Larry: Shagbark hickory is not native in northern Wisconsin. The furthest north native shagbarks are near Eau Claire and Green Bay, at about 44-45 degrees latitude (although in eastern Canada they are found in the Montreal area at 46 degrees). Someone must have planted the one you saw, but obviously if it can grow in Montreal, it can grow in Bayfield as well.
