My bunny hunt was cut short due to the power outage, but I'd like to thank Shawn and his family for putting this on. It was great to meet everyone!

I'm glad the gang managed to get a few bunny's!

Glad you all enjoyed yourselves.

First I would like to thank Shawn, his wife Cindy, and Shawn's father for hosting this great event, this family really goes above and beyond to make sure you have a good time(it's just an honor being there with them), an unbelievable amount of time and planning goes into this hunt(the food was delicious, a big thumbs up to all the cooks and bakers), second I want to say thank you to both BJK and Mark Fedrizzi for getting me there this year and everyone that donated and bought tickets for the St Judes auction, we raised over a thousand dollars for the kids this year,...ticktock ticktock... is it next year yet?

Thanks to Shawn and his family...a HUGE effort to pull off (without a hitch) an incredible time!!!

Mark's bunny thrower was an awesome new addition...a ton of r&d in that one Pal!  It was an awesome time, both during and after the hunt...man what a time.  Some great hunting under tough conditions...to put it mildly.

It was great seeing some old faces, meeting some new and having an all around good time.

Hats off to you Shawn, once again a fine time.

There are lots of stories to tell and we all had a great time over the two days. I am awful tired and pretty cut up. My right hand looks like it went thru a meat grinder, it has about 100 holes in it and several thorns I still have to pick out. I will say this we set a lot of records at this hunt. First and foremost was the money raised for the St. Judes Childrens Fund, Curt was alittle tired last night so the total was not quite right, but it is a whopping $1100 dollars!!! Thanks to everyone who donated to this great cause. I will name, names later. The next was the total of shots taken, 102 total(66 the 1st. day and 36 today) and than 3rd. the bunnies killed 4, all on  day one. The temps with windchill figured in at one point got down to -10 degrees also a record. I am gonna be back with more stories and I am sure guys will have more stories and pics as well. I have a special story to tell, but I will have trouble getting thru it as it was something that touched my heart. I will be on in the morning with more!! Thanks to everyone!! OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Shawn

Greg & I just got in. As we already knew from last year, we had a magnificent time!!!

Thanks to Shawn, C, & Jake for putting on another fantastic event.

It was great to see all the "old" faces we know & also to meet the others.
Hope to see everyone again next year.

What a weekend....It's just amazing what this hunt has become....It's not just a hunt anymore...it an experience!!!

Mr.Leonard (Jake),opens up his home to all of us and is still the toughest man I've ever met,but Shawns a close second!!!

Shawn and Cindy, You know I love you guys....You have a real special place in my heart...Thank You for everything!!

Shawn,the arrow doesn't seen like it's nearly enough to thank you for all you've enriched my life with since we met....but at least it's a reminder.

Here's more pix from day one....

Man, I had a great time meeting new friends, shooting arrows, great food, and spectaculsr hospitality of the Leonard family.  That raffle table was like going to Denton Hill.  The craftsmanship and generosity of this group was real special for everyone there & St Judes.  Thanks so much to you Shawn, Cindy, and your Dad!!!  I'd also like to thank David for picking me up.  I'll be back for the next JLMBH...Jeff
