2007 Pork Slam at Sunrize Acres - Eric Saperstein & Ted Nugent w/ Wild Boar Front Photo

We have a few pending hunts on the horizon, and sooner or later we're bound to get a good size boar - and the plan will be to host a wild boar roast!

The boar opportunities came a year later in 2007 - above left Eric poses with Ted Nugent over a presidential boar. Below are the 300lb+ wild pig.

Eric Saperstein - Back in the Long Haired Days

Shown left - Eric - a few years back, before the establishment bought him out in college. (Yes, the long hair is real ... and Stanley maintains the trophy pony tail on the family mantle!)

Also a chef, Eric owns and, when time is available operates, Artisans On-Site catering. Most often available to friends and family, some very unique buffets are planned and presented. The Saperstein's usually have an annual pig roast, and Eric often cooks for various hunting club events.

Shown below left is a 75lb pig pinned to a 60lb ship bottom roast. Spinning on a custom built rotisserie powered by a hay bailer motor driving an old truck tire to slowly turn and self baste these beasts for over 12 hours. There are two such contraptions at Eric's hunting club, Clover Rod & Gun.

Eric's decision to start welding one day resulted in another such contraption. This portable pig roaster features a dual fuel heat source allowing a custom made propane pipe burner or coals to provide the flames.
