Shawn says Bunny Hunt!!!

[Shawn Leonard]

It was so deep last year we hired a loader to clear it all, we had about 27"s. The snow may of been deep but it is th ereason we killed 16 bunnies and that is not counting the 3 who committed suicide by diving down the old well! OOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Shawn

If this wasn't right in the middle of my busy time I think I'd have to come. I wonder if I could afford air fare after doing all that cold weather clothes shopping???  :D  

I know you guys will have a blast just like every year.    CK

[Shawn Leonard]

Curtis, Thanks very much!! Enjoy your busy time. I would love to be down your way at the time of my hunt!    We have had it as cold as -15 degrees and wind chills of around -33 degrees tw oyears ago. It was warm last year, we started out around 3 degrees and ended up around 15 degrees. Shawn

[Littlefeather]

Thanks for the reassurance that I live in the right place for me.  :D  
I can't feel my bow string when it gets below 60.  

[ishiwannabe]

It isnt that bad if ya dress medium-light. Trust me, those drifts we had to SWIM through got your heart pumping. Throw the bow a few feet....swim to bow.....throw the bow....swim to bow...I cant wait!

[Kingstaken]

Did anyone mention if ya crossing the runway and a plane comes in for a landing ya gotta jump and dive into the snow bank or risk being runwaykill???  

[Jeremy]

Shawn mentioned   Briarback Mountain  
That pic is where it was opening up near the top!!

OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH YEAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

[Huntrdfk@Work]

I remember that spot, I also remember having to throw my bow out of there to get out.......

The runway is now fenced but we have a ladder to get over. The owners want me to continue to hunt it, thus the ladder. We can crawl underneath in a spot too!! Briarback has tons of bunnies and we I did a push for some kids that I work with where we used to shoot a lot of bunnies but the beavers invaded it, well guess what? All those fresh cuttings have attracted a bunch of bunnies and that is not to mention the rabbit valley, man we killed 6-8 in there last year and there are a ton in there again!! OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!  Shawn

[VTer]

Where abouts in NY does this take place?

[Huntrdfk]

Greg it is in Selkirk, NY. Can't be too far from you, it's 3 1/2 hours for me.

[Shawn Leonard]

It is 5 miles south of the capital(Albany). We have guys from at least 7 states come and this year from Virginia and West Virginia!! Guys start making your stuff for the raffle. We will have a bunch of bows this year to give away as I myself will give away two!! OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Shawn

[ishiwannabe]

Bows you say??    
I already have some stuff for the table...I plan on having a few more items, maybe even a 1/2 dozen ramin arrows, some obsidian heads....who knows what else.
I gotta say Im looking forward to this way too much already.
When ya wanna start with the practice sessions?

[Shawn Leonard]

Jamie mentions bows as he won two at the hunt last year, one was a custom donated by Marc and the people at Chek-Mate and we have another custom coming this year!!! I cannot practice at all right now, I am still hunting but cannot shoot more than one shot. I have a torn trapeseus(sp.?) and a slight tear in my left tricep. I have all I can do to shoot once and I am deer hunting until Sunday. We will get in plenty of practice hunts though as I am gonna shoot lefty for a while. I just got a new Widow PTF and I cannot even shoot it. I have a lefty Kodiak Mag that I am gonna shoot for a while. This hunt is gonna be awesome and HUGE!!!! OOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Shawn

[Bowspirit]

I've got a quiver of solid fiberglass bowfishing shafts like the one I used last year all ready to do battle with the steel...
