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.

As bow season opens, I just wanted to remind everyone I have a dog itching to get on a blood trail. I have tracked multiple deer offer the past few years with my dogs and trained tracking dogs for clients as well. I am willing to go above and beyond to try and find your kill. Nothing sucks more than waiting for the buzzards to find your trophy. I do charge a fee for any track no matter if we find the deer or not for mine and my dogs time. Tips are definitely appreciated as well. I am located in Trenton and Jacksonville NC willing to track in Onslow, Jones, Duplin, Pender, Carteret, Craven & Lenior Counties. Fee is $100 minimum as well as an additional fee for travel based on mileage! Thank You! Looking forward to saving some trophy’s from the coyotes this year!

Conservation management is a vital component of our operations at Horse Swamp Kennels. Our mission is to create habitat and establish a healthy, huntable population of wild bobwhite quail on our property, while also managing for ducks, large game, and numerous small game animals. Prescribed fire is a best practice for managing our land, timber, soil, wildlife, and their environment. We recently implemented a 3.5-acre burn on our property in late February, and here are some clips recapping a successful weekend of burning and habitat management.
