Paul did a great job organizing this thing and getting it all put together. And the door prizes were all donations from his business, Badger Arrow. Many thanks to him for the generousity, and mostly for pulling this all together so that we could all have a good time.
My buddy Ohne Raasch was great in allowing one group to traipse around his land. I think it was his first time actually carrying a traditional bow with the intent of doing harm to animals. Hopefully we all showed him how much fun it can be without hurting anything!
The group at my house really got into the rabbits. Some may call it unfair baiting practices, but hey, I put all that feed out for the birds - not the rabbits! They just hang around the house to clean up the spilled seed.
Our group started out by sending some standers down below while some of us worked around the buildings to chase bunnies down toward the marsh. We got some running right away, and the arrows were flying and rabbits running in all directions. Some made it past the standers, and others doubled back toward the homestead.
Tom Colstad of the Bowyers Journal magazine (soon to be Traditional Archers World) was there with his camera instead of his bow trying to capture the action.
The snow was deep, and those with snowshoes outpaced the rest of us who slogged through the sometimes knee deep drifts.
But jumping creeks with snowshoes can be hazardous to your health!
