  • Inaugural SLR Rifle Deer Hunt 2007
    11/16/07

My bother-in-law, Jay Podorsky, and father, Jean Dugas, both of Prairieville, Louisiana, joined me for what turned out to be a very successful deer hunt at Swanson Lake Ranch.  The bayou hunters arrived Thursday afternoon, in time to get into the stands before the evening hunt.  I hunted with my father, on the west side of the property, while Jay hunted the east.  It was a calm and quiet Nebraska evening, but things got busy in a hurry.  Read More... 

  • Horseshoe Pond gets a New Look
    10/4/07

7-acre Horseshoe Pond is home to a new fishing & canoe dock.  On Thursday, SLR completed installation of a covered, 20'x18' EZ-Dock which will provide a convenient launch for small boats & canoes and a relaxing and shaded place for summer picnics and shore-side fishing.  Installation went well thanks to the Team from EZ-Dock, Eric and Todd.  For more on EZ-Dock, contact Todd Stone at tpstone2002@yahoo.com.

 

 

  • Inaugural Dove Shoot
    9/10/07

Jean Dugas, visiting from muggy Louisiana, joined his son Mike for a first crack at SLR's dove shooting opportunity.  The scouting report prior to the trip was very encouraging but the guys were not able to get out opening weekend, as planned.  In fact, they did not make it out to SLR until a week after opening day, when average temperatures had already declined almost 30 degrees from the summer peaks.  Still, they were not disappointed.  While the doves most certainly had begun to move south, Mike and Jean bagged 25 birds and had opportunities on more than 40 (please, no calculation of shooting percentages!).  Best opportunities for shooting were found near the tree line just north of the western ponds, as well as the CRP field on the eastern border.  A reward of Cajun-style dove stew was enough to convince Mike he will gun for opening day next year.  No excuses.

  • Spring Turkey a Success
    4/16/07

Trevon Stoltzfus, Andy Thomas, and Kevin Groeneweg joined Mike & Adam for Spring Turkey archery and shotgun at SLR - and the ranch's inaugural hunts were a huge success.  All birds taken were large jakes, as the big, elusive toms were just out of shooting range, but the experience was spectacular, with birds and action in all directions.  Mike wrote of his (first turkey and first archery) experience:  Read More...
