Holyoke hunters on winning One Box Pheasant Hunt team
Holyoke’s Allen Strong was captain of the first-place new team, Cattlemen’s Brawlers, in this year’s Nebraska One Box Pheasant Hunt in Broken Bow, Nebraska, earlier this month. Also on the team were Holyoke’s Rudy Haynes, as well as Kent Leibhart, Casey Williams and Todd Fenton of Broken Bow.
