Nope, I don't mind. I just don't like the vest!!! I really enjoyed the hunt this year more than most. I had more opportunity to shoot in the yard and I got to sit on a few pushes this year which does not happen to often. It is nice that we now have so many guys that know the pieces we are huting and I can send RU, Jeremy,Aram, Bob, Tom, Jamie,as well as the usual guys Curt and David. Rather than having to place guys myself. You all make this thing easy, just ask the bunnies!! OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Shawn

Hey shawn: Did you hunt at all this weekend? Just wondering how you made out.

As I sit back and read these posts and think about everything that happened on this hunt, I can't help but think that it works the way it does because of the people that go to it. All of you make this hunt happen, without everyone participating in some way, whether it is in the way of bringing food, targets, something for the table, taking pictures or just money for tickets. I can remember Larry getting to Shawn's on Saturday morning with Greg, and being happy that Greg had been able to make it. Shortly after Larry and I had a conversation about parenting and kids, (whether you know it or not Larry that was an important conversation to me), and I realized that all of us are of the same mold.....look at Terry with his sons Jeff and Tyler, Aram with Ru, and Jim with Joe, Larry with Greg......then there is Shawn with his family.....

None of this is meant to diminish in anyway what Shawn does for this hunt, he and his family open his arms to what at one time were total strangers, I'm not sure that many of us would be able to do what he does to facilitate this hunt.

So, here is my biggest thank you to Shawn and his family, and to each and everyone of you for doing what you do to make this hunt what it is!

THANK YOU ALL,

David

Tom (Swampbuck), ya done good! More than that, you did yourself, my dear friend girl - Barb, me, and everyone that was/is touched by what you did, PROUD, very proud. Many folks are and will be touched to varying degrees by it - but I expect none will be Touched any deeper than I. (It's taken me awhile to "adjust my eyeballs" so's I could post my thanks to you, Guru, Shawn, and all those dear friends who have made comments about this part of a great hunt that Barb and I were proud to be "taken along on". I also know, not only because you told me in a message, but because I have come to know your ways in the last four years or so, that you truly hope to carry and hold my arrow for quite some time to come. Bless your heart, Tom.

Dang, I forgot Chuck and Kevin......

You know what I mean Chuck, and you are right in there with all that I mentioned.......

Bernie, I wish you were there, I had seen Tom's arrows earlier in the hunt and knew something was going to happen, I just didn't know what....as you can tell, it was a special and touching moment.

Shawn Leonard · « **Reply #1551 on:** February 25, 2007, 06:05:00 PM »

Bernie, I knew Barb thru this site. I came to think of her as a friend. This was a very special way of paying tribute to such a big contributer to this site. I was honored just to be present when Tom launched that arrow. I think I was one of few who he actually let know what he was doing and the moment he chose could not of been better. Ya know Bernie that if ya hustle ya can make it to my Dads house in about 10 hours or so from where ya are, maybe next year you could make the trip, we would love to have ya!! OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Shawn

Thank you so much, Shawn, for your kind words and offer. Also for what you do in honor of your Mother and for St.judes. I don't travel much anymore, except when someone else is the driver (except around our local area). It makes my wife worry too much. So, I go a lot of places "in spirit only" LOL - but I still enjoy it - and still love to be asked. Thanks again.

Shawn Leonard · « **Reply #1553 on:** February 25, 2007, 09:24:00 PM »

I also have another quick story. I was watching a group of guys walking across a bitter cold field, they were dragging along one fine boy in little Joe,the best, is that all these guys just met the kid and treated him as one of their own, blocking him from the wind and breaking a trail for our future, Joe and the other guys RU, Justin who did not make it this year are it and they will do us proud!! Of that I am sure!!! OOOOOHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Shawn

ishiwannabe · « **Reply #1554 on:** February 25, 2007, 09:29:00 PM »

They are some rather impressive kids. But then again, they have some rather impressive fathers too. Im kinda impressed by everyone I met there.
