Well we had 13 guys show up and lost 2 quick due to a family matter, but the hunt went on!! We had a blast and the 11 of us did the best we could!! Lots of action and we may of even killed a bunny or two!! You will have to wait for stories and such as I am starting to cramp up and have to nurse my wounds, lots of wildrose where we hunt!!

I myself made an assist and also one of the best shots in my life, which I will tell about in a bit!! We also will have a few pics, to post as well!! Keep watchin this thread!! Shawn

OK, I took a bath and am watching TCU game but here is a bit more. We took roughly 70 plus shots and we killed 5 bunnies! Tyler Williams who will be 16 tomorrow has been coming 2 these hunts for several years now killed his first today!! He has shot at many and hit a few but he shot one between the eyes today!! Homer(Matt) killed 2 today and missed as many as me!! Jeff Willliams(Tylers Dad) killed one as well and last but not least I made a decent shot on one as well. We had a blast and saw 30 plus bunnies today. Now hopefully others will be on to tell some stories!! We also had another catch and release which I hinted at in my earlier post. Pete(Mamba) hopefully will come on and tell his story!! To start it off I will say that this same rabbit was within a few inches of my boot and being shot at by several folks, all very safe by the way, when it finally come out of the pile and headed Petes way!! More to come! OOOHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Shawn

Well, I'm home and took my wet boots off. I only had an hour and 15 min ride home. But I gotta say, what a way to spend a New Years day! I was able to get off a few misses, but saw a whole lot more bunnies than I shot at. I think that it was as much fun as you could have with your clothes on.

Thanks again Shawn and Cindy!

Just got home, (3hrs) had 6 shots myself with no connections.
Had a blast as always! Shawn and Cindy are great hosts.

Here is Pete in action! He started to swing his bow at the rabbit but instead gave it a heave and I looked back at a puff of snow and out came Pete with bunny in hand!

Here is a photo of the successful hunters.

I had a great time and had one good shot at a rabbit going Mach 5, but shot right under him. Slung two more arrows at long range through thick brush. Killed a really nice sapling with one shot and I have no idea where the other one went.

Thanks again to Shawn and Cindy! What a great way to bring in the new year!

Great seeing you all again.

The old road at the first push.

For some reason I cant uppload Matt"s pic. Damn smart phones...

Catch and release.

"No no" the birthday boy. Happy Birthday T....congrats on the bunny!!

End result.

Shawn Leonard · « **Reply #16 on:** January 01, 2011, 10:19:00 PM »

Pete also let that bunny go, wasn't P&Y and not fair chase so he gave him a nice pet and gently let him go!! How cool is that??? I will have more in the morning, Matt and I had at least 10 shots each and we each missed a gimme or two!! Thanks guys, doing this with you all is the best medicine for me, ever!! Check out the smile on Tylers face and notice that arrow, right between the eyes!! Great shooting bud!! Shawn

GRINCH · « **Reply #17 on:** January 01, 2011, 10:24:00 PM »

Shawn thanks for taking us along,haven't seen that many bunnies in a long time not many around in lower alabama.

I have hunted a lot with Shawn and the guys. For me, it is on the same level as opening day, but better because of the friendships I have now. The excitement that builds....the hunts, the friends. The thorns.
This last year has been a bit rough for me. Im gald I have you guys around to chase bunnies with.
Thanks for introducing me to this stuff Shawn.

Oh, and I look like a cat climbed me. And I now need some reviews on boots, as the ones I wore today lost the battle with the multiflora rose bushes. I have never seen cordura rip like that...lol.
