    February 10th and the 11th is the start of the sturgeon fish spearing unfortunately the ice is a little bit in the rotten form. I don't believe in the words climate change or global warming . I do believe our climate always changes because I live in Wisconsin and we definitely have noticeable four seasons. Of course our climate is forever changing due to the atmosphere. So this is just a unique year where we had a big pile of snow three weeks ago. And now we're really warming up, so we'll set some records this year. I do find it interesting that weather records that were setting surpasses the ones from the 1970s and some from the late 1800s so yes, things are forever changing. That's what makes life interesting. Since I work a regular job. I have beagles and I can take off on the weekend and do a little rabbit hunting. I guess we all need to make the most of our time off. So good luck with your time off and I hope you enjoy! Fond du lac Wisconsin
