Hey Curt, Glad to see you got my good side in those pics. LOL. I know there's at least one more of me sprawled out like that from the last drive. seems like I spent as much time on my belly as I did my feet. Ahhhh, the memories.

The pictures are great. Each one brings a smile to my face.

Well said about Jeremy. He made me a beutiful knife to match my bow. Chances are if you were at the bunny hunt I showed it to you. Jeremy if you want to hunt deer at my camp this year just say the word.

[Tdog]

Shawn as you know deep in your heart what you have done here will NEVER BEFORE GOTTEN,, NEVER...Deep in side me these last two years of hunting buunies with you and everyone else. Will Never before gotten. As long as we, who have hunted with you. This will never end. This hunt, that has help those kids. It will never end.Some day one of the young hunters that has hunted with us will pick up the torch and keep this going and say to the bunch of arrow sling bunny hunters I keep this going because I remember doing this with my Dad and this guy Shawn Leonard. IT WILL NEVER END...

It's great that Curt takes all of these pics. It takes time away from hunting but makes the hunt last forever. I had my camera but never took picture number 1.

.....Curt-------again--nice pix---glad you captured the moments  

[Budog56]

New York is a long way from nebraska but after reading this thread its defenetely one of those hunts that goes on the someday list right along with alaska, canada, and all the other fun places. My family thinks Im crazy enough to want to travel all over for big game. Imagine the look on their face when I tell them im going to New York to hunt Rabbits...  

[Huntrdfk@Work]

And you should have been in it Curt......Remind me next year to take more pics, I know how time consuming this is to do, thanks.

All of you pay attention to those two young men....Ru, who shoots two rabbits in the same push.  He is a fine young man that knows how to handle himself in the woods with a bow.

Then there's Joe....I, like everyone else was amazed that he kept up with us throughout the entire wekend.....the last brutal walk across that open field to the last push, high winds with windblown snow, he keeps pushing along right in front of me, never complaining.  I will never forget at the end of that walk when his dad grabs him bt both hands and pulls him along like a slad over the snow.  You are ok in my book Joe.....    

Our future is in good hands with these two young men.

David

Way to go Jamie nothing like breaking in a new bow on bunnies, OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH. Curt that is a great shot of Joe and I with bunny. Thanks again curt and everyone else.

[Stone Knife]

I love that vest Shawn it looks like your getting ready to direct all the bunny traffic right into the pot  

[Guru]

Heading off to the last push.......

 

By now it was brutal cold with the wind blowing REAL hard!  Shawn,Stoneknife,and RU.......

 


Swmpbuck's long awaited bunny........

 

Shawn's second bunny.....

 


Somehow I didn't get Aram's bunny by himself.But he's a part of this great group pic.......Jeremy,Aram,Ru(only holding one of his bunny's),Shawn,Swampbuck,Hntrdfk,Stoneknife and Joe..........9 bunny's in one afternoon!!!  Before this weekend we'd never killed more than 4 for the weekend. I still can't believe it!!!

 


I've got a few more special pix to finish up later.Then I'll e mail any pix to those who requested........

[woodchucker]

Thanks for the pictures Curt!!!!! It's almost like being there all over again!!!!!  

OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

BTW,Kevin says to tell everyone that sure is a SWEET bow that Jeremy is holding LOL (It's Kevin's    :rolleyes: )

[Jeremy]

Kevin's bow is a sweet lil' thang.  A bit light for me and that bow quiver thing would have to go  :D

Way to go Jamie!!    

The guys on this hunt are what make it really special!  This was my third year and I'm already looking forward to next Feb!!

I watched Ru shoot those two bunnies and I really have to agree with everyone.  He's turning into a fine young man.

[Tim Kosteczko]

a great last pic there, that is an impressive sight all them bunnies with just sticks in hand

[ishiwannabe]

Every pic brings it back...I have said it before, Curt, you capture the sprit of the hunt and hunters. Great work.
I volunteer to bring a camera next year to help out so you can get more shots....with your bow I mean.LOL.
Still very impressed by Joe and Ru. Next year or two they are gonna be killing more than the rest of us...just watch.
Anyone that travels for this hunt would not be disappointed. Now if we could just get Chuck to dance the right amount, in the right driection....
