Hobbies or Special Talents:
Wilson enjoys hunting with both gun and bow, which usually involves his mules hauling him and his camp to the high country. He also enjoys fishing and vegetable gardening. He and Kristi bought a small fishing boat so they can enjoy cruising around our beautiful lakes. Their main garden crops are corn and green beans which are frozen and canned respectively so that they have plenty of veggies and wild game for the winter.
