Organizing this hunt from a new location is a good idea. Lots of parking room and we won't have to dodge aircraft! I also like the idea of having Saturday Dinner provided by an outside company. All this gives Shawn and his family a break from having their house trashed and septic system overloaded... :eek: ... Good Thinking Shawn!
* This hunt has become a special part of my life. Yes it has. I'll be on an extended weekend during this shin-dig. It's the only time (other than The Muzzy Shoot) that I'll see and be with most of these great people. Not to forget the $$$ we put together for St. Jude in honor and memory of Shawns mom.

Think I'm gonna bring ONE BOW with me this year. Almost too easy... :rolleyes: ... Have a cool RER Vortex longbow with a recurve grip. Got it in trade right here on Trad Gang. She's 56", 53# @ 28" that's 47# at my 26" draw. Quiet as a mouse and loves 2016's with 175gr Ace Hex Heads up front.
Now... I know some guys and gals would like to try out some bows before making a purchase. I'll list what I have below. Ask me to bring one to the hunt and I will... For a fellow Trad Ganger to try out that is. :)
64" Kohannah Flatbow 51# @ 27"
60" Black Widow TFV 51# @ 26"
60" Black Widow TFV 48# @ 26"
60" Mojostik Recurve 50# @ 28"
60" Hummingbird Longbow 50# @ 27"
58" Spirit Recurve 53# @ 27"
58" Super Shrew Gold 55# @ 28"
58" Kohannah Recurve 54# @ 28"
58" '67 Grizzly 50# @ 28"
* Say Again... Ask me and I will bring the one you would like to shoot along. Understand, NOT to destroy in the thorn brush :eek: but to try out in the meeting area.

I prefer the regular blunts, as they are cheap, go through the brush with less hang ups, and hit pretty hard.
In past years, people have come up with some down right wicked heads with stuff from the local hardware store and blunts or field points.
They all are fun to fling at em.

I remember the single file line of hunters, and dragging little joe through the drifts because he just couldnt get through. What memories! OOOOOOHHHHH YYYYYYEEEEAAAHHHHH!! I cant wait!

Razorback, I typically try to be there by 8, and Im always greeted by a bunch of guys...
That is followed by a bunch of shooting, the steel bunny, and the kids hunt. Then the hunt begins, and lasts til dark, and we usually try to do dinner and the raffle. I would imagine you may be back on the road by 9:30 or 10:00, if you stayed for all of it.

I'll most likely only run Sonny for 1 day,he hurt himself last Sun somehow and I had to leave him home from an afternoon bunny hunt.He's getting better already and I,m not sure exactly what he did he was fin Sat and I had him outside Sun morning than all of a sudden he was in obvius pain maybe thru his back out he's done that before a few yrs ago horsing around with the nieghbor beagle.He'll most likely not run this weekend either which he won't like LOL he was pissed at me last Sun for leaving him and felt well enuff to open the cupboard and get into the garbage which he does when I leave without him/My wife says he's vindictive when I leave him but he's fine when I,m there.

Dave, I see you mentioned something about targets. I spoke to Shawn the day of the warm-up and told him that I would bring 12-15 bales of hay for backstops on Sat AM. Just thought I would let you know. I have local farmer who donated them.That will help keep the plywood from eating my tips :bigsmyl: Gotta love farmers :thumbsup:

Gonna bring the Ace Hex Head arrow that got me a rabbit last year to the office and put it on top of my PC.... Then scream: "Jamie! Don't Jump!"

It takes me about 17 hours to get to Wausau. It all depends on Chicago, if I get through during non-rush I can make it in 16. I've made it in one push, it was convenient when my buddy lived 1/3 way but now he's back in WI. From where you are at it's about 13-14 hours.
You are more than welcome to stay at my place if you can swing it, Bring your son or a buddy and the drive will be quicker. That way we can swap WI hunting stories then at the hunt you can learn about NE hunting.
Charlie
PS, I can bring a couple packages of plates, Not sure how many in a package but I'll bring some heavier ones that don't fall apart with Curt's pulled swine!

As a parent of a child with a disablilty I feel for the families of these children and hope that my contribution (as trivial as it may seam in the grand scheme of things)helps even a little. :pray: :pray:
I look forward to seeing you all and getting to know you better again this year. See you all friday evening as long as all goes as planned.
Oh and David I'll add some snacks to the apple/orange juice I already promised.

A couple of months ago I converted the two Team Pink fuzzy hats into underware. Mike and Scott have been wearing them during Winter Bow in NJ. :eek: Think we can raffle them off for some big bucks! Bet they still have deer pellets in 'um. :p
Next thing I'm bringing for the raffle is a picture of "The Last Time Wood Only Went Any Where Or Did Any Thing". Joe Skipp will buy lots of tickets for that one! (kinda inside joke)
The last thing I'll bring is myself... Full of love for Shawn and you bunch of bunny killers! People that have never been to this shin-dig don't know what they are missing! This hunt and The Muzzy Shoot are what my calendar is built around. Glad to be a SMALL part of it! ;)

I am not sure what time to get their, do we hunt until dark and then the raffle. I have a little drive ahead of me and not sure when the event winds down and maybe I should make plans to stay over.

* Most of the adults should wear a game vest to carry their own bunnies. Most of the time I get stuck with two or three rabbits in mine :eek: and need oxygen before too long.
* If ya have a pair of pruners maybe you should bring them along. They will be worth their weight in gold when getting an arrow, bunny, or yourself for that matter out of a wild rose tangle.
This is gonna be sooooooo much fun! Makes me feel like a kid again. Wish we could do it more than once a year....... Guess that just makes it better.

They might not give enough protection in let's say, crucial areas. I have never been to Shawn's but I have hunted a lot of multiflora rose. You are REALLY going to want full brush pants.
I have an extra pair in 34/30 that I can bring if someone needs them.

Carhart bibs and jacket good enough?
We allowed to collect said briars for arrow making if we want?
Do the little ones need the briar protection, or are they fairly safe as standers?
Can this really be as good as you "old timers" make it out to be, and will my therapist believe it?
Post by: ishiwannabe on January 23, 2010, 10:14:00 AM
The little ones arent required to go through the nasty stuff....that being said, I have seen my share of them "get the fever" and dive right in. I even saw a few get tossed in...lol.
Is this hunt as good as we make it sound? Nope....it is way better.

I just have to say how much my family and I can appreciate what your doing for St Judes. A girl in our neighborhood is the same age and in my son Joshs class, has a terminal brain tumor. she is 9 years old. St Judes has been working with the family and have made visits to my sons class room to talk to the kids about cancer and basically counciling the kids through the whole thing. Each child in my sons class received a teddy bear with a small medal on it that said "for the love of gabby". on friday, a rememberance, she is still here, but who knows.
Ill be there, if the bar b q was $50.00 a head.
Thanks for all you do, and I hope the bunny hunt lives on for many years to come.

If needed I will donate snow. I'll put it in my cooler and bring it down the day of the hunt :thumbsup:
I could do without all the rain tonight and probably the flooding. Then again I'll take what I can get these days.
One minute afield is better than a day at the office.

Just a few "Safety Reminders".....
#1) WEAR SOMETHING BRIGHT!!!!!!!!!!
Blaze Orange,Chartruse,"PINK"..... There are alot of people flinging arrows in all directions. With 20-30 "pushers" and 20-30 "standers" there are people EVERYWHERE!!!!! Many times while pushing over the years,the brush was so THICK that I couldn't see the guys on either side of me,and they were only 20-30 feet away!!!!! A good smallgame vest with Blaze Orange is a great idea,and it helps carry the bunnys you will hopefully shoot!!!!!
#2) SAFETY GLASSES!!!!!
The Briars and Thorns that you will encounter are NASTY!!!!! Unlike anything you have ever seen!!!!! To Quote Shawn..."If your pushin',and you ain't bleedin',YOUR NOT DOIN' YOUR JOB!!!" I've personaly seen Shawn lay down his bow,cover his face with his arms and do a running "belly-flop" into a multiflora thicket!!!!! We are all there to have fun,but I'll never forget the chilling feeling when I heard Curt holler "Hey Shawn!!! I just got stuck in the eye!!!!!" People hollered back and forth if he was OK and then Curt said "somebody's gonna have to come get me,my eyes all full of blood and I can't see".When it was all over,all it was,was a very NASTY scratch to his eye lid. He was VERY LUCKY!!!
#3) ARROW POINTS!!!!!
Shawn has a simple rule..... NO BLADES!!! However,over the years I have seen some NASTY LOOKING "bunny killers" that guys have made up!!!!! It is after all,"All about killin' the bunnys"..... But,over the years I have seen arrows do some CRAZY things while rattleing through the brush and bouncing off trees. There are lots of people around,and many times the dogs are hot on the bunny's tail. This is a VERY safe and well organized hunt,but should an accident happen,it would be great relief if damage was kept to a minimum. Over the years,all I have used is a plain old steel blunt. If I hit and loose a bunny,then so be it. As much as I hate them,the coyotes have to eat too.(maybe they'll leave the deer alone for a while) Whatever your bringing,take a GOOD look at it as ask yourself "would I want to get shot in the behind with that???"
#4) LEATHER GLOVES!!!!!
As I said before,this brush is NASTY!!!!! Good heavy smooth leather gloves will go a long way at protecting your hands,and they make pretty fair shooting gloves too!!! I don't even wear a shooting glove or a tab when I'm at the bunny hunt. I do all of my shooting and practiceing with the leather work gloves that I'll be wearing hunting. I usually bring up a few packages of gloves to hand out to those who don't have them,but if you have a pair around the house please bring them. I have one package right now,and I'll try and get a couple more but I can't guarenty I'll have enough for everyone.
Just a few "helpful hints" from a veteran,I would never one to "tell" anyone what to do.....
See ya at the "Bunny Hunt"!!!!!!!!!!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Due to my work schedule and work load, making this years hunt again will be impossible. IBM laid off a few guys in our area and us night folks have to pick up the work load until the end of Feb and possibly into March...OT is for the younger guys!
For the raffle, I will be sending Shawn a $75 Gift Certificate to my shop. I know Team Pink will be represented with Bamboo, Scott, Dave K and Mikey C...will look forward to the photos and "Rabbit Hero Pics"....Keep The Faith........

Because the ground is so frozen the arrow skipped off the grass like it was concrete and was airborne in a high arc for over 100 feet hitting my front fence. :eek: Talk about how much can go through your mind in a flash. Five minutes later I get a delivery from the Postal Service.
Imagine the headlines... "Bunny Hunter Shoots Letter Carrier Delivering Longbow With Arrow." OMG :scared: Needless to say, I'm a little (gun) shy now.......

I have a pair of slightly used, (one weekend), brush pants, waist size is 32", inseam of 30". If you know me you know they aren't close to fitting me.......they were Hunters but are now too small. If anyone can use them at the hunt let me know and they are yours......

How many arrows would you folks recommend bringing for the hunt. I hear lots of stories about lost/dropped arrows and don't want to be short when the time comes for that all important shot. I also don't want to lug too much stuff with me either.
Post by: ishiwannabe on February 03, 2010, 10:01:00 AM
Last year as I was pushing the Island of Trees, I had a bunny run right towards me, passed between my legs and continued on behind me. I turned, verified there was no one behind me and shot, missing of course. I looked at the roses, shrugged, and kept on walking. But thats just me. Sometimes, the shrubs and thorns arent worth exploring for a less than perfect arrow... :goldtooth:

....................................
I just want to slip in here that I received my package (last weeks Karma offer) from Mike Clark (GAstumpshooter) today. All of the items were in perfect shape and it included BOTH bags of nocks, extra inserts and points, and something else. I must say it was a very nice package.
Oh, the "something else" was a DVD of the 2009 Joan Leonard Memorial Bunny Hunt. I have been reading about this annual event every year on Tradgang for as long as I can remember - and that's about as long as I've been here, as I recall. Not only is it always a great pre and post thread but all the monies raised from their on site auction goes towards the TG St. Judes Annual auction (to the best of my knowledge). I have had both cyber and real time friends attend the hunt (such as Swampbuck and Killdeer, just to mention a couple), and Swampbuck has even "taken me with him" a couple of times (in the form of a hunt arrow with my name on it that he carries to shoots/hunts). Needless to say I was tickled to recive this additional item (the DVD) and will enjoy it the more, each time I view it.
Thank you so much, Mike.
...........................................
Good luck to all on the Bunny Hunt and all it involves. :thumbsup:
Post by: woodchucker on February 04, 2010, 08:31:00 PM
Sure would be nice if you could make it up sometime Bernie!!!!!
I too will be taking you hunting with me at this years Bunny Hunt. I have a choker that you made,Killy ended up with it,She sent it to Kenny(adkmountainken),and he gave it to me.....
I wear it often when hunting My Friend,It's got alot of Good spirit behind it!!!!! Heck,I might even manage to kill a Bunny this year while I'm wearing it!!!!! :archer:

Forgive the slight deviation but perhaps you can take Sloopy along on the bunny hunt (in your minds) also - she probably would enjoy the St. Jude Auction too, she loves happy folks - :biglaugh: .

If anyone is interested in a hunt here at my place, just pm me and we can try to get it done before the season ends. I can almost gurantee a shot or three.
Otherwise, Im counting the days....

Going out Stump shooting in about 30 minutes to hone my skills.
If anyone wants to get together tomorrow let me know. I have good stump shooting land to go on but not great small game hunting property.
The El Grande hunt is fast approaching, I'm feeling the nerves in my tummy. Maybe its too much coffee but I like to think Its excitement so I'll leave it at that.

Jamie, I'd love a warm up but as you already know, I haven't been married long enough to take Valentines day off. I saw a deer on Sunday stump shooting. Just stood there for me like it knew it wasn't season anymore. I managed to break a few nocks off and lose 2 blunts. I was shooting terrible just couldn't concentrate on anything.
These bunnies better run past me if they want a chance!!!

Chuck now your talking!!!(Dancin) I know that Greyhound has canceled all services to and from NYC and will only travel as far as Utica. The train (Amtrak) wants to cancel but isn't 100% yet and will know come Morning. Long Island railroad has canceled all trains according to one of our marketers from Long island and NYC courts have already closed. All schools are closed.

Looking forward to meeting a fellow wisconsinite. Even though I am a new yorker, I grew up in WI.
Last time I was in your neck of the woods I was smelting in a huge blizzard. Didn't catch more than a 5 gal bucket all night but I caught and released 2 huge lawyer fish and my biggest ever walleye.
My Dad lives in Wausau and is a new member here. Look him up and say Hi!
He drew a bear tag this year and I think he is going near Ashland with his new Big River Longbow.
Perhaps you 2 can car pool at the next years JLMBH.

So far Monday is looking good. I need anyone who is coming to PM me so I know roughly how many so I can plan accordingly. Meet time still up in the air, so Im wanting suggestions for those of you who are working and such.

The raffle usually is done by Shawn and family. They usually pick an item, then draw a ticket for that item. The items are usually mind blowing.
Mikey, I hope I get to see you in action again this year my friend. One of the many highlights from last year was retrieving your bunny.

Im gonna have to cancel the Monday hunt I was going to host...too many other irons in the fire at the moment, and it appears I may have to go to a meeting about my dad at the VA. Sorry to those that were planning on attending. I guess we will just have to wait a week for the real thing.
Shawn, sounds like a good idea to me. This way, the main cost gets dealt with, and Im sure most of us cant eat a whole half chicken anyway. Besides, I havent been to any of these hunts and walked away hungry...
Hope for snow. If not, atleast for cold.

It was a heck of a tussle for that camera I'll tell ya,he was about 18 and he's as big as you are!!!!! But Old Dad is the king of "cheap shots" LOL!!! A couple good "charlie horses" and a combination arm-bar wristlock,and that picture was never to be seen by human eyes!!!!! A serious "Indian Snow Dance" is "big medicine" and not to be "exploited" for "extortion purposes" LOL!!!!!

Terry you cant call that 30 yard shot at the warm up luck. Say what you want about luck but I'll always think you're a good shot.
Chuck you can stop dancing now! Thank you for the snow but since I'm in the transportation business and two of my cars were struck today by idiot drivers. Both people actually stated that they didn't know they could slide with the 4 wheel drive on :knothead: :knothead: I think we have enough to tie us over.

Glad for the good news about your dad, and I wanted to make sure that Swampbuck made it there all right. It was great to meet him and I look forward to meeting all of you next year, wait until you see what I come up with for next years hunt. Good luck to all, Joe

After a lot of soul searching, deep conversations with my mom and wife, we all decided I should attend. I will do my best to be there Saturday atleaast. My wife is still making the chowder and dessert too David.
Hard to explain all of the reasons why we came to this decision, besides the absolute great time it has always been, but I think I will just say that my Dad would have wanted it that way. He was a "trad guy" at heart and always loved helping kids.
I will see you all Saturday.

Now I know the real reason why I need to be with all of you this weekend. Is it the raffle? No. Is it the bunnies? Maybe. Is it being away from the city? Kinda. The bottom line is... It's The People That Will Surround Me The Next Few Days That Motivate My Trek Outa Da Bronx. Yes! It's All Of You!
Take into consideration the roller coaster we've been on the past couple days. I see nothing but strength, high moral character and love in all of you! Jamie, Shawn, Damon, it will be great to hug you... See You All Soon!

Since I've been going we've never been checked but I'd say display 'em. There's a large crowd of guys walking around w/ archery gear & it's definitely attracts attention.

First time at teh JLMBH (saturday) and had a great time. Got some shots off at the bunnies, even took a swing with an unloaded bow at one, saw some fun stuff, bled a little and met a bunch of real good people.

I didn't know your Mom, but she must have been a special lady !! I can't thank you enough for everything, including the bowfishing outfit.....I CANNOT WAIT to try it out in the reservoirs of Dutchess County.....the food was amazing too......especially the Gator and Rice dish...I had my eye on that one immediately, right Ron ? (LOL) And while I'm at it, let me piggyback on the thanks to the ladies of the house.....Thank You for puttin up with all of us dudes !!
Thanks Again to Shawn and Cindy !!

I'm not sure if we made her a hunter for life, but I'm pretty sure I'll have a hunting buddy for the next few years. I'd like to thank a few specific folks who really made the weekend end go for her.
First of all I'd like to thank Shawn for putting on the event and taking Alei on her taking her on the first push this morning.
(http://i764.photobucket.com/albums/xx290/hobartm76/IMG_1875.jpg)
Next a big thanks to Big Ed and Swampbuck for fixing her bow string in about 3 seconds before the youth hunt started on Saturday morning.
(http://i764.photobucket.com/albums/xx290/hobartm76/IMG_1869.jpg)
And a HUGE thanks to Pete for giving up a very special raffle ticket to make a very happy little girl.
(http://i764.photobucket.com/albums/xx290/hobartm76/IMG_1871.jpg).
Thanks to Vermonster to for giving Boo a new quiver, I didn't manage to get a opic of them together.
I know I didn't get everyone that spent time with her. So thanks to anyone who walked with her on the hunts or answered her (and my) questions.
Michael
Also a huge thanks to the ladies for keeping an eye on Alei Saturday afternoon.

Shawn Cindy & family, I have nothing but love for all of you for all the effort over the years, good times and memories that will last forever.

Larry, Greg & Jesse
Post by: ishiwannabe on February 21, 2010, 09:05:00 PM
A very special weekend to me, for so many reasons. It is hard to put into words, but I will try as the stories come out.
It was a tough decision to attend this year. One I made with my family. One that I thought my father would have wanted. I almost turned around on the way up Saturday, but pulled over, got it together, and kept on keeping on. Im so glad I did.
Everyone was so caring, and I heard so many heartfelt words of wisdom and strength...not to mention the events that transpired.
I was right where I needed to be this weekend, and I thank you all for the support, laughs, and genuine character that I saw in all of you.
I sit back and think about it...and I tear up. :D
I come away from this weekend in awe of my friends(family) I have here. And then I smile, and I hope I did something to spark the interest in one of the kids. Im pretty sure I got atleast one of them a lifetime memory... :goldtooth:
Shawn, Cindy and family, you guys are very special to do what you have done. Thank you.

On another note- I just got done getting the last thorns out of my ear. Otherwise all is well. Thanks again everyone!

It was pleasure to meet so many of the fine TG family and put faces to handles. I wish I could remember 1/2 your names but be patient with me.
Shawn, Cindy and everyone else I do mean everyone! THANK YOU!!!!
I didn't get many shots but the camaraderie was out of this world. It'll take a bulldozer to scrape the satisfaction off of me.
Vermonster, seeing the kids faces when you handed them the quiver made me feel butterflies in my stomach. I loved it.
the JLMBH will live on even if only in memories and spirit.
Thank you

Shawn,
My friend, you are a constant reminder of what is good in this world. The generosity and thoughtfulness you've shown are second to none. Brother, I'm glad to know you and call you friend. It's one of the things I'm proudest of, and even though I never met her, you do your mother proud bud.
Cindy,
You open up your home to all of us. You feed us. You put up with us. If anyone is this world is as great as your husband, it's definately you.
Jamie,
Anytime, anywhere; if you need it, I'm here. I can honestly say I was ecstatic when you got the JLMBH bow, and prouder than heck to launch an arrow for your father. In my book, you're one of those folks that just define the hunt in every way.
To all my other TradGang brothers, I'm at my happiest for two days out of the year, and it's never been because I've filled the pot. It's seeing each and every one of you. I'll see you all again...can't wait till then...

The donations were amazing! Better than any game dinner that I've ever attended. In all my years of hunting and shooting a bow, this was my first "social" event, and I' so glad that I went. I really found out what I was missing. Thanks to all, and again, thanks to the Leonard family for every thing.

Ziggy has slept almost non-stop since yesterday afternoon and I'll be pulling briars out of him for weeks! Swampbuck...thanks for showing us the ropes man. It was good hanging out with you and Sonny. Give him a scratch for me.
I ended up getting at least six shots, which is more than I expected. What a blast! You guys are a great group of people and I hope I get to see many of you again whether it's at Shawn's, The Muzzy, Denton or wherever.

Really enjoyed meeting some new folks and getting reaquainted with the others. Ron W. and Charlie, enjoyed sharing a table with you.
Shawn, you da man and as they say behind every good man is a better woman. Couldn't be truer! Cindy, you're a Saint for doing what you do! So what better benefactor than St. Jude!
Thanks everyone!

Tim with his impromptu bandaging of Big Ed's cut up face, he did a bang up job!!!
And Jen, I hate to say it, you might have missed one of the best backwards belly flops(????) you've ever seen.......and it only hurt a little....
Glad they fit him Terry, least I could do.....
I'm not quite ready to put into words what Shawn, Cindy and and their family have done over the last six years........it will come.

Jamie: You Are My Hero! I'll be talkin' to ya soon.
Tim: Great meeting you. If you are ever going to pass through The Bronx... Don't! :p
Big Ed: You have a warm heart. It was a pleasure puttin' a bandade on your bo-bo. ;)
David, Jeff, Tucker: Muzzy can't come quick enough.

Glad Jennifer liked the quiver she won in the raffle. I spoke to her on the way out and told her that it was a goodwill quiver. I like putting new life into old stuff and if she can carry it for a few years and it helps, in a small way, to bring a kid into Trad then I am very happy. I have 2 girls of my own and I think one may become a hunter. I pplan on using Jennifer as an example for her.

It was my dads first time to hunt and at the very end of the 7 hour hike back to Butler, PA my dad turned to me and said "It's good to know there are guys out there like us". i tell ya that's one of the greatest reason we made the trip.
It's a great pleasure hunting with all of you and i know like me you wish these scars on your hands and face would take a little longer to heal.

David,Guru,Tom,Damon,Jamie,BigEd,Terry,Izzy and anyone I missed- your extra effort in helping out the Leonard family is duly noted and appreciated by all in attendance.
St. Judes,depends in small and large part, on folks like those who attended and those who supported but were not there. The JLMBH is an example of everthing that is good with humanity!
Top of the list in my bowhunting adventures.-Bill

Thank you Shawn and Cindy and everyone else who put in so much time and effort to make this happen. You all went above and beyond once again.
It was great to see everyone again and see some new faces as well. My buddy Randy had a great time and just couldn't get over how giving everyone was, I'm glad he got to experience this weekend.
There were some very special and moving moments this weekend, I know I wasn't the only one who got choked up more than once and when something hits you that hard emotionally you know it was special.

I have been thinking about all of the people I wanted to thank...
I would try to list them, but in the fog I was in, Im sure I would forget to write down a name or ten...seems like the whole weekend all of you were helping me out. The conversations, the arrow send off.
I will say a big THANKS to Curt. My bunny acted as if he was getting ready to run away(to me anyway) and I did not want that as it wasa VERY SPECIAL rabbit, so I asked Curt to grab him. He didnt hesitate. Thanks man.
To the rest of you all, thank you. It was tough at times, and at other times it was easy. I felt like I was with family, and I kept thinking about how my Dad would have loved every minute of it. :campfire:
OK, Im trying to get all the mushy stuff out so I can start telling stories of the hunt. :D

More fine people that give instead of take and more to life worthy of me focusing my attention.
As your event lives on inside of me, I'm reminded of all the true things in life that make it worth living.
Shawn If I help you clean up this weekend can we do a post hunt warm up? Perhaps it should be a cool down hunt :biglaugh:
No Really Shawn I can come help clean anything this weekend if you need.

Friday night was just awesome for Cade and I...we weren't there for 10 minutes and still saying our hello's when Big Ed walked in with a brand new, made by "Big Ed" longbow for Cade! An absolute 48", rocket launching beauty!!!
Then Big Ed says he brought something for me as well...and in walked Tim Golder!
I've been inviting Tim and his boy up for years, but they could never make it. This year I didn't send an invite with everything going on....and he showed up with Ed...how cool!
The next morning things got started a little slow.....
Cade shooting his brand spankin' new "Big Ed" longbow at the steel bunny....

The "Kid's hunt" participants...down a little from last year....

Right before the kids hunt started, Cade was having a bit of a reaction to all the dogs we was playing with in the house. So I gave him some Benadryl to stop it.
The kids hunt started quick for him, he had a quick shot right off the bat! I think "Pop"(Dick) Langer might have even captured it on video!
The next push as he waited with Damon(nomad88), Shawn and I pushed another bunny at him again that he got a shot off at as well as many of the others...very cool again!
Damon and Cade after the shot....as you can see the Benadryl is starting to take effect...

My boy....check out the new bow! Quilted Maple back veneers, and Red cedar on the belly...

My hero from the hunt was a little huntress that had a Robin Hood hat ! She kept up and never complaned at all ! Even when she got wrapped up in some rose bushes and we cut her out .
David there definitely was some greater power in the air ! Afer speaking with Jamie on Sunday it was confirmed.
On another note when we got back to the trucks after the greenhouse push Pete had a message on his cell phone. His father in law passed while we were pushing the greenhouse. My prayers are with him and Jamie.

While I was not there I appreciate you letting me be a part of the last "JLMBH", many thanks goes out to the Leonard Family and all who participated, the money raised and the good times made can not be adequately tallied, the kids thank you!!
My heart goes out to those who have received the worst of news but pressed on, my thoughts are with you and your families, Jamie and Pete. All the best to all of you, Joe Flikkema

Thanks for the memories and the good times. I'll never forget the feeling of watching my arrow hit it's mark on my first bunny ever. Makes me sad I wont be able to do it again next year but then again it makes it that much more meaningful. Gonna have to find some bunnies down here in Jersey.
Jamie, your a trooper for sure and I'm glad you made it out to the hunt. I think it helped us all a little to see you push on and enjoy the finer things in life that your dad taught you. The arrow send off hit home for alot of us just being a part of it with you. It's only fitting that you ended up with the JLMBH bow. Enjoy it and all the memories that go with it. Thank you again for the string certificate I sure do need a new one.
Terry, those gator bites were incredible. I think I got the last 2 or 3 in the pot but man were they good.
Curt, watching Cade and the other kids having such a good time is what it's all about and makes me want to spend more time out in the field with my sons. He's a good kid for sure and an excellent shot too.
Big Ed, you're an amazing soul aswell watching you give away your prizes to the kids was very cool. It goes to show there truely are some kind people left in this world. That bow you built cade is a rocket and a piece of art. Nice work.
I hope to get to meet up with some of you guys again whether it be down here at whittingham or hopefully the muzzy shoot. Thanks for the memories.

I just posted Something similar to this in the thread for the Michigan Bunny stomp but it holds true for you as well:
You guys have every right to be proud of what you have done. You raised a great amount for the kids at St Judes all the while putting ALL HUNTERS, not just trad bowhunters, but ALL HUNTERS in a positive light.
:clapper:
Unlike the antis... you did this not to gain something for yourselves but simply because it is the right thing to do.
THANK YOU! I am so proud to be associated with such a great group of people, that happen to be traditional bowhunters, than anyone can imagine.
Keep up the awesome job!

Last year was his first year to come to the bunny hunt. Even with Shawn nagging on me to bring him, I was still very hesitant. I just didn't want him to be a burden on anyone. I knew if he got tired and didn't want to hunt anymore, I couldn't go back with him as I knew Shawn would need me out there to help him. He said don't worry about a thing, Cindy and the girls will take good care of him.....
Well I brought him last year and he just had a blast! Even when he wasn't out in the field, he had a wonderful time with all the girls in the house....he was in very good hands!! He couldn't say enough good about how well he was taken care of!
I never doubted he would be well taken care of, just didn't want to bother anyone.....he fit right in!
This year there was no holding him back and he was looking forward to staying back with the girls and helping them, as much as hunting with us. Just like last year, he's still talking about how much fun he had!
Cindy, Nichole, Allison, and Heather...Thank you so, so much for taking such good care of my boy....we luv you all!
OK....where were we....
The next kid's push, I was a pusher and Shawn took Cade. This was a rough one for Damon. He and I were down by the creek and some real thick cover. He was doing his best to try to bust as much brush as possible and decided to go across the creek on some shaky looking ice.....you'all can probably figure out where this is going....
I said to him..." be careful on the ice, it doesn't look too thick"....his response of ...."I'll be Ok" wasn't 2 seconds out of his mouth and down he goes!!!!!!
One leg crotch deep...he grabs a log and tries to get back up and then his whole arm on the same side goes in all the way and his face is right on the water as he holds on to the log with his other arm and leg!!!!
I paniced for a second, but then he got himself righted on the log...got up...dried his face...and said he was just fine and continued on!!!! I don't think anything bothers that guy! He just kept on smiling and breaking brush for the kids.
Damon, you rock buddy!!!!!
Cade told me he got another shot at another scampering bunny on that push...shot #3 for him. But he was REALLY feeling the Benaryl now....with one more good push to go...he wanted to go lay down.
But I stayed with him on the last push and tried to keep him up-beat as the drivers worked their way toward us. Shawn was coming in from our right and was in sight when he yelled...BUUUUUUUNNNYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He was coming right at us!!!

As was mentioned earlier, Jamie was not "alone" this weekend. Without a doubt, his dad was looking over him and smiling down from a better place...
Jamie "Ishiwannabe" made a great shot and there was no way this one was going to get away if I had anything to do with it!
I don't think Jamie will ever shoot anything with his bow that'll mean more to him, and all of us, than this bunny...

Wow, that was tougher then I thought it would be for me to type....
Tom "Swampbuck" had also made a great shot on the "island of trees" push. He was using a "made by him" wicked looking blunt.....
• (http://www.tradgang.com/upload/curt/P1060594.JPG)
Check out what it did...by the looks of this bunny's ears, he's had a close call with a shotgunner. He wasn't so lucky with Tom around!

I can't tell you how much it hurt not to come this year, especially since I was called away last year at the beginning of the hunt on Saturday! If any of you - and I mean this - feel like hunting CT this year you have a place to stay!

Izzy, didn't get a ton of time to talk or hunt with you, but I sure liked seeing the fun Noah was having. He is a great young man.
Jamie, I sure was glad to have you and your "spirit" around for the weekend. It is interesting how a little devine intervention can help deal with grief. Your dad must've been a special man! Thanks for sharing your time with us.
Big Ed, that was a fine bandaging job! Can't wait to shoot some rays with you this spring.
Skippy and John (Bahrzoo)we're still on for some bowfishing.
Curt, first thing Sat. morning when I was talking with Cade I asked him if he was going to get a rabbit this year. He said "I'm sure going to try" and he did! He was a great help with the raffle. Tell him we all say Thanks!

I think the kids push was awesome. I saw one of, if not THE, biggest bunnies ever. I think the beagles were scared of it.
The highlight of the kids hunt for me was when I noticed a bunny in "hide mode" about five feet away as we pushed the last piece. I managed to get a shooter and his guide over and watched the whole shot sequence. The young man held it together very well for his first shot at game, and I was excited to be able to be a part of that.
After that was lunch, then the hunt. I managed to get one on the first sit...and it was quite an interesting event. I think it may have been the best shot I have made with a stickbow...so far.
Hard to explain how it went down, but I think it was a magical moment for me...I will think about it and try to put it into words.
The biggest part for me was the arrow I shot for my dad, and how everyone stepped up to do it with me. I was so completely touched and honored I dared not talk on the way to the trucks because of the lump in my throat. I mean it with all of my heart when I say I have met the best people that I have had the pleasure of ever meeting at the JLMBH's, and Tradgang. I think you all helped me in ways I cant begin to describe.
Of course there was the story telling and details when I got home. I left nothing out as I explained it all...everyone's words, actions. The hunts, the kids. The raffle, the prizes. The JLMBH bow...it all was described. Then I sat down and told my mother and my wife about the arrows shot for my Dad. They both smiled, teared up, and said that dad would have loved every second of it.
I will be back at some point with some more details and stories, as I remember them and find the right words.
OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bro, I can't even begin to describe the pride I felt seeing you win that bow. There aren't that many guys who represent all this hunt is like you do. I'm sure everyone else feels the same; took all I had not to jump and shout in joy when Shawn handed that Bear over to ya'.
I also have to say that I was as proud of that last shot as I was of the one I made on my deer. Seeing everyones arrows soar of into the horizon...that just summed things up better than anything. Your dad would be proud...they just don't get any better than you bud.
Post by: Cyclic-Rivers on February 23, 2010, 09:23:00 PM
Jamie, Couldn't say much at the arrow launch had to large of a lump in my throat. I was honored to be there and let an arrow loose in memory.
My favorite part of the hunt itself was when we were at Briar back mountain standing in the open freezing wind. When I backed up I saw the kids sliding on their butt down a little hill. The adult escort was having a ball watching. I think it was David. Made me remember that the hunt is the Journey and the little side things that may take place along the way to make your time out enjoyable. The kill isn't the only Joy to be had a field.
I had another bad day at work with the snow and I'm still smiling!
Shawn, I agree those bunnies were sitting tight. There were two this weekend that didn't move even after I stomped not more than a foot from them. On the push before we all shot at the skull someone was behind me and almost had a shot at one I practically stepped on and it didn't run until it knew someone was looking at it. I need to go have my eyes checked!
I also loved it when the kids were starting to knock down the wooden bunny disc. I think Noah Used up Izzy's memory card in the camera. He was starting to hit the wood disc every time. If only a bunny ran past him it would have been a goner.

Many of you know Ken Mowrey (adkmountainken) from this site, who was unfortunately unable to make it up to this last bunny hunt. Back in 2008, Ken had his annual "Adirondack Attack", where a bunch of us got to stalk through one of the most beautiful spots in that 'dacks. One of the many aspects of the hunt was the signing of an absolutely massive knife by all the hunters. Ken later auctioned this off on the 2009 St. Judes auction.
http://tradgang.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=136;t=000175
Fast forward to this years bunny hunt. I had recently taken my first deer this past season, and Dave (vermonster13) told me he had a gift in honor of such an occasion. Imagine my surprise when he turned over the very same knife, signed by some of the greatest folks I've ever hunted with. I have to admit, I was simply floored. Still am.
Thanks again Dave. I can't even begin to admit how grateful I am.

That event Friday is kinda what led to my kill on Sat in an odd way...
Post by: ishiwannabe on February 24, 2010, 03:06:00 PM
We broke some brush, but didnt see a lot of bunnies. Shawn asked Curt and I to set the standers on the far end of the island of trees, with Curt going the long way around.
After the standers were set, I got really nervous. I couldnt see the next guy from Curt's side and I was concerned about the break in the wall of orange. No need to worry at all, for within a few minutes Curt was there. We were all set, a good thing too because I could hear brush breaking, beagles singing and the call of "Bunny!!" out in front of me.
Now for those of you that have done this hunt, this time, these moments that you wait are filled with a nervousness. Anticipation of bunnies and shot angles usually flood my mind. That wasnt the case with this, the first push.
Instead, I found myself thinking back to times I shared with my Dad, and all he taught me. There I was 30 feet away from the other standers, and I was completely alone with my dad. I found myself remembering his vague but helpful teachings in regards to the recurve I began my hunting career with. "Pick a spot." he would whisper. He had this habit of keeping his hand on my upper back. I dont know why, but knowing what I know now, maybe he knew something about back tension. Perhaps it was his way of calming me for the shot...
I digress. So there I was, alone, but with bunny hunters. Alone, but there with dad-so vividly. I heard that a bunny was down, and I smiled. I thought I heard Swampbuck got it, and let out a whoop. After all he and Sonny have done, it made me glad.
Suddenly Bill Langer yelled "Bunny!! Out front! Coming to you Jamie!" and he let an arrow loose. I caught movement, and began tracking the bunny from right to left. I didnt panic like usual, just waited for an opening. The rabbit stopped, and he was about 15 yards out, right in front of me. I had a small opening that was filled by his head and neck. I began to draw, and something magical happened. Something brushed across my back. I would swear I heard a whispered "Pick a spot." I burned a hole right below the bunny's eye...
Next thing I knew, my arrow hit the rabbit, a bit low in the neck but the second bunny was secured. I sat there in a state of awe.
A lot of emotions hit. Did I imagine that? Was there something in my mind that had? Did a fellow hunter remind me to pick a spot? Was it a branch I felt on my back? My mind was awash with a million thoughts and questions as I stared in disbelief at the bunny I just shot.
There was a noise in my head, like water rushing, or wind blowing. Then I began to hear the cheers of those next to me. Curt offered to get the bunny, as he had a straight shot through little brush. Eventually I asked him to get it for me, as I did not want to take the chance of it getting away. He did, without hesitation, and later informed me it wasnt really needed. Thanks again Curt.
Later on, after the push was complete there were pictures, and interviews. It was nice to have something to smile about and share with friends.
I sit hear typing this, and I still dont know what actually happened. It was a special moment. Shared with special friends. One that I will cherish and remember for the rest of my days.
I learned later on in the day that the shot was recorded from two angles. Im anxious to see it, and compare it to what happened in my mind's eye.
Either way, an amazing thing happened to me that morning. I realized that I still had my Dad, more so than I could remember during the hard years of Alzheimer's and being one of his caregivers. Memories came back that I had long forgotten. The proverbial flood gate was opened.
That bunny was for you Dad.

I just want to clarify that I dont mean to sound like it was "paranormal" by any means. I think it was very vivid memories, and being in the emotional state I was in. I have always said when I pick up a stick bow, I walk with my father... Im not sure if I can explain what I mean by that. I guess that push, that time, was just an overwhelming flood of memories. Anyway...
After the island of trees, we were off to do the honey hole, a piece new to a lot of us. Once again, Shawn asked me to set the standers. On my end, not much was seen, except for a very upset ruffed grouse at about mach 2.
The rest of the day kinds of blurs on me. I hadnt been sleeping too well, and Im afraid I might have been delerious. The highlights were many, but most are stories for others to tell.
Like I have said, the highlights were numerous. I dont think I have ever felt so close to such a large group of people. Homer really choked me up at one point with a very sincere jesture. The talks and handshakes and hugs were all very tough, but very much needed and appreciated.
I will let some others relate some details from Saturday. Then I have more to add...after I find the words.

When I came upon that first pic of just you and your bunny, I saw the power of the day. Your dad was there with you, guiding and sharing your vision. I could see that in your eyes. Savor it, this gift, it's real.
Blessings on you and your family, you make THIS family richer for being among us.
Shawn, what a gift you have given to so many, for so many years! I want to thank you and your family for these years of service to St Jude, to The Hunt, and to many who never would have had the experience without you all. Many youngsters will grow up and remember, and show their children what joy can be found in snow and crisp winter air... and briars! I know that I will never forget, and will always cherish the memory of friends met and made, of generous hearts, the sound of bells and merry arrows filling the air.
There is magic all around us, and all it takes is for us to look for it. Thank you for The Hunt.

And I have been thinking a bit about the arrow I used for that shot...the feathers got beat up going through that hole. I was going to fix it, but my heart is telling me to put it in the St. Jude's auction. I think Dad would have liked that.

I believe our loved ones past are always with us we just usually never stop to notice. Seems people are just to busy or selfish to see the cues. I admit sometimes I get caught up in the moment and forget to listen to my surroundings. It isn't until I succumb to my environment that I usually see the signs.
Terry, I would love to see your bow fishing rig. You ever go at night for carp? I used to bow fish all the time growing up. started with a tin can and string wrapped around it. I had the can taped to my bow. I had to be careful not to point the bow downward as the string would fall off. LOL It was a pleasure sharing a table with you Jen and Ron.
Jamie There were 80 people and only 3 rabbits taken. I don't think it's coincidence you were one. I couldn't be happier for you. Every time I read your posts I choke up. Don't think we are going a whole summer and not frog hunting.
Killie, we have snow now too so do feel so special :biglaugh:

I coped a lot of grief for going away to this hunt, some people just don't get it, but being a part of it and reading all the posts about what it meant to everyone, I am very happy I went. I am humbled to be a small part of such a wonderful group of people.
Jamie, when I turn those rose shoots into arrows I will be thinking of you, you father, and everyone associated with the JLMBH.

Post by: swampbuck on February 25, 2010, 12:22:00 PM
As the orange army :biglaugh: marched along the airstrip we held the dogs back letting things get set with the standers way up front and around the back side of the island of tree's. As we approached the wide section just before the isle I figured it was safe to turn the dogs loose figuring that the bunnies would head down into the isle,ofcourse they didn,t all follow the script and Sonny was in hot pursuit out the back to where we would hunt later.I used the collar to call him off and get him back where I wanted him but with his garage incident the day before he was quick looking for me heading back to the house.Cindy called and said she had him THANK YOU I know he was a pain in the *#%^* since I wasn't there and he wanted to hunt.
Just before I got that call and was heading to go get him and I heard Mike(mcgroundstalker) hollar "Tom ,Tom"
I saw him go in right there ...

I do hope we get a chance to hunt together again. Even though I never connected on any of my half dozen or so shots, it was the most fun I've had rab, er, bunny hunting in awhile. It's great just to hear the dogs work. And you couldn't ask for a nicer group of folks to spend a weekend with.

The orange you see is a pusher that is maybe 20 yards in front of me in an open cut, I had ten yards of h**l to go through to get to him......
Here is a line of standers that would eventually turn to pushers, this was a cut that was a couple of hundred yards in to the push of Briarback...

One of my greatest memories of this event will always be at Briar back Mountain, when we were pushing through the most wicked briar patch I have been in. I was between you and Jamie, your like a bulldozer in those things, I couldnt believe it. I got hung up for a few minutes when a big piece of briar went down into my boot so I had to lay on the ground under the bush and take my boot off, the pain was too much to try to go on without removeing it. When I got done taking the briar out of my boot you guys were 20 yards ahead yelling bunny! I ended up cutting myself out of the briars because there was just know where to go. That was awesome!
You aren't hunting bunnies if you aren't bleed'n!
I hope something materializes somewhere next year.

Coming out of the valley, I learned the third bunny was taken. I will leave that story to the hunter...
We slugged back to the house. I know my legs were shot, and my body ached.
The food was ready though. The various wild game dishes, the bbq chicken, I took a lot of food. I never thought I would finish it all, but I did. I ate as quickly as I could because I could feel myself tightening up and getting sore-I didnt want to be stuck in a chair. LOL.
The raffle was awesome. David and I were drooling over almost everything. Frank's knife, quivers, bows....anything you can imagine, and it was probably there. Amazing generousity. So much in fact, that we actually had to combine some prizes to move it along, and it still was over three hours I believe.
When it came time for the final prize, Shawn made a speech. A lot of points stick out in my mind right now. I think I will let him do that part though.
Imagine the surprise when I won the very last item. I hadnt won a single thing through out the night, often joking about stirring the tickets up. Im glad that didnt happen though... I became the proud owner of the JLMBH bow and Mikey's pink suit. I had no idea what that would come to mean to me...

I'm glad I did!
Bob, I left that bunny there for you, so don't say I never gave you anything :biglaugh:
Hope to cross paths with such fine individuals again away from the computer.
Jamie, I don't think anyone else was better deserving of the JLMBH bow than you! How's the wife and you enjoying the Pink outfit? you dont have to answer that! ;)

I was approaching a pile along the field edge from in the woods, Alei was covering the outside in the field.
I thought I saw something move in the pile, and told Alei to get ready. As I got closer I tried to pick the pile apart to see if I could see the bunny, if in fact there was one in there. I couldn't, so I waded in and out goes the bunny...with Alei's arrow right behind it!!!!!

I'll try and keep this short.....
It has been a pleasure getting to REALLY know you over the years My Brother!!!!! I was fortunate enough to have known your Mom before she "made the journey" and she was a real sweetheart,and a truely wonderful woman!!!!! She reminded me so much of my own Mom,always happy to have a housefull of "Hunters" around!!!!! Your Dad is the BEST!!!!! I can still remember one of my first "Bunny Hunts",I was going into a multiflora thicket and your Dad "Jake" was right beside me going in..... when I got out the other side,Jake was sitting on a log with the selfbow that David made him on his lap,and his 1 arrow nocked on the string..... I was completely dumbfounded!!!!! I remember thinking "this old man must be half rabbit,and crawled through the $hi+ on his belly"..... I'll NEVER forget the way he looked at me and grinned,then he said "pretty thick in there huh???"
Shawn, you a your family have done a wonderful job in your Mother's memory!!!!! You,Cindy,"The Girls",Damon,(and your other "Son in-law" who this Old Indian's brain is to clouded to remember his name) are a true tribute to your Mother!!!!! She smiles upon you from the other side,and her heart is very glad!!!!! You have all done well!!!!!
I Love You My Brother!!!!! I am a better person for having you come into my life and treat me like family. Although there will never be another "Joan Leonard Memorial Bunny Hunt" I will continue to make the journey to Selkirk every year for a day of hunting Bunnys with you in your Mom's honor. The Great Spirit has sent me a vision,and this is how it will be.....
Take Care My Brother!!!!!

As for the hunt, at the raffle Saturday night Jamie and I worked together getting the gifts going, he had his eye on this particular knife all night long, practically had to pry it from him to get it raffled off.......he didn't win it. We got to the last raffle, and Shawn's announcement that this was to be the last hunt came first. I know it wasn't easy for either Shawn or Cindy to do this, but I also understand that it's time..........the last prize was the JLMBH bow. The number was picked, I knew it was close to me, which meant I knew it was close to Jamie too........he softly said that's me, once again other forces were working here. Couldn't have happened to a better guy at a better time......
Sunday's hunt brought the Greenhouse push and the dreaded Briarback Mtn push. I've never sat that push, and with this being the last hunt, and knowing that it was the last time I would have to endure it, I went again. Alas, no bunnies were killed Sunday, (maybe an omen that it IS time for the hunt to end), and we all returned to Shawn for a bite to eat before we said our goodbyes.

Shawn, Cindy and family. I don't know if I can put into words what you have done. I am in awe each year as you open your house to what at least at one time are/were total strangers. You don't blink an eye at the number of people that invade your home for a weekend each year. Cindy, you are one of a kind, a good kind....(you have to be, even if you are a damn yankees fan!) Thank you for what you have done.
Shawn, be proud of what you have accomplished, thank you for allowing me to be a small part of it. I am proud to call you my friend.........I don't know what else to say.......thank you.
To all of you that have taken part at any time in this hunt, you know what has gone on in Selkirk for the last six years, it shows us all what can be accomplished by a small group of like minded people. Be proud of being a part of that........
I hope to see you all at some point in the coming years, and if any of you are in NH or just passing through, please give me a shout. We could at least sit down for a cup of coffee......

What do I do with this void? Do I see all the great people I've met in Selkirk only once now at The Muzzy Shoot? Maybe... Maybe Not. In the past we would wait for an event to come around in order to be with "like minded people". Now I am motivated to make things happen. Gotta thank my buddy Shawn for the inspiration. God Bless You Shawn! You are a true leader of men. Be proud of your family and close friends that made The Bunny Hunt a reality!
It's been said when God closes one door another opens... Let's see where this takes us now. I'm ready for the ride. Are all of you feeling the same?

Lead by example
Take your child out with you on the first day of season, share the whole experience.
Thanks Shawn and family for being such fantastic role models. I know this thread will be closed soon so until we meet again
