Stuck!

We're trying like hell to get the ground dried out so we can get to disking and moving dirt but I guess it still may be a little wet!

Wetland Work

We are starting a big wetland project and have been mowing cattails so we can burn and disc them and get the place dried out and ready to move some dirt. The air quality gave me the green light to burn today so I went and lit it up! We got a good clean burn and will start disking tomorrow.

Regina's archery pig


A buddy of mine called and had a bunch of pigs working one of his grain fields and knows how Regina loves to bow hunt, so off we went. We got to the ranch early and spotted a couple pigs right off the bat that gave us the slip, so we sat and waited for more to come down. About an hour before dark a small herd made there way down towards the grain field and Regina was able to stalk into 40 yards and make a perfect shot! The pig went about 75 yards and tipped over in the creek, game over! She made a great stalk, great shot, and ended up with a perfect sized  meat pig!

CWA Vetrans pig hunt




 We were lucky enough to be asked to guide the very first veterans pig hunt for the CWA hunt program. We met at the Colusa Casino at 4:00 PM and made our way up to the ranch. It was pretty hot out and I figured the pigs would be headed for water. We worked the top end of the ranch and didn't see much but as we made our way into the lower brush country we ran into a group of pigs. They bolted and headed down the canyon and we watched as they went over the top. As soon as they were out of sight we took off after them. When we got to the top of the ridge we took off on foot and quickly found the group of pigs out feeding at 250 yards. We had time and they were working towards us so we waited. When the pigs got to 150 yards the guys let them have it! They each had hit a pig and we gave them a little time to expire and started tracking. We ended up finding one that night but had to come back in the morning for the other. It was a great hunt, and some great time with a couple guys who fought to serve our country.
