Yep, The Jack took off over the sand dune with a small army of rabbit hungry, arrow flinging madmen in pursuit. Looking back it must have looked like an old version of Keystone Cops gone really bad. Anyway, after a fast and furious run in circle routine Jake found first blood-----ever! This was his first bunny and I was within ten yards to see the miracilous event unfold. The arrow actually connected! HeeHeee! It was as cool as it gets!!!!

In this desolate region of West Texas there is about 6" of measurable rainfall a year. Recently it's been recieving about 6" a day with little variation. This trip was right on track. The problem is that rainfall is very foreign here and acts like Kryptonite against the animals. When it would stop raining the animals still wouldn't come out to play like normal. Once it dried off though everything came to life. We were there to see it.

   

Oooopps! Wrong animal!

Lets see....We had a little forky Mulie pose for a few shots before he became bored and went back to eating.

   
   

Then the boys spotted a bunnies and had to show us their stalking skills.

I love these action, over-the-shoulder shots!

 

See the bunny under the bush? I'd say he's pretty safe although he is about to get a good scare!  :bigsmyl:  

 

I'll post a few more this evening. I hope to see you and your kids next year to share in our fun! CK

Great idea getting updates from "Pops". Not only doing something for the youngsters, but envolving a real old guy as well.  :D

You betcha! Fun was an understatment. Kinda funny that there aren't many responses here on this thread but my email is working hard keeping up with the Dad's wanting to know details for next years event. Maybe we'll call it "Kid Sweat", A youth style Texas Sweat. Way cool! Can't wait to host this event. CK

Thanks for a great hunt Cutis.

My little guy with Curtis.  He got his first ever kill with any weapon on this hunt.

CK, that sure looks like fun. Kudos for a great idea and putting smiles on young hunters.

I'm headed to SA this weekend, but a fast round trip to deliver a box trailer of household possesions to a friend who just moved there. I'd stop and say hey, but am riding in another fellow's truck and just helping with driving. A quick check on Lady Bird's roadside flower plantings and a plate full of Rudy's BBQ then back to Iowa.

Really looking forward to spending some time with 7th Age this winter after I get the local deer whipped into shape.

Man on man, that's gotta be a P&Y jack and a fine shot placement. Nice!

So, as soon as I turned on my cell phone leaving on Sunday morning I found out that my wife, her parents, and my two little girls 2 months and four years old were in a major car crash on Friday.  They are all ok with only my mother in law going to the hospital but the other driver who rearended them as they were going 30 totaled his truck and is still in the hospital.

She has created a new house rule:

When I go off hunting I have to give a more specific location than "west texas"

Hard to argue.

If anyone doubts how fast Curtis can move, you should see him spot a snake!

Skyler,

We'll have to get the skylers together and shoot sometime.  My Skyler is always checking out your posts.  As soon as he can pull a little more weight he wants to give the sting rays a go like you did.

Maybe we'll see you at the bunny hunt next year!
