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.
