When Ike decides not to accept the land he has inherited, he continues to spend all his time in the woods, hunting and fishing, but professionally becomes a carpenter. He marries a women from town but the two have a very cold relationship. When Ike's wife urges him to move back to plantation, he lets her know very clearly that he belongs in the woods.
