They drew a line in the snow, daring any bunny to cross....

What a great event. Makes me wish I was not working a booth at a local sports show so I could have been there. Hopefully next year.

So we send the boy in some think pines to chase the rabbits out. I tell him to keep his eyes out for sheds while in there, 5 minutes later he drags this guy out! Much thanks to Ohne for letting him keep the buck that was found on his property! Thanks again buddy!

Look like great fun!

This was one of best hunting adventures I've been on. Fun in the snow, meeting new friends, and plenty of action. I agree this should be a yearly event.

I was lucky my warning shot from two feet deterred that vicious rabbit. I think if the rest of the guys hadn't come up the hill that rabbit would've come back to finish the job.

Thanks for everyone who helped put this together. This really was a lot of fun.

What a great way to spend a Saturday - met some new friends, and had some fast shooting at close range. Thanks Whip & Paul & everybody else that helped to bring this together. I sure hope we do this again next year.

BTW ChuckC - those rabbits aren't just mean, they're cruel too. I swear I heard one snickering at us as I passed his hidey-hole :D

Did you know Wisconsin bunnies eat bratsand cheese and they drink Leinies beer ? I heard they prefer the darker beers. Most of em are Packers fans too.

York... are you sure it was snickering you heard and not a big bunny burp ?

I had a great time meeting several more TradGangers at the bunny romp today and enjoyed being outdoors in Wisconsin's Winter Wonderland, even though the temp hovered just above zero. It was fun being a "beagle" for the shooters and taking pix of some of the action. I plan to have a "fun" story + pix about the bunny romp in the upcoming Spring TradArchers' World magazine. I'll be sure to get comments from some of the participants, too. Congrats to Dominic on his fine buck and to Jerry for putting that bully bunny in his place. That will certainly teach him a lesson about trying to intimidate us trad guys. This romp should become an annual event! Tom Colstad

We had so much fun yesterday I might just have to look into doing an out-of-state trip next year! What a good time!

Thanks to Paul, Joe and Ohne. Just the break from cabin fever we needed. Good to see old friend and meet new folks. I must say though that at 5 degrees below zero to start the day, I thought the boys might decide to spend time in the clubhouse instead of the rabbit thickets. Accordingly, I dressed rather light, expecting a morning mostly indoors. Jeans, no long underwear, and a wool shirt. Shouldn't have underestimated my Wisconsin (and Illinois) bretheren. Luckily, I did throw my parka in the truck, just in case (and my snowshoes). Warm enough after moving around a little.

Amazingly, everyone in the group of 10 or so who hunted Joe's place in the morning got at least one shot at a bunny, usually running and in the brush. The one I killed offered a better opportunity than most. He sat still for a moment, and my hex head made it through.

Great stuff!

Seems like a great bunch having a awesome time.
Awesome find too. Your bunnies are mean, they take down and chew up bigger deer than our coyotes do. :D

Thanks for sharing.

Bunny hunting rules!

(Even my hunting friends wince when I say that. They think it's odd I call them bunnies. Can't we find a fiercer, less cuddly word?!?)

So here's to leporicide!!!

:rolleyes: "[dntthnk]"

Great running pic of the bunny. All good pics of a good time I'm sure.
