Val enjoyed hunting with his friends. The week of Sept. 18, 1919 Val Imholte and his son Otto, Joseph Gohman, R. R. Lane, Joseph Imholte and H. S. Redmon went hunting up north [The Clear Lake Times, 18 Sep 1919, p. 5, col. 1].

It was reported that the moose and deer hunters returned mostly successful. Bill Teeple got hungry and ate his game up before he got home.
