3rd Annual WI Traditional Bunny Romp

[Bob B.]

Smoke 1953,

Wow, I am getting excited to attend this event  I went out today to try my hand at squirrels on our property.  The cruncy ice and snow kept me from getting close enough for a shot, but the stump shooting was a blast.

I have two questions,

1) do guys use Flu-flu's or reg. arrows.

2) any chance I can get directions from Dodgeville taking 18/151 East bound?

Thanks,

Bob.

Can't wait for coffee at 7. Paul if you need a scouting partner let me know.

Depending on the day, I could be up for some scouting as well!

[BowHuntingFool]

Damn......missed it! LOL! Thats good news though! Really looking forward to this hunt, its always a blast!

Bob, from Dodgeville take 18 around Mad town on the beltline continuing east out of Madison on 18 to the Deerfield turnoff(Hwy 73) head north on 73 through Deerfield and on to Marshall, turn east on Hwy 19, which is the main drag through Marshall, to Waterloo. In downtown Waterloo turn north on Hwy 89 for about 2 miles, at that point 89 takes a sharp 90 degree turn to the west however continue north instead on Hwy T for about a mile and I believe there is a sign for the Waterloo Sportsmans Club, take a left on Witt Ln. which deadends at the club. Hope to see ya there.

Thanks Smoke.

Hey Bob....please bring that Whip of yours....sure would like to shoot a few arrows thru her if you don't mind brother! I've never shot one, heard great things about em!

[smoke1953]

Bob do you really want to give your bow to a BowHuntingFool?

[Bob B.]

No worries, I was planning on huntng with my Hawk and bringing the Whip.  Pete McMiller wanted to see it as well.  I was kinda hoping to maybe see differnet bows and shoot a few myself.  If I can talk my buddy into comming he will bring his Dwyer Endeavor.  That is a fun little bow with some good quicks.

Anyhow, Smoke I reckon there is not a bigger bow hunting fool than me, so I will let anyone use the bow that wants to.      

Looking forward to meeting some of you tradgangers in person.

I just want to shoot one, heard great things! I'll have a couple Big Rivers and a Newwood Longbow for you to check out!

[Bob B.]

Joe, It would be cool to shoot a big river bow.  I ahve heard guys talk abotu them but I have never seen one.  I am looking forward to meeting you.

Bob.

[BowHuntingFool]

You'll love the Big River..... I sold my Mohawk when I got my first Big River, and I LOVED that Mohawk!    

This hunt is a good time, looking forward to it big time!

Bruce,
  Thanks for posting the directions.  If you are up to it and the weather permits we can go and explore the island next Monday.

[Whip]

I might be up for a little recon on Monday if you go.

[smoke1953]

I'm up for that. It's a pretty unique area and with the intersecting rivers being shallow and slow moving they are well frozen allowing there use as highways to sites that you couldn't get to before. Hopefully this link works but the wooded island north of the 90 deg turn on the road supposedly has a good population of bits.

Joe,

Is a Big River a D shaped bow?

Bob.

[Pete McMiller]

Bob,

John has made a D bow as well as the R/D.  I have one of each and will bring both.  His D bow that I have looks just like a HH Big Five while his R/D looks just like a Century 21.

Pete

[Bob B.]

Thanks Pete, is John still making bows?

Bob.

[Pete McMiller]

Yes, Bob, John is still making bows.

[Whip]

Paul, Is there any way to set up a couple of outside targets that could be used for trying each others bows outside the clubhouse?

[smoke1953]

They have the outside archery shooting area with a couple of elevated platforms but not sure if targets are there. I could bring a couple of targets along if needed. Let me know Paul.
