Babe Winkelman - My Life in the Wild:
Hunting, Fishing and Family
Babe Winkelman loves the outdoors
and after building a successful business
in Northern Minnesota, he decided to
make it a career. He sold his business in
1975 and has spent his life ever since,
teaching Americans to hunt and fish.
His two television series, “Outdoor
Secrets” and “Good Fishing” have run
for over 30 years and Babe’s enthusiasm
for the outdoors has never waned.
Hunting and fishing are family affairs
with the Winkelmans. Babe’s wife,
Chris, and daughters love to join him in
the great outdoors, and Babe’s millions
of television fans have joined Babe
and his family as they have hunted and
fished the world. Hunting and fishing
gives the Winkelmans unique opportunities to share
adventure and challenge, success and failure, quiet times
and fireside conversations . . . and just to spend great
moments together. “It is our family tradition and it makes
us stronger and better people,” says Babe.
Babe Winkelman is a hunting and fishing icon. He’s a great
story teller, teacher and promoter of hunting and fishing,
and on January 5, 2012 he will share his stories, photos and
videos with the San Diego Chapter
of SCI. You don’t want to miss
this one. Bring the youngsters,
they will love this event.

By Beard Hobbs
After eight years of diligently applying for a trophy
elk tag in Arizona, I finally hit the lottery and drew
a trophy bull elk archery tag in unit 5b South, near
Winslow, Arizona. With tag in hand I booked my hunt
with friend and guide Steven Ward of Ward’s Outfitters.
Over the past five years I have hunted Coues deer, mule
deer, javalina, coatimundi and now elk with Ward’s
Outfitters. They are based out of Wilcox, Arizona and
primarily provide guiding services to bow hunters.
Steven’s camps are first class. He always rents a nice
cabin and has excellent guides, hot showers, warm beds
and a great cook.
My elk hunt started on September 09, 2011. The first
day I missed a 60-yard shot at a 340 class bull. On the
second day we made a great stalk on a bedded bull
that would have scored somewhere north of 370. We
crawled within 200 yards of the bedded bull, and then
waited for him to get up and feed over a ridgeline. As
soon as the bull and cows cleared the ridgeline, we
literally raced across the flats and up the side of the
ridge. As we neared the ridge, we could see the big
bull standing in some oak brush at about 50 yards. As
we waited for the bull to clear, another hunter came in
from the side and busted our stalk. Oh well, close but
no cigar!
Every day we were constantly in contact with various
herds of elk. Steven doesn’t much believe in bugling or
cow calling. He only uses a bugle to locate elk when
they aren’t bugling and he only uses a cow call to stop
a bull when he wants you to shoot. I can honestly say
that when it comes to elk hunting, Steven out thinks
them, and moves in and out of a herd as if he were
some sort of elk shape shifter. Having hunted elk
for the better part of the last 45 years, I am in awe of
Steven’s elk hunting skills. Steven Ward is the ELK
WHISPERER!!!!!!
About the fifth day, with extreme stealth, Steven
walked us directly into the middle of a herd of elk. For
at least an hour we had four 6x6’s and maybe 30 plus
cows, anywhere from 20 to 80 yards from our position.
Just before dark, the entire herd walked single file past
us at 45 yards. The biggest bull in this group was a
The Elk Whisperer
4
325 class bull, and having already been spoiled, it was
pretty easy to pass on shooting him.
On the ninth day of the hunt, at first light we raced
across several canyons in an attempt to close the
distance between us and several herds of cows and
bulls. As we slipped from tree to tree, Steven positioned
us within 30 yards of a 350 class 6x6. As we stood
waiting for him to move into an opening, a cow walked
within 10 yards of us. Steven just whispered, hold still
and don’t look up. The cows moved slowly off and the
bull followed.
Almost immediately a group of cows and a 360 class
6x6 moved up from the bottom of the draw. Steven
silently moved us into shooting position. The cows,
followed by the herd bull, walked directly in front of
us. As the big bull cleared, Steven cow called and as
the bull stopped and turned his head towards us, Steven
whispered “Shoot.” My shot was high, right and barely
created a flesh wound. Steven and I glassed the bull as
he followed his cows down the draw and up the side of
the adjoining canyon. I was distraught and devastated
but somewhat relieved in that Steven confirmed my
shot as nothing more than a slight flesh wound.
Within minutes, Steven turned his attention to three
separate groups of elk moving up the side of the canyon
and heading toward the ridgeline. With raging bulls
screaming from all sides, Steven and I picked our way
through the cedars and pines. As we pushed forward,
we were able to get in front of two of the groups of elk.
As the first group moved past us at 60 yards, Steven
stopped a big 6x6 as the elk moved through the cedars.
Again I shot and missed wide to the right. Steven
looked at me and said, “Something is wrong with your
bow.” At this point I was beyond distraught and could
not even fathom how I could miss three big 6x6 bulls.
Steven just said, “Hang in there, we are going back to
the cabin and we will fix the problem.” After watching
me shoot my bow, we discovered that my drop away
was catching the fletching of my arrow causing the
arrow to kick right approximately three feet at 60 yards.
At thirty yards, the defect was not noticeable but the
further I moved back the more noticeable the problem
became. Steven got out his bow tools and within a

½ hour had the problem fixed and we were back in
business.
Fast forwarding to day eleven, at first light we
heard bulls off in the distance. Steven and I hiked
approximately two miles only to find ourselves on the
rim of a canyon overlooking a lake. We could hear
two bulls screaming, and both Steven and I swore that
they were directly below us in a cluster of pines at the
bottom of the canyon. We moved about 400 yards to
the north and then dropped off into the bottom of the
canyon. As we closed in on the cluster of pine trees
we began to hear bulls bugling across the lake. Steven
looked and me and said, “The bulls are across the lake
and what we have been hearing is an echo bouncing off
the surface of the lake.” We took off and headed around
to the other side of the lake. By the time we reached
the far shore, the bulls had stopped bugling and all was
silent. Steven said it was no problem, he would find
them.
5
We slowly and quietly picked our way from cedar tree
to cedar tree. Suddenly, Steven stopped and motioned
for me to be quiet. Steven whispered that the herd bull
was bedded approximately 70 yards in front of us.
Steven picked up a broken branch and started raking it
against the nearest cedar tree. Within seconds, Steven
said the bull was coming and for me to get ready and
look towards the clearing to my right. As I set up, the
bull walked into the opening and Steven whispered,
“Sixty yards.” I settled my 60 yard pin and touched off
the shot as the bull spun and ran off into the cedars.
Although the shot was a little far back, it was a good
liver shot. We waited for approximately one hour and
then followed the blood trail for approximately 250
yards where we ultimately found the dead bull. My
Arizona elk scores 367 5/8. The hunt was incredible.
I probably saw more than 30 6x6 trophy bulls and one
white cow elk. Oh, and the other hunter in camp killed
a bull that scored 393 the day after I shot my bull.

The Akwe River and Yakutat Bay
By Wilt Williams
�e �rst week in October, one of SDSCI’s Charter
Members, John Latham, guided me, Dr. Mike Kelly,
and his son at John’s new �shing camp on the Akwe
River in S.E. Alaska.
We spent three days �y �shing in this spot and
then �ew back to Yakutat for three days of sea duck
hunting on Yakutat Bay right from John and Fran’s
Blue Heron Inn.
Quite frankly, I do not proclaim to be an expert �y
�sherman although I �nd myself �y �shing more in
the last ten years than in the past. Mike, on the other
hand, is a very good �y �sherman and he and his rod
are always in continual motion.
For the three days we spent �shing, the weather
held with no rain and treated us to one night of the
Northern Lights. �e silver salmon were in full bite
and we caught and released in excess of 20 �sh in the
12 to 16 lb. range per day per person.
�e scenery is beautiful at this camp with snow
covered Mt. Fairweather in the background and the
daily sightings of moose and bear. �e camp is right
on the river and a few miles up from the mouth
which empties into the sea. �e �sh were fresh and
full of �ght and all you had to do was fall out of your
sleeping bag, roll down the bank and you were �shing.
6
�is undoubtedly was the best �y �shing I’ve ever
experienced both for numbers and size of �sh.
For me the sea duck shooting that John has on
Yakutat Bay is something special. I have returned
time and again and never tire of taking these exotic
northern waterfowl.
�e experience of shooting over hand-carved decoys
with snowy mountains in the background, tides
rising and falling, sea otters in the rig, and scoters,
Golden Eye, Old Squaw and Harlequins dropping
into the decoys makes for an experience that is
addicting to any avid duck hunter. You just have to
keep going back every few years to treat yourself to
the experience.
�is trip has been donated numerous times by John to
our Chapter Auction and not only do I thank John for
his donations but recommend it to anyone who likes
waterfowl hunting and �y �shing at its best.

Saskatoon Waterfowl Hunt
By Wilt Williams
For many years Bill Poole put together a group that
ventured annually to South America for bird hunting.
Since Bill’s passing, those of us old buzzards that
are still able to swing a shotgun have been seeking
a closer comparable hunting area to enjoy the
camaraderie and shooting that was enjoyed with Bill.
This fall Jim Marinos, John Hadlock, Harold Kivett
and I ventured to Larson Lake Outfitters lodge
near Spiritwood, Saskatchewan for a try at North
American waterfowl hunting without all the travel
hours and airline hassle it takes to get to South
America and still have volume shooting.
Harold had been Bill’s agent for the South American
trips and always did a fine job so when he called
and said he had found a comparable area north of
Saskatoon, would we like to try it, the 3 of us booked
for the last week in October and Harold went with us.
The trip was two air hours to Denver then two air
hours to Saskatoon where we rented an SUV and
drove two hours north to Kim’s Tiringer’s lodge. The
lodge was much like the Argentina estancias that we
were used to staying in – very comfortable and the
food was excellent. The hunting was all done within
30 minutes of the lodge either in thrashed pea fields or
7
wheat stubble. We did not hunt over water. This was
all dry land hunting for both ducks and geese.
The weather was in the 20’s in the mornings, but no
rain or snow fell while we were there. We used robo
ducks in the decoys mainly for ducks, but the geese
also came into them. The ducks were 99% mallards
with a few pintails in the flights. The geese were
mainly greater honkers with a few speckled bellies.
I can honestly say there were as many ducks in the
air as in Argentina; in fact, we all quickly changed
to skeet and I.C. chokes and went to smaller size shot
for they were all but in the blind with us. Definitely
within the red zone. It was so good that we had to
watch ourselves to keep legal. The geese came in
right on the deck and while not quite as numerous as
the ducks, we had good shooting.
We all agreed after this trip that it was every bit as
good as South America as far as birds in the air and
a heck of a lot easier to get to. We had a great time, a
good shoot and plan on doing it again.
The farm also has indigenous elk, muledeer, whitetail
and spring black bear hunts mainly right on the 7,000
acre property. Kim also has 2500 acres high fenced
and does Estate Elk hunting.

By Ingrid Poole
During the many years Captain Justin Fleck worked
on the EXCEL, he loved hearing Bill Poole’s hunting
stories. Unfortunately, it was not until he could no
longer hear the stories directly from Bill, that he
�nally had his �rst opportunity to hunt. It was on a
“First Timers” pheasant hunt in Mexico with Ingrid
at the invitation of Michael Rogers, Jr., who would be
�lming three �rst-time hunters. Justin got to use one
of Bill’s 12 gauge shotguns.
First Time Hunter
8
�us, began a series of FIRST-EVER hunts for Justin.
Luckily, a passenger who had attended our San Diego
Chapter Auction 2011 and had won four guns, gave
a ri�e to Justin when hearing of his eagerness to
hunt. It was with this new ri�e he took his very �rst
deer, a hunt he will never forget because they hunted
hard for three days near Julian on public land before
taking his �rst deer -- a nice 3 x 2. Another passenger
arranged for Justin to get a 12 gauge shotgun, with
which he recently took his �rst turkey and �rst quail.
Bill had wanted to give Justin a 20 gauge shotgun, so
when I invited Justin to join us recently at the Green
Head Gun Club, I proudly gave him Bill’s 20 gauge
to shoot 5-stand and he did great. John Ehlers and
Wilt Williams completed the day by helping Justin
sight in his two
(yes, two) new
ri�es. Justin
who is used

himself hooked
on hunting.

Introducing Babe Winkelman: A Hunting
and Fishing Legend
Babe Winkelman is a husband, father, sportsman,
television personality and businessman. He is a
true achiever and has been widely recognized for
his successes. In 1992, he was inducted into the
prestigious Sports Legends Hall of Fame by the
Touchdown Club of Columbus, Ohio, alongside the
world’s best athletes in baseball, football, boxing,
etc. Babe is the only outdoors figure to be so honored
before or since. He was inducted into the Fresh Water
Fishing Hall of Fame in 1988 and the Minnesota
Fishing Hall of Fame in 2001. In 2007 he earned
the “Excellence In Craft” award from the Outdoor
Writers Association of America. Babe has spoken
before American Presidents and has rubbed elbows
with Hollywood stars.
Prior to building himself into a hunting and fishing
icon, Babe Winkelman built buildings. He formed
the Winkelman Building Corporation in 1969, and
the company quickly grew. Babe’s passion for fishing
and hunting grew too. He had a burning desire to
find some way to make his outdoor interests his
profession. In 1975 he made the leap by selling his
shares to chase his dream.
9
The rest, as they say, is history.
Babe takes great pride in teaching America to
hunt and fish, and has done so since the 1980s. In
addition to entertaining and educating his loyal
fans every week on numerous cable/satellite and
broadcast stations (including Versus and FSN), Babe
has appeared on national talk shows and within the
pages of People magazine, The Saturday Evening
Post and other leading publications. He continues
to write nationally-syndicated fishing, hunting and
conservation columns read by millions.
According to hunter, angler and family man Babe
Winkelman, “I’ve been blessed to make the outdoors
my life for over 30 years. God willing, I’ll continue
for many more.”
Babe the Hunter
“I’ve been hunting since I was 8 years old,” Babe remembers, “when
my dad would take us out for pheasants. I shot my first deer when I
was 12.” A brief glance at Babe’s huge trophy room and you get a feel
for his many accomplishments since boyhood. His most cherished
trophies are the Pope and Young whitetails that adorn his walls, his
moose that made the cover of Pope and Young’s magazine, and his
Boone and Crockett mule deer and whitetail. He learned at an early
age that things don’t just happen in nature, but that wildlife responds
in predictable patterns based on a relationship of cause and effect.
He learned to “Master the Patterns of Nature,” a truism which soon
became the trademark slogan for the “Outdoor Secrets” television
series.

“Fish & Game
