    Just found out our local warden David Walz received a promotion and will be moving out of this region. He did a presentation at my daughter’s highschool, and told her of the news. We’ve had a long (very positive) history with David over the last 11 years. Kudos to him! I’ve been very fortunate to have David as our local warden. He’s gone well above the call of duty to do his job the best that he could do. It’s my opinion that he is the epitome of what every warden should be like. Very professional, uses common sense, outstanding with kids and contributing to any event that enhances the outdoors. That list can go on and on. I can’t even begin to state how many times I see him traveling the roads around here; and having a very good presence amongst the hunting/fishing community here. He’ll leave a large void to be filled by who ever has taken his place. Not to even mention the funny stories that come out of his job….like releasing a badger at 7:30 at night



    David, thanks for all that you have done to protect our resources. Your efforts are noticeable and very much appreciated! Best wishes in your new endeavors.

    Mark, I know its “up north”, but nothing more than that. Lindsey had talked to him, and I haven’t been able to reach him yet. Dave has sat nights out looking over my traps because of theft, and I know how serious he takes leads on violations. He will be an asset to any region he goes to. In April, we do a Trapperman breakfast in Baraboo and I’m hoping he would join us then.
    BTW, did you box show up?

    That’s a standing invite you have and had nothing to do with the goodies. Those lippless baits have been money makers for me. I told you I’d have a few for ya…..
