Here are a couple of pics for you. Then I need to get to bed. I think the shot total was 82, 5 of which drew hair and one kill. Lots of close ones.

Here is the Rabbit shot by Bob with a quick follow up from Guru.

Here Bob is presented with the prize bow and arrow for getting the first rabbit.

More details later I am whooped. :D

Well.. this was my first time on the Bunny Hunt! And it will definitely be one of my most memorable hunt days ever! Had a Blast! What a Great Day!

To Shawn and his Mom and Dad... Thank You for the wonderful time and hospitality! And making this Bunny Hunt possible.

For fear of missing anyone... I just want to say to all you Bunny Hunt Trad Gangers.. It was a pleasure and fun meeting you all. A real fine group of Ladies and Gentlemen.

God Bless you all until we meet again.

Here is a shot video of shooting some moving targets. Pretty poor quality since it was shot with my digital still camera. Guru has some better video he shot.

Moving shots (750 K)

Figures you guys would get a bunny just after I left! Nice shooting!

I had two shots on Sunday... don't know if they made it into the total or not.

It was an absolute BLAST meeting everybody and I'd like to say "Thank you" once again to Shawn and his folks for having all of us!

Oh, I'm still pulling thorns out of myself!

I am still sore, and am now watching the snow fall, meaning I'll have to go fight with the snowblower at some point today. Here's some of the damage from the last couple of days.

I know there's a lot more human blood was drawn that bunny blood, but what a great time it was.
I know I've said it already, but thank you Shawn, and Jake for having all of us for the weekend. And thanks to all that were there over the two days, it was awesome to meet you all, and if you are ever in the area of southeastern New Hampshire, you are always welcome at my home.

Little stiff this morning lots of those marks on my hands legs and neck and head. Next time I will wear brush pants for sure.

I was having bunny dreams last night little lightning fast forms threading through the thick brush.

What a day and night. I got home around 7:30 last night only to realize I left my truck keys and wallet back at Shawns Dad's house! So...8:30 I took off for Albany again..I'm exhausted, nursing many scratches, still pulling thorns out and my left eye still has "sumpin" in it from when I crawled through those briars. Another great time, great fellas, the super great Leonard family for putting up with all of us and I even managed to get off 2 shots on the last drive of the day. I can't wait to see the pics of Sunday's crew....those Albany rabbits are pretty tough...I watched one get "thumped" by a 75# bow, nutter arrow at close range. The bunny rolled over, righted himself and took off...never to be seen again! Time to finish my coffee and start shoveling...

Wow It's over already. Thanks to Shawn and his parents. They are great hosts and welcomed us into their home with open arms. Shawn, you did a great job and raised $300.00 for St Judes at the same time !! It's great to meet fellow Trad Gangers and get to hunt and shoot with everybody.
Thanks Again Shawn and family !!!

Wapiti Chaser · « **Reply #35 on:** February 21, 2005, 11:55:00 AM »

Shawn did you ever find Ben ?

swampbuck · « **Reply #36 on:** February 21, 2005, 12:38:00 PM »

Bob,I saw that he did in another post.

I,d like to thank whom ever it was that donated the back quiver that I ended up winning :D it will replace the one I have thats held together with duct tape.

Actually thanks to everybody it was a great time many donated to the cause and we got 300 for St Judes.

Congrads to Bob for connecting just seconds before Curts arrow anchored the same bunny.Of course I think Bob gave it a heart attack on his first shot,which was almost self defense LOL,the rabbit fell over to escape the first shot Bob turned loose only to not go far and meet his maker

Sonny did okay there was times when he pushed the bunnies the wrong way(they ran away from the drivers with the dog in pursuit instead of towards the sitters lol)many bunnies slipped out the back.It,s hard to push bunnies one way when a bellering beagle is in front of them.

When I left last night, Ben was still running them. He was really sounding off way down past the air strip. LOL.
