(Final Thankyou!!!)Joan Leonard Memorial Bunny Hunt(2007)

[bbassi]

I just wanted to be the 100th post! LOL

Seriously, Really looking forward to it guys!

Jeremy, tell your wife your not going to hunt, rather this is a business trip. You have orders to finalize and raw materials to purchase/negotiate for.    Tell her you will be able to write off the full cost of the weekend, that should help right? Well, it's true!

Hot Hap....    

It's in the mid 60's here right now, unbelievable........

Its great every year this gets bigger and bigger,Shawn you my have to get a bigger table this year     ::The weather should turn before long.I was just down in the shop looking over the inventory of arrows for the hunt,Looks like I will be fine plenty of judos and small game tips,lets go Feb.........>>>>-----> ED

[Jeremy]

David, yup, that's what it means.  I'll be putting in the moose drawings as a place keeper only to keep the points.  I should have a 2 month old when the archery season starts here in Sept!      

Shawn, I have a quiver here nearly finished if'n ya still want it!

Joe and David, I haven't forgotten about your strings!  My thumb has finally healed to the point I can put a moderate amount of pressure on it... I still can't do a tight twist like I used to but I can start serving strings, so Joe the endless I owe you will be pre-stretched soon.  Be careful with tablesaws kids!!

[Shawn Leonard]

Yup, I do. I just have been a little nuts this year. Dad being ill and all and me and the misses having our differences. Don't worry she will be there for the hunt, she loves you guys. I will have some $$$ for the quiver or some trade items Jeremy. Ed, I got some arrows for ya as well. Some carbons that are 27.5"s and tough as nails. Remind me when the hunt gets here. The tables will be awesome, I do not know about quantity but quality will be awesome. Looking Good!!! OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Shawn

[Wapiti Chaser]

Shawn, Hope your father is well. I orderd some HEX heads just for the hunt. The Judos work great but that brush can catch them quick like !!!!

[Shawn Leonard]

Yup, I have a bunch of hex-heads as well. I am gonna shoot blunts with a little bleeder blade. Food list is coming tomorrow as I was busy today. I am hunting in the morning with Damon, new spot. Lets hope it is good!!! OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Shawn

[mcgroundstalker]

I agree...Judos can do the job on a bunny, but those Ace Hex Bunny Busters come out of a back quiver quick as a field point and don't pull out three other arrows with it!... ...

>>-----> mike <-----<<

P.S. Shawn...Hope all will be well with dad.

[3dmuzzy]

Good luck tomorrow Shawn go get them    Sounds like the hex heads are the trick...ED

Pray for snow....Pray for snow....Pray for snow!

[mcgroundstalker]

Hey Shawn! Did I read that right? You have arrows that look like ME? Just 27.5" long and bite their nails?...   <------<< - - - - - - - - - - - -

[woodchucker]

Shawn, Do you want this "Old Indian" to start "Snow Dancing" yet?????

I gotta work on my "direction" a little more though.....last year David and the rest of the "New England Gang" got 2-3 FEET!!!!!     :eek:

OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

[Shawn Leonard]

Chuck, I sure do, but lets keep it to 4-6"s. I am going to bed as I want to kill a bunny in the morning and will dream of all the snow that will come!!! OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Shawn

[recurver]

Shawn:

   Hope your dad is OK... Remember I live pretty close, so if you need any help with anything let me know. I can come up the weekend before to help. Or the Friday afternoon of the weekend of the hunt. Good luck today with the bunnies.

[Huntrdfk]

It at a minimum has to get cold, imagine going through those briars in shorts and t shirts??  


David (Who breaks out the shorts when the temp hits 60......no matter what the consequences)

[Shawn Leonard]

All I can say is OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! The new spot we have to hunt is loaded with bunnies. We only saw about 8 or so, but we did not hunt long and saw a ton of sign. It is thick but has some old trals cut thru which will be awesome. Damon and Justin(Damons son) hunted with me and we all agreed that if we had more guys we would of had  alot of shooting. I got one shot and that was it. If we put 30 guys in this piece the bunnies will be in trouble, I have some greta spots to hunt as you guys know and this is right up there with the best!! Next post is the food List!!!! OOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Shawn

[Shawn Leonard]

Here we go: Beverages- at least 8 cases of canned soda or juice(no glass)---> 2-3 gallons of orange and apple juice---> Main dishes-5-6 to feed at least 15 people or so.---->Hot Dogs and Rolls 3-4 dozen of each---->Lunch Meat+Cheese-5-6#s of lunch meat-2-3#s of cheese--->Chips an assortment of 5-6 big bags---->Pickles-3-4 jars----->Cereal+Milk-3-4-boxesand 2 gallons milk(Recurver)---->Donuts-3-4 dozen---->Bagels +(4) Cream cheese-3-4-dozen----Condiments(Butter 3#s, mustard, ketchup,Hellmans Mayo, relish)----> I will provide a 6ft. sub, (coffee, cream,sugar hot chocolate, tea) I will alos make a huge venison stew.
