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.   :thumbsup:  CK

Curtis, Thanks very much!! Enjoy your busy time. I would love to be down your way at the time of my hunt!  :bigsmyl:  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

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

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

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...
