OK, enough of poetry for a while. To those who enjoyed it, thanks for the kind words. For those who didn’t… oh well. It didn’t all come across quite like I’d hoped, but hey… it’s my blog and I’ll experiment if I want to.
Moving along to something completely different….
It’s generally not my practice to offer a review or commentary on a hunting operation that I haven’t personally visited, but the following isn’t so much a review as a statement of shock! I was browsing around for news in the Porcine Press, when I stumbled across a short article in the eNewsChannels website about a lodge in Southeastern Georgia that offers a little more than your average hog hunt.
Here’s the lead paragraph:
SWAINSBORO, Ga. — Imagine a getaway that provides sporting adventure and spa relaxation. Consider being in a rustic environment that is also luxurious. Delight in a place that caters to the need for fresh air as much as the desire for gourmet dining. These seeming opposites come together splendidly at Flat Creek Lodge in Southeast Georgia. Whether satisfying both the yin and the yang of individuals or pleasing couples with opposite tastes, this hunting and fishing resort and spa can easily delight the most avid sportsman and the most discerning gourmand.
Now this I had to see, so I bounced over to the Flat Creek Lodge website.
I was flummoxed (I think that’s the first time I’ve ever used that word… cool, ain’t it?), to say the least! Milk baths? Full spa and sauna? Elevated stands with swivel seats, and an outfitter store that will allow you and your millionaire guests come in with shorts and sandals and leave fully geared up for that big game hunting adventure!
Now don’t get me wrong. I’ve read about some pretty fancy hunting lodges. Texas boasts several pretty swanky setups. Bostic Plantation, where I hunted several years ago, has a high-end package that includes formal, fine dining, maid service, and other such niceties (I did NOT get the high-end package when I hunted there). Heck, T. Michael Riddle’s Native Hunt is right nice, and getting nicer with a luxuriant outdoor kitchen and bar, comfy bunkhouse, and private cabins for couples.
But the more I read the Flat Creek Lodge website, the more blown away I was. This is Robin Leach territory here. And through it all, the main thing on my mind was…
Do you think they’ll offer to let me come do a weekend hog hunt and spa treatment in exchange for a review on the HogBlog?

Call me old fashioned – but that just ain’t huntin’.
And by the way, I was very impressed with your use of the word flummoxed.
