this will be my first time attending this hunt and i'm more excited then i have ever been as there are so many people i want to meet and talk with.
  boy i bet it has been awhile since Killdeer had been considered a greenhorn at a hunt!   :D

[Stone Knife]

I hope Mike doesn't wear the pink panties on the outside of his camo this time, that would be a little embarrassing.   :eek:

[mcgroundstalker]

What Do Ya Mean "THIS TIME"? Geeeezzzzzz... You guys are killin' me!   :p  

... mike ... aka WAYSIAH ...

[Tdog]

I'm in ...put me down for pickin up the condiments... Mike is proud to be a part of team pink. Thats why he wears them on the out side.

[NOMAD88]

I'll be there.Undoubtedly the best bunny hunt ever.See you all there  

[Killdeer]

What size is the bra?  :confused:

[mcgroundstalker]

Hi Killdeer! Whatever ya do don't ask Joe to post pictures of that bra! I know it's cool lookin' cause I designed it myself.        Had a blast sewing arra heads to it. But it might just be tooooo HOT for this site.    :rolleyes:  

... mike ... aka WAYSIAH

Oh Yea..... It's one size fits all.

[joe skipp]

OK Killy....this is the most sought after prize in the raffle...designed by Ciccone...worn by Ciccone....and now rests neatly on a hanger in my archery shop..(My wife refused to wear it...even on Valentines Day).....Some lucky person will have the honor of bringing home for one year this masterful creation....

 

[adkmountainken]

i'll tell ya right now if i win it in a raffle i'll bust brush on one of the hunts in it with just my boots!!!

[ishiwannabe]

I sense the "pink theme" is going to be stronger this year...
David, put me down for coolers, ice. I will have to check the freezer to see what I have in the way of venison, pheasant and such.
Seeing those pictures cracked me up.
Also, I thought I would suggest that those of us that have a bird vest bring it so we dont have to hand carry the take....yes I do expect to beat last years numbers. Especially if Ru and that compound guy are both coming.  :D

[Killdeer]

What the yell have I gotten myself into?  

[ishiwannabe]

Ken....ya might want to check out thewild roses we walk over, under and through first.  

[adkmountainken]

yup, Chuck has told me all about them! i'm to dumb to feel pain any ways!          

[Shawn Leonard]

If ya fly in friday, I can arrange rides. I will be picking Killy up that day I believe. The airport is real close but unless ya come in on a twin engine or smaller ya have to use the Albany County airport. Mapquets the following:
16 Old School Road
Selkirk NY 12158     NYS liscenses are available on-line or at the local Wal-Mart which is 4 miles from the house and open 24 hours. You must be a Tradgang member and attend at least one day of the hunt to be eligible for the raffle. Tickets will be $20 for Cindy's wingspan(my wife) you can buy as many as you wish, I would like to get close to #3000 fo rthe kids this year. I still stress though that yes the raflle is awesome and the shooting in the yard is a blast, but this is still about getting cut up and sweating in 10 degree wheather to kill some bunnies!! I have recently signed some releases and such so this hunt and previous hunts ca be written about in national publications, so lets make this one to remember!! OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Shawn

[Shawn Leonard]

I will post some names and numbers of a few hotels and motels as we move along. this is the first day and we are on our way. We can empty two more rooms, so we will have room for 40 or so to sleep, ya need a pillow and a sleeping bag. If someone has room we could use some firewood for the back porch as I drink myself to sleep back there. I myself wear longunderwear and a sweatshirt and a very good pair of brush pants double walled cordura. If I do a lot of hunting in a year I go thru two pair as I get down and dirty. It is a good idea to carry a pair of small hand shears, why you ask? We are heading back to Briarback Mountain this year and also what we call the 3rd. valley back. This is not to mention the rabbit valley which is thick and nasty too! You may need them to cut you and a buddy out!! I will get more organised over the next two days and by the weekend I will be working to have this thing go smoothly. If anyone has anything for the raffle that cannot attend please E-mail me it is on the site now!! Thanks to everyone for everything!!! OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Some photos to bring back some fond memories.

Be careful wearing pink. It brings out the killer in my boys!
 

This beagle ran himself ragged trying to please this bunch of hunters. Shawn took matters into his own hands to make him feel appreciated! : )
 

This is a picture of some of the thin cover.
 

Don't forget the good grub!
 

This is where they release the bunny.
 

Shawn does a great job keeping everyone in line!
