" After high school, I chose Central Michigan University, partly because
of nearby trout streams, partly because of duck marshes and grouse
cover. I remember one fall when I rented a shack seven miles from town.
The shack was on a dirt road and in ideal hunting and fishing country.
When I got tired of studying, which was often, I just picked up the
appropriate gear and walked out the door to trout, ruffed grouse,
wildfowl, deer, pheasand, and cottontails. Owing to these, I stayed
around long enough to graduate."
