Indiana January Bunny Romp

[b.glass]

Everytime this thread goes to the top we get another interested member! This is really gett'n good!
 

[sgrogg]

I might be able to make it too.  Depends on when and where.

[stevewills]

i think i just got 140 acres in crothersville bottoms from my uncle,15,20 acres of big thick grass flats...im ready...lets get it started

[Billy]

OK, how's this...?
Nighthawk - would you check the boy scout cabin?
b.glass - will you check Mississinewa cabin?
Steve - will you check on the cabins close to you?

Could someone chime in on winter camping in a "summer" tent. I'm thinking a ground pad and a fire pit are good must haves.

chessie - you are looking at roughly 450 to 500 miles one way supposing you came acrossed the pike/I70 to I71 and US50 into southern Indiana and about the same if we go with a northern destination.

.... it will fun, rabbit stew or not ...

[John Scifres]

Winter camping = the same as summer camping only colder.  May I recommend a sleeping bag and an air mattress.  Here's a nice way to do it   I really like the tarp and a good bag.  A mylar blanket helps if it gets sub 20 degrees.

Mike, when we figure out where we will certain let you know.

Terre Haute is central but extreme west if I remember correctly. Scott Co. has been suggested. That is not as far south as you can go and not as far east as you can go. So maybe 2-2 1/2 hrs. from you? It is about a 4 hr. drive for me. If I would take I-69 it would be a bit quicker.

Well you can pretty much count me in. I should be back up in IL. with in the week and should be there at least until Feb. and I can get off work pretty much when ever I want.
 
I still have an IL. doe tag too fill also.

I will get a motel room, us old guys need heat and hot water.

[Billy]

we will HAVE a fire and a pot to boil water..
   :D

dalanie lake does rent cabins in the winter time,cant reach anyone right now but have friends who know the owners...i almost had a rabbit run over me getting out of the stand lastnight.i thought ol mossy horns was running right at me and it was little cotton horn,i almost crapped myself.didnt have an arrow knocked.got my eye out for his fluffy butt....

[b.glass]

I figure it will be Mon. before I can find out anything. But I will let you know. I do know that they are at Francis Slocum State Park and that they can sleep up to 6. Outhouse toilets, no running water but they do have electricity.
And there are 8 or ten of them. Nice shower facilities in the campground IF they are open.
I doubt it that time of year.

[trapperDave]

they'll most likely have the water turned off.

[NightHawk]

Someone should check on the farmland conservation club. First rate facilities and several large fields that they run bird dogs in. I will check on the boyscout cabin at atterbury. I'll do it tomorrow (monday)

[NightHawk]

Are the dates January 16 to the 18?? for sure? Need to know to check on cabin

[meathead]

I've missed this thread, but I would be interested.  Some tender rabbit sounds pretty good.

[stevewills]

sounds good on the dates,i dont care if i have to drive up to michigan for some fluffy tail:)

[Billy]

YES, let's go with that weekend.
If, we wind up with some in cabins and some in tents, it'll make for good 'chatter'         around the fire              

JAN 16-18  Indiana Bunny Romp and Bull Flingin'...?location by next weekend?

[b.glass]

I will contact the guy that set up the last couple of shoots that they had at Farmland. I really expect it to be ok if there aren't other activities on the same dates.

We are up to about 2 doz. bowhunters now! This is great, I can hardly wait!

[Billy]

With the date set; I'm good!
I will probably not be online for a couple days. You folks pick the spot and let's fling some bu...arras    
Doesn't matter to me tents or cabins, north or south. If, I hafta cast a vote... a good campground.

[NightHawk]

boyscout cabin at atterbury is available that weekend. The cost is $90 dollars per day. It has showers,kitchenette and room to seat 50. Lady said you can throw a sleeping bag on the floor or use a cot.Floor is concrete
