[woodchucker]

OK.....I know it may have gotten "a little" out of hand.....and "maybe" some places got "a little more" than I wanted the to.....BUT.....

DID I EVER DANCE UP A SNOW STORM,OR WHAT?????  

Just remember!!!!!   :rolleyes:  Lots of SNOW = Lots of BUNNIES!!!!!!!!!!  

OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

[Stone Knife]

Chuck i have to give you the credit for our good fortune. If it hadn't been for the neck deep snow that you somehow conjured up, i don't think we would have shot all them bunnies. When your face to face with a wild animal and he looks bigger than you do because your head is the only thing above the snow, you have the tendency to hit better as a matter of self preservation.  

[ishiwannabe]

LOL ya did good Chuck....I wouldnt have changed a thing about that hunt....except maybe hitting a rabbit or two...or three.
I cant get through a day without talking about it somehow.
Didnt make it back out today...some family things. If all goes well I hope to make it out atleast one day this weekend.
Stone knife....funny stuff. Ya know I thought that rabbit you got downhill from me looked like he was charging you....

Remember when the kids of South Park went hunting?..."AAAHHHHHhhhh!... ...IT'S COMING RIGHT FOR US!!!"...

Chuck....next year if you dance up that much snow again, I'll definately have a few of my goumbas pay you a visit...  :eek:      

You know...the kind that talk funny and carry baseball bats!  

[Shawn Leonard]

Yup, we all complained about the snow, but without it we would have never shot 16 bunnies. I still cannot believe it 16 bunnies!! OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Shawn

Shawn, the one of you and Sonny is a riot  

[ishiwannabe]

If anyone is wondering why sonny is seeming to smile....ask Shawn. LMAO
Again, great pics Curt. That was a very noble thing...

[swampbuck]

Thanks for gettin those pic's taken care of for me Curt.

A couple yrs ago I had told Bernie that I,d shoot an arrow in memoery of his friend girl Barb and being the procrastinator that I am while I often think about it I had not yet done it.Since I was making up some wood arrows special for this hunt I thought I,d do that arrow up that I said I would and also get Berine(ber643) his archer's at full draw pic at the same time.It then acured to me that Bernie and Barb had never hunted together so I made up the other arrow for Bernie and carried them on the hunt both days.

The 2nd day I was being careful with them since some of the huntin is kinda tuff LOL and Shawn carried them for the push back thru at the green house and I handed them off to somebody else on that last drive just before sending Barbs arrow off.I don,t remember who that was sorry

One good thing that worked out by my draggin my butt is that Barb's arrow was launched off from the "hope" bow and I,m not sure if anybody else noticed but that arrow seemed to be still riseing when it went outta sight.

As for Bernie's arrow well I just may take him huntin with me in not so ruff an area LOL but mostly that arrows gonna sit with my other trophy arrows for another 30-40 more yrs    


This was an excellent hunt fot sure!!!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAA

16 BUNNIES WOW!!

[swampbuck]

LOL he does look like he,s(Sonny) smilin in the last pic Lets just say Shawn must have warm hands  

[ishiwannabe]

Very touching thing Swamp buck. I was lucky enough to be right next to Curt for that. Awesome gesture and a beautiful ceremony.

[Stone Knife]

Tom i remember watching that arrow rise right out of sight it's nice when people take the time to remember the departed, that was a good thing you did for her.
