The event will be Saturday March 5th, at Sleepy Hollow state park. Event starts at 9am, bring a dish to pass and something for the raffle table!
-
I will be there with bells on, count on it.
-
Im in, Drew is there going to be a raffle?
-
Great news! I was hoping this would happen!
-
Perfect, I will be there also my son will be there. I have a beagle also.
-
Drew, PM me a mailing address for a raffle item.
-
Just a heads up all. I recently finished a rawhide backed osage RD bow. Its 56" long and pulls 50 @ 27. It will handle 28" MAX.
I'm going to hunt the day with it to add some character marks and maybe if I'm lucky, some mojo. After the hunt I will hand it over to the winner of the raffle for it.
Bring your cash. I'd hate to see it go for $75, matter of fact I might even fight it. So don't be cheap with the kids :)

You guys best bring $$, I've seen that bow in action...it's a great little rabbit bow, that is more than enough for deer!
-
We'll be having hotdogs and chili for lunch as usual, so just bring a dish to pass and some drinks.
The iron bunny will be set up to test your shooting skills - or is it, your arrow building skills? :archer2:

Hey Rick, see if you can get that Doug guy you hang out with to attend! Always good to catch up with family!
-
I'll let him know but Doug is a Yooper now, and in the process of building a new house up there!
-
Glad to hear it's on again this year!! I'll do some scrounging I'm sure I can come up with some arrows for all the kids...big one too. :clapper:
-
Is this for the benefit of St. Judes? I want to post this on Facebook to the MLA page but want to make sure I get it right.
-
yes Rick, everything goes to St. Jude's like normal...I haven't had a chance to make up a flyer yet with all the info- should have that soon.
-
Dang it! I just realized I'll be at Wild Things that weekend!
I will pass along the info however.
-
YEE-freakin-HA, been waiting for this!!! :bigsmyl:
-
Soooo, your excited then, Mike? :)
-
Yep, this is a good time, great shoot, good food and good people. Can't wait to hear the beagles howl.
-
The site for Sleepy Hollow says a recreation passport is required. Is that a day use thing where you can pay when you pull in? I'm thinking about tying to make it over that way, only a 2 hour drive...
-
Correct. I think it costs $11 for the day.
-
Thank you, sir. Hope I can swing it, sounds like a great time.

check your tab on your license plate, you may have purchased it already..if there are two "P"s (1 top and 1 bottom) on the tab before your plate number your all set.
-
I definitely plan to be there. It was bunnies 2; Ron 0 at Elm Hall. Hoping to correct that.
-
Lets get this back to the front page. I'm hoping to make it this year.
-
The Wilcox/Ashley clan plan to be there! Always a great time and cause! (http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b334/AnointedArcher/Bunny%20Hunts/grouppicsofbunnyhunt.jpg) (http://s22.photobucket.com/user/AnointedArcher/media/Bunny%20Hunts/grouppicsofbunnyhunt.jpg.html)
-
Wow Jeff! It's been a few years since that picture was taken.
-
Let's hope for some white stuff before then. Its dry around here now. Lots of warm air and rain the last week.
-
Actually Tim, that was one of my favorite stomps!
-
So glad it is back. Wish we could make it, we will be at an event that weekend working :(
-
We did a family hike at the park yesterday to enjoy the nice weather, and the boys kicked out two rabbits! They were fired up! :archer:
-
Stomp is this Saturday...looks like we'll have some snow and the weather will be good!
Can we get a count of how many are coming, please!
also if you guys can give me some help setting up tables and clearing the pavilion that would be great...since I'm recovering from a broken back.
-
Hello Drew, its me again. I'll try to make it if I don't have to work. It's not all that far of a drive. Ha Ha
-
I'll be there early to give you a hand

around 8ish
-
Bump for a good cause
-
:campfire: Hoping to make it over that way.
-
I'll be there. I have a lot going on the rest of this week and won't have time to fix a hot dish, but I plan on bringing a load of brownies. My wide brim hat to cover my hearing aids too, in case we get some rain with that snow.
-
Looks like I'm in. Will there be any warm up targets available? Besides the Iron Bunny. :archer2:
-
I can bring a bag target along if your scared of a little tin bunny :)
-
Haha most of my arrows are at camp, I'll have to scrounge up some "exploders".
-

plenty of stumps to warm up on. We stopped doing warm up targets as that many archers with all forms or blunts and judos is rough on any target.
-
Looks like Jacob, Andrew, Ron Peek and myself will be there
-
couple of targets, or bails of hay would be good just for hanging around and shooting.. myself and my two boys will be there early to help set up.. got a couple nice prizes for the raffle too!
-
I'll be there for awhile anyway :archer:
-
Good work Drew and the gang. Had a great time and ran a few bunnies around in circles, I believe our group launched 3 arrows. I didn't carry a bow, perhaps I should have. I was helping with the dogs and ended up stepping on a rabbit to make him run. Oh well, chili was great!
-
Glad I made the drive, had a good time even though the bunnies eluded me. Beautiful area.
Great job and a huge thanks for putting this together for the kids!

I'm looking forward to next year.
-
Great pics! Thanks for posting them and meeting you!
We raised $665.00!
-
Big thanks to every that helped, came, and donated...we over came quite a few bumps but still put on a great event and raised money for a great cause!
It was great to see every kid walk away with a prize, hang out with everyone and enjoy a nice day outside flinging arrows!
-
Bunny hunts are a great way to get together and have a good time. Often, even the bunnies have a good time. Good job raising that money for St Judes, a worthy cause.

Nice meeting you as well, one of the kids also kicked butt on the Iron Bunny. Myself, not so much...

Thanks every one, it was a good time for a good cause. Jeff, maybe next time you can photo shop the branch out of my face. ;)
-
Good event, thanks guys! I brought 3 "new to longbows" archers along and they loved it. One even missed a rabbit!
-
I had to leave early but I really enjoyed the time I had there. The Hot dogs and chili were excellent and the fire was warm. A big thanks to all the hard workers that made it happen :campfire:
-
Thanks for posting the pics Jeff. And we all did get through the brush, some of us breathing harder than others, and had a really great day. PETA will be happy to know that no rabbits were harmed in the making of the adventure :D Maybe we will do better next year?
