Never ignore ingenuity and good ol’ grit when it comes to outdoorsmen finding a way to get back into the woods and fields to enjoy hunting or fishing.

Tim Swenson’s son was paralyzed in an automobile accident. Swenson, a longtime ATV and snowmobile dealer, combined his knowledge of snowmobiles and a wheelchair to create an all-terrain chair that would give his son the ability to get back outdoors.
Swenson’s creation became Action Track Chairs, which he refined and then created a company, Action Manufacturing, to build them. That was four years ago. Since then, their popularity has taken off and he has a waiting list for them.
“A fairly high percentage of our chairs are sold to people ages 15 to 40 years old,” Swenson told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in this feature story. “There’s a lot of military, unfortunately, that have been paralyzed or lost limbs and are now being able to be active like they used to be.”
Kudos to Swenson for his resolve and determination. What a cool thing to create and provide for so many folks interested in getting back to doing what they enjoy!

Jim Baker’s astounding nontypical buck grossed more than 260 inches and netted more than 249, shattering the Wisconsin record for a nontypical bow kill.
The Wisconsin Buck & Bear Club has officially panel-scored a state record, non-typical whitetail buck killed by Jim Baker while bowhunting Sept. 18, 2013, in Waukesha County.
Six measurers from the Wisconsin Buck & Bear Club convened to officially score the antlers following a mandatory 60-day drying period. The measurers included:
Ron Strauss, Wisconsin Buck & Bear Club
Gerry Wegner, Wisconsin Buck & Bear Club, Pope & Young
Zachary Randall, Wisconsin Buck & Bear Club
Eli Randall, Wisconsin Buck & Bear Club, Pope & Young, Boone & Crockett
Brian Tessman, Wisconsin Buck & Bear Club, Pope & Young, Boone & Crockett
Travis Mattison, Wisconsin Buck & Bear Club, Boone & Crockett
The “Jim Baker Buck” has 28 measureable points, a 19 7/8″ inside spread, and 66 6/8″ of abnormal points. It achieved an official non-typical score of 260 5/8″ gross and 249 5/8″ net scorable inches, and is now officially recognized as the current Wisconsin state record for non-typical bucks in the archery records.
The Baker buck surpasses the former non-typical state-record archery buck killed in 2009 by Wayne Schumacher, which scored 243 6/8.
Wisconsin currently ranks number one in Boone & Crockett and Pope & Young record entries.
