Hey Yall! 👋

Sorry for the lack of post and content from our Homestead. Over the past few months lots of big things have happened, Tyler went to Alaska to work for a guide service. Once he got back he opened Horse Swamp Hunting Preserve and has been busy at the kennel, guiding hunts, fixing our new house and working on the land to open the farm into a Hunting Preserve. He is also planning to open the kennel to boarding soon as well with big changes in the works! We also moved from Tyler’s Family Land in Maysville to my Family’s Land in Trenton and I started a Job at the Hospital!


Here’s Whats been Happening on the Homestead!

3 of our 4 Pigs went to harvest! All weighed around 350 pounds so everyone’s freezer is full.

We have harvested our second batch of chickens this past weekend!

We have bred 3 of 4 Tennessee Redbacks Rabbits does so far with one litter of 3 on the ground and 2 in the oven!

The 4th Pig was finally Named “Sausage”

We have temporarily stopped hatching quail or any chicks until demand is there and only incubating chicks by request!

Our Khaki Campbell Ducks are currently on egg strike!

Most importantly we have found the Greatest Feed Store in NC! Little Planes Farm

And we have some BIG NEWS coming soon that will help benefit everyone in our local homesteading community so stay tuned!

But if you haven’t already go check out our friends at Little Planes Farm for your animal feed needs!

As well as make sure you follow us you don’t want to miss what is to come!

Over the past week, numerous people have inquired about the habitat and cover we have here at Horse Swamp Hunting Preserve.

What sets us apart is our commitment to preserving real, natural quail habitat. This rare and authentic environment is a haven for wild bobwhites, a sight that's increasingly rare today. Since acquiring the majority of the preserve property in 2023, we've implemented a thoughtful management plan centered around quail conservation. Our efforts have paid off, as evidenced by the sighting of our first wild bobwhite quail this year. This milestone is a testament to the effectiveness of our habitat management strategies, which prioritize disturbance, diversity, and native species. We've implementated prescribed fire, mowing, thinning, tree selection, disking, and herbicide applications to create a thriving ecosystem. The result is a lush habitat teeming with grasses, forbs, and flowers, providing the perfect cover for bobwhites. Our food plots, brush piles, and tree lines offer a comprehensive network of resources and cover, while our predator control program ensures a balanced environment. As we move forward, we're excited to introduce new initiatives, including trapping and forestry mulching, to further enhance the preserve. Our goal is to create a haven where quail populations can flourish, and we're confident that our dedication and expertise will drive that positive change.
