Still feelin' like poop....but I've been threatened enough....
Get there Sat. morning....Walk in to Dad's house to bring some gear in....I hear, in a womans voice, "hey Curt", as nonchalant as could be, like she's said hello to me a hundred times,and we just saw each other the day before....It was Miss Killy. We'd never actually met before...that's her way...she's like an instant old friend.....
The kids hunt was the highlight for me...but something happened to me the next day,in the same spot that was a close second. Those kids were just a hoot, I wish I'd have had Cade for that part of the hunt. The video I took of Adam on the kids hunt,and all of the other Bunny hunt stuff will be sent to Terry and hopefully be a part of the next B of TG dvd .
Very first drive on Sat...."The Island of Trees" push...Shawn sends me to set the standers....Get set with "T-dog on my right,and Shawns friend Mario on my left....I hear the drive begin and it wasn't long before the stampede started.....here come a bunny right for me. I start me draw as he's hopping toward me prepared for a moving shot and he stops :mad: . Now normally that's a good thing,but I shoot much better when I don't have to hold a re-adjust my focus. I held got on him at 10 yds and shot right under him. That bunny would be dead just about 10 out of 10 if I draw on him while sitting, but I couldn't risk the movement....oh well.....shot shots later the drive ended.....I was loving life! It's hard to desribe the excitment of these drives. The voices and distant banter back and forth between hunters is priceless
That was the last time I'd shoot at a bunny on sat., even thought I saw a bunch more,I was either driving or videoing,and didn't manage any more shots....What a start
By the end of day one.....there's were 10 bunny's brought in....Shawn and I talked earlier about never being able to duplicate last years total. We figured 16 bunny's was just a fluke cause by last years deep snow.....but now, after 10 on the first day, we were talking about the possibility of breaking last years total!
Another one of Damon(nomad88) Shawn's son in law , he's turned into the bunny terminator.....
Stoneknife(Jim) and little Joe,his son.....
Fran with his bunny....
All the gangers that killed a bunny on day one, I have a better pic I'll post later(with killy's eyes open)....
The raffle Sat. night was just awesome, donated items were more than anyone could ever expect....I threw in my $100 for the kids and I think I was on the low end of donation...guys were pouring money into the box and grabbing tickets by the truckload!
It was a very lucky night for me,I came home with a ton of great stuff!
