Conservation Officer Tales

Conservation Officer (CO) tales are true stories from the field. Their stories are about their encounters with both wildlife and human beings. Sometimes they are routine checks, a call about a nuisance animal, or other times these stories might be funny and sometimes bizarre. A Conservation Officer never knows what their day will bring.

CO Thomas Wahlstrom (Grand Marais) monitored anglers on area lakes. With the consistent high winds, most anglers chose to fish from shore. Wahlstrom assisted in instruction at the Cook County firearm safety field day. The Officer also conducted commercial inspections.

Up the Gunflint

I just finished a fascinating foray into the past—the 50’s, 60’s and beyond— through Keith Morris’s new

book, Growing Up on the Gunflint Trail. I’ve shared holidays and paddling adventures with Keith, but he’s seldom shared much about his childhood up the Gunflint, so this was a joy.
