Web-Extra Interview

Q&A With Herb Kohler

Q: Oh my Lord! What kind of dog is it?
A: It's a little dog. Twice the size of a beagle. It looks like a fox-hound but they are trained for wild boar.

That's crazy.
A: It is crazy. Crazy, crazy!

Q: And what's the third animal on your wall?
A: The third animal is a 12-point buck I took on our property in southwestern Wisconsin on the Mississippi. So those are the three.

Q: If you had a fourth what would you hope it would be?
A: Oh gosh. Those animals in Africa. They are the fiercest animals in Africa. A Cape buffalo. The older I get the less inclined I am to hang any more on the wall. It's the total experience of you and this animal. If you are the hunter and not the shooter, it can also be a great experience.

Q: One last question. Seven is not a good golf number but I hear you're a fan. I hear you have it all over the place. Any reason why?
A: It just happens to be my lucky number. The number of my plane has triple sevens, the car license has triple sevens and my extension at work is five sevens. It's not lucky in golf, but it is everywhere else!

Although you did record the other hole-in-one in Michigan on the seventh shot.
A: [Laughs]. That's correct!
