We are proud and excited to announce our collaboration with Brooks House of Bar-B-Q to introduce the Patriot Series sauces!
At its core, this partnership is about giving back to those who have given so much. The Patriot Series was created to support our local veteran agencies, which provide essential resources and care to the local heroes who have sacrificed for our freedoms. A portion of the proceeds from every bottle sold will be donated directly to these local veteran agencies, ensuring our very deserving veterans receive the continued support they’ve earned.
Crafted with the exceptional quality you expect from Brooks House of Bar-B-Q, the Patriot Series delivers an incredible flavor experience:
Every bottle purchased makes a direct impact in the lives of local veterans in our community. Head over to BrooksBBQ.com to pick up your bottle today, enjoy some incredible BBQ, and stand with those who served.

Press Release: Otsego County Wild Hogs, Inc. Launches to Support Veterans and First Responders
Otsego County Wild Hogs, Inc., a newly incorporated 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Milford, New York, proudly announces its official public launch. Founded to honor and give back to those who selflessly serve our communities and country, the organization provides fully funded, all-expenses-paid hunting and outdoor experiences for military veterans and first responders.
Otsego County Wild Hogs was established to offer deserving veterans and first responders a unique opportunity to unwind, build camaraderie, and experience the outdoors. The organization’s flagship initiative coordinates annual group hunting excursions—including specialized feral hog management trips to Estill, South Carolina—covering all travel, lodging, equipment, and related expenses for participants.
“Our mission is simple: to provide a well-deserved break and a supportive community for the men and women who have borne the burden of service,” said Brian Pokorny, President of Otsego County Wild Hogs, Inc. “Whether they are military veterans who served overseas or local first responders protecting our neighborhoods day in and day out, this organization is dedicated to giving them an unforgettable outdoor experience at absolutely no cost to them.”
As a newly recognized tax-exempt public charity, Otsego County Wild Hogs relies heavily on the generosity of corporate sponsors, local businesses, and community donors. The organization works closely with outdoor equipment manufacturers, optics companies, and regional supporters to secure the gear and funding necessary to sustain its mission.
To kick off its community outreach, the organization is hosting “The Chilidipper” Charity Benefit Golf Tournament on September 26, 2026, at the Otsego Golf Club. The event features a two-person scramble format, friendly competition flights, and various on-course contests, with all proceeds directly supporting upcoming veteran and first responder outdoor trips.
Community members, local businesses, and potential volunteers interested in supporting Otsego County Wild Hogs, Inc.—whether through sponsorships, donations, or participating in upcoming events like The Chilidipper—are encouraged to reach out directly. Brian@OtsegoCountyWildHogs.com or 607-441-0061
