A senior ground freight transportation executive in the Chicago suburb of Burr Ridge, Illinois, Robert Rogulic is the founder and administrative head of the trucking company Tri-National, Inc. When he isn’t working, Robert Rogulic counts hunting among his favorite outdoor pursuits.
There are very few sanctioned hunting areas in the greater Chicago area, but one of them has a longstanding tradition of attracting waterfowl and outdoor enthusiasts alike. In fact, there is evidence that Abraham Lincoln frequently visited the area as a young man.
Long known by the name of the lake at its center, the Wolf Lake area became property of the State of Illinois in 1947 and assumed the name William Powers State Recreation Area in 1965. Regardless of its name, this property has been supporting state-regulated hunting for roughly 75 years. Hunters flock to Wolf Lake to shoot ducks and geese.
There are more than 25 duck blinds on the 419 acres that support hunting around Wolf Lake. Although the lake stretches across state lines into Indiana, hunting is only permitted on the Illinois side.
