Clam Lake News By Andrea Krygoski

Here's a snippet to start out:

The Men's Ham Dinner of Clam Lake was always a time of community involement and fun. These and other summer community picnics were held at varoius tome throughout the summer. My summer snippets will focus on them.

Here's is a letter of thanks from 1958's Chairman, Joe Vecchie.

Well, good people, the Ham Dinner put on the men folk for Clam Lake Community, Inc. was not only a resounding financial success but the event provided a demonstration of community and cooperation that surpassed our fondest hopes. It proved that "Clam Lakers" live and work happily and harmoniously together.

It would take a ream of paper to mention the names of everyone who gave unselfishly of their time, efforts and talents in this venture and to recite their various activities and contributions. I I think you will agree that I should however, mention Eddie Thorton of Eau Claire and express our gratitude for his entertaining Hammond organ music.

To all the others, my committee chairmen and committee members, the ladies who helped with salads, the butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker, all purchasers of tickets and every man, woman and child who may have assisted....THANKS....for your wonderful cooperation that made this Ham Supper a most supper successful event.

Joe Vecchie

Thanks Lynne!

The adventures of the Dudley Family:

Fourteen of us, Rick, Kris, Pat, Pooch, Kim, Dottie, Gary, Neil, Jake, Samantha, Greg, Kelly, Dan, David and Nelda all went to Brule, to leave our atv trailers at the Brule River Motel where we stayed for the night. From there we rode our machines to Mt. Valhalla, Herbster, Lake Superior and continued on to the Testicle Festival in Port Wing. A GREAT time was had by all! We rode our machines back to the motel and had supper at the Krobar Saloon.

Weather was great, bugs were few and company was smashing!

We can't wait for our next trip which will be July 13. We all leave from the Elkhorn at 9am will ride to Stockfarm Bridge picnic grounds and have a good old fashion picnic...

Clam Lake, Wisconsin Elk News & Updates

As of May 15, 2012, approximately 154 elk were present in the state, comprised of the main herd near Clam Lake and a second smaller herd located near Butternut. The herd has grown at an average rate of 13 percent annually, however, growth rates have varied from as high as 30 percent to as low as -16 percent since 1995. Primary causes of mortality include predation by wolves and bear and vehicle collisions.

The elk herd currently occupies approximately 90 mi² of the designated 1,112 mi² elk range. The population consists of the main herd near Clam Lake and a smaller, isolated herd residing west of Butternut. Primary habitat used by the elk consists of aspen and pine forests interspersed with forest openings, lowland conifers and water bodies.

Current management practices by the DNR are focused on research aimed at securing the future of elk in Wisconsin. Research is utilized for gaining additional knowledge in regards to survival and recruitment rates, habitat use and movement patterns. This research will be essential for future management decisions so that managers can best address the needs of the elk herd.

2012 4th of July Fireworks Show

September - Fall Elk Bugling

Elk bugling is a special feature of the fall rut usually starting in late August and running through late September in the Clam Lake, Wisconsin area. As the big bull elk prepare to attract female cows, they let out bellows, which range from deep tones to high-pitch squeals to grunts. On fall nights in the Chequamegon National Forest around Clam Lake, Wisconsin, the distinctive sounds of elk rutting can often be heard. Listen to the remarkable, unforgettable sounds of native, free ranging bull elk bugling in a Northern Wisconsin wilderness. If you've never heard the bugle of the bull elk during the fall rutting period, you are in for an experience that is at once thrilling and haunting. We invite you to join us in Clam Lake during the month of September and experience this unique event! You won't soon forget the sounds of elk bulging as they echo through the forest and across the lakes of Northern Wisconsin!
