Funnel Cloud at Sunset

by Otter Creek | posted in: Nature & Outdoors | 0

We had severe thunderstorms moving through Otter Creek yesterday. I walked down to the garden and saw this funnel cloud. It didn’t touch down and didn’t last long but it moved right over our fields and house.

Why Did the Buck Cross the Road?

Sometimes you have to wonder why a buck crosses the road….This nice buck had no concern for me or the truck this morning. I’ve got to start seeing this buck when I’m not going to work! Sorry about the low … Continued

About Otter Creek Redneck

Otter Creek is a small rural township in northwest Wisconsin — the kind of place where the nights are quiet, the winters are long, where the people, fields and woods hold stories that deserve telling.

Otter Creek Redneck exists to preserve the quiet moments, hard-earned wisdom, and simple beauty of rural life in northern Wisconsin — through honest storytelling, reflection, and lived experience.

This blog isn’t about trends or headlines. It’s about place, memory, and the simple rhythm of life lived close to the land.

Here, you’ll find reflections from the woods, stories handed down through family, and moments that would otherwise slip past unnoticed. It’s a record of rural life as it is — sometimes hard, often quiet, always honest.

Because these stories matter.
And because someday, they may be all that’s left.

Welcome to Otter Creek.

About the Ottercreek Redneck

First off, I don’t really fit the stereotype most people picture when they hear the word redneck. I’m just a guy living in rural Otter Creek Township in northwest Wisconsin.

Why do I live here? Simple. There’s a dirt road about 100 feet from my driveway. My nearest neighbor is a quarter mile away. I can walk north out my back door and not cross a road for four miles. That kind of space makes me happy.

I deer hunt. I turkey hunt. I fish. I garden. I ride horses. I watch nature. I fix things when they break down.

And then I turn around and head to a high-tech job in town… and my deer stand has Wi-Fi.

That’s Otter Creek living in a nutshell.
