Well I,ll tell ya what,ya can still dance but ya hafta take lessons from Ken and do it in your loin cloth LOL   :goldtooth:  

In any event there really only needs to be a couple inchs on the ground.With the ice still wieghtin down the trees and 6+" of snow on top of that it,s like walkin thru a giant chest high brush pile pretty much every where cept for open fields.It was almost as bad as the very first bunny hunt at Hooks place.

PS if you fella,s haven,t been bustin brush a little in advance your legs are gonna wanna kill ya LOL You,ll see    :biglaugh:
Shoot straight and have FUN!!

And still no snow on the ground here...and I am about 15 miles south of the bunny hunt grounds. Those  conditions do sound rough swamp.
Might head out later today towards dark....I have been practicing with Shawn and Damon...every time I get home from a hunt she points out the thorns/scratches on my face...then she shakes here head.  :confused:  
Good luck to anyone heading out today...

Alex,
      i'm going to go out on a limb and say i don't think ya want to see either me or Chuck in any kind of tutu!!!!   :scared:    :scared:     then again if we both were to wear them for the bunny hunt i bet the bunnies would be scared to even move and give us some easy shots!!   :archer:

Well...I'll be breaking in a new pair of LL Bean
Maine Hunting Guide wool pants for the bunny hunt. Couldn't locate the heavier Swiss Army wool pants I've come to rely on over the years.

I ordered the Malone color...gray/black/red...I was told they were out of my size. She said the only pair in my size was Brown Camouflage!! Sold...they will be at my door Thursday. I may cheat and use them Sat chasing some bunnies behind my home....now to get suspenders     :archer:

Shawn, you are more than welcome to come bro...A third person would be good, especially one  that can hit bunnies!
So much for the snow we were getting last night...I want to be a weatherman. You can be wrong all the time, and still get paid and keep your job...
Are you guys dancing? LOL

Hey Joe! What's with the body and hair wash? I thought hunters were not supposed to wash up! Just turn our underware inside out! Right?

Ya did a fine job on those arras Skipp...You are my HERO!!! And I like your truck too...It's good that you keep it clean...Mine is clean also...Cause my old lady said I'm gonna have to sleep in it till the bunny hunt is over...
