It's Official...By David Rearick After not hunting Mike's private marsh one day last year or this year, Mike Bard and myself decided to give it a go for the last 40 minutes of LST on a warm Saturday in November. After shooting a fat greenhead and the first duck ever taken on Mike's marsh after he purachsed it, things were looking good to potentially add a few more as the sun dropped closer to the horizon. With only minutes left, Mike was able to bag a nice drake himself, and this one was sporting some bling, and Game Hogg bling at that. Congrats Mike on the band and the first ducks from your marsh, I am sure in the future their will be more to come!

All Things Considered, May 26, 2008 · The number of lesser scaup ducks is dwindling, and it could be an invasive species that does them in. Invasive snails and parasites are attacking these and other ducks on the Upper Mississippi. A Future Game Hogg Enters the Mix..By David Rearick While this news is a little dated, Game Hogg David Rearick (AKA Hollywood) and his wife Melissa brought their new son Colton Cook Rearick (or Colt for short) into the world on March 18th of this year. He was born a healthy baby and weighed in 8lb's 4 oz and meausured 20.5" head to toe. He is coming up on three months and is growing quickly, nearly doubling his weight! He even took time out of his day for a few pictures. We hope he and the other Jr. Hoggs carry the tradition forward for years to come. 
Sausage Fest 08'..By David Rearick
April 2008 After a long and successful season most waterfowlers are left with alot of meat in their freezer. There is no better to clean up the leftovers all the while making something that even a Vegan could love- SAUSAGE- and lots of it varying in flavor from Maple, to Italian, to Cajun and Beyond!!! After all the meat was mixed, stuffed, cut, and wrapped 309 pounds of your favorite red meat was ready to be taken home by the participants. Thansk go out to Murphy for putting this together as he and Kim hosted the evnt at thier home for the second year running. To Make Sausage, you need MEAT!!!
