Meet Avid Hunter and Roofing Contractor Pete Radakovich

Asphalt Life blog interviewed some of the Atlas Roofing family’s hunting enthusiasts.

Pete Radakovich is the President of Inter-State Roofing Service in West Allis, Wisconsin, and has been a hunter for 44 years, tracking turkeys in the spring and deer in the fall. “I hunt because I love being outdoors and in the woods, watching all the different animals,” he says. “I also really enjoy eating wild game meat.”

Q. What types of weapons do you use, and which is your favorite? A. I used to use a bow, but now I use a crossbow. The crossbow is my favorite because you need to be closer to your prey. I also use a rifle during our nine-day hunt in Wisconsin.

Q. Where’s your favorite hunting spot? A. My favorite spot to hunt is on private farmland in Waushara County, WI.

Q. What’s your favorite hunting tool? A. My turkey calls.

Q. What’s your most memorable hunting experience? A. I was deer hunting in northern Wisconsin and had five wolves come to my tree stand.

Q. Is there anything else you’d like to share? A. For me, hunting is just being able to get away from the hustle and bustle of running my own roofing business. There’s nothing like being able to relax in the woods after a long workweek, watching all the wildlife and taking it easy.
