
See you at a shoot soon.
-
Congrats on taking that step, being a homeboy myself i cant imagine how hard of a decision that would be. I wish you all the best!!
-
Congratulations on the move. Good luck with your new job.
-
Charlie. congratulations welcome back to the Midwest.
-
Good luck to you!
-
Hope it works out well for you .
And you might just be able to get to the Kalamazoo trad archery show this next year . Just across the lake .
-
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!
-
Goodluck on the move Charlie! I myself have just moved to Texas last week.
-
I am happy it all came together for you Charlie. Best wishes to you and your wife.
-
It's a good move, Charlie. Wisconsin is a beautiful place. I always loved my outdoor adventures there.
-
Good luck Charlie, see you there sometime
-
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.
-
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
-
Done deal, Brother...?? Good Luck!!!!!
Tyler & I will miss you! May the Great One look watch over you & Becca... (Remember, the Hawk is a messenger)
-
Welcome to Wisconsin! Hunting here can be great as deer numbers are rising. Wisconsin Traditional Archers is great!
-
Congratulations Charlie! You are making a good move. I really enjoyed shooting with you the few times we were in Rockwood, and I appreciate all the info and advice about the Moose River area. God bless you and Becca. :clapper:
-
Some of the BEST deer hunting around is central Wisconsin! (where I live up north... ehhh... not so much. :(
Best of luck with the move and welcome.
-
Congratulations Charlie. I know you are looking forward to getting back to Wisconsin.
I will see you Sunday at the 3d.
-
Good luck Charlie on your new job & the move. Make sure you post pics of your successes hunting. Terry
-
Where in WI are you settling??
-
Congrats on your new job. You'll love it here. Some great bow hunting organizations. And very good deer hunting. Best of luck.
-
I just moved back to WI six months ago, and it has been a great thing. Best of luck!
-
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:
-
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.
-
Long overdue! Congratulations Charlie - see you soon!
-
Good luck Charlie. I hope to see you on Sunday,
Dan.

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.

There is a 3/D at Guan ho Ha F&G near Scotia N.Y. A few of us are going.......last time to shoot with Charlie, here at least......lol.
-
Congrats Charlie on the move. Hope to meet up with you at a shoot or tradarchery event soon.
-
Hey Charlie, All the best in Wisconsin. It was great to get to meet you and shoot with you at Oxtar and at Mike's place. Glad everything came together for you.

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!
-
glad to hear it Charlie.
Your family must be extremely happy. Look forward to seeing you at some of the WTA's shoots.
-
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.
-
Charlie,
So happy to see this final work out for you, I know it's been a long process.
Best of luck with the move, it can be pretty challenging,
-
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.
-
Nice Ron
-
Good luck Charlie! I'm not far behind you, but will likely pull up a bit short in Indiana. See you in Madison.
-
All The Best Charlie! It was always a pleasure to have you at my place in Cornwallville...
... mike ... :archer2: ...
-
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.
-
Where in WI are you settling?
-
Checking in for the first time in Wisconsin. Drove straight from NY to Wausau. It was a long trip and now time to unpack.
-
Glad you had a safe trip to the beautiful state of Wisconsin.
-
Charlie, Glad to see you made it there okay.
-
Keep in touch......... :cool:
-
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.
-
Charlie are you living in Wausau???
Great area.
Congrats again.
-
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.
-
Congrats.
-
Happy to hear you made it out there!
-
Good to hear you made it safe and sound.
-
awesome Charlie , Glad you made it out safley
