Kickin' Back with a Pork Slap!

Our new favorite brand of beer - Pork Slap - brought a father/daughter duo some luck on their March hunt. (Note: Pork Slap is brewed by Butternuts Beer and Ale, New York)

Donna Waliky shows us her hog secret - if you look closely, you can see the little pink piggies doing double high fives on the can. She got this hog on the evening of March 6th.

Here are Donna and her father, Dick, with a hog taken on March 3rd.

We also had a corporate group here that night - Bolivia Lumber Company - that had some luck:

Rounding out the evening, Reed Garner got this coyote while hunting down along the river.

SOOOOEY....Oh, SOOOOEY!!

Hogs are usually pretty thick this time of year, beginning in February or so. They've been a bit scarcer than usual. Our trail cams and corn spots make it obvious that we still have plenty out there, but they've been a bit shy at hunting time.

Our hunters have still had a bit of luck - here are some shots of what they've gotten:

2006 Turkey Harvest

    This year's turkey season was our best one to date! We had fabulous spring weather and our hunters enjoyed an unparalled level of success. We also had more than a few near misses, which made for VERY entertaining stories around the campfire. Our 'turkey fever' is worse than ever!
