EXCELLENT!
An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward.So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it's going to launch you into something great.

I know Jamie has the picture on his smart phone. I'm sure he'll be along with it...

I have sat and watched this thread unfold and smiled each time a new post or picture came up.......$2800, what a tribute to Shawn, Cindy and to all involved!!!!  I miss all of you and am sorry I missed this year......my parents 50th anniversary party was Saturday evening.  I am excited to see Ed was able to make it, that is awesome.

Great job to all!!!!!

Prayers go out for you Shawn..Just a short storie. Jeff and I where there at the far end of the first push. The kids where standing there.Lucy had her head buried in the snow under a bush.Just bawling.I said to Jeff if I didn't know any better that dogs on to a rabbit.We both just stood there and agreed.Yup must be.Just as we thought that. That bunny busted out and just about ran acrossed our feet.The guy next to us got a shot and so did the kids. Jeff and I just stood there with our (well we'll just call them bows in our hands) as that bunny passed by.We just look at each other. Go figure.That dog was right.I think the guy to our left was the one who drew that great picture that Shawn won. Someone should post a picture of that..One of a kind.That was the kick off for the 2011 J.L.M.B.H.Game on bunnies.

Pete, I would tell ya but, well you know.  :D  

I brought my nephew this year. He is almost twelve, and this was his first real exposurer to hunting other than a few sits during gun season.
He has been shooting since August, and was excited to go. Pete did a tremendous amount with Mike and his nephew Peter. The kid would not stop talking on the way home.
 

Along the first drive, the hedgerow, those of us on the push were alternating back and forth into the cover. The snow drifts made walking difficult at best.
The wind was whipping, and the drifts and thick cover were kicking out butts. On a much needed break, I saw a leafy dead oak branch. I thought there may be a bunny in there, and made my way over to it.
I have a habit of looking at stuff before I kick it, and wouldnt you know it I saw an eye blink. I drew, hit anchor, and the bunny didnt stand a chance. I believe this was my fifth bunny. Fourth head shot.  :)  of course at a range of two feet, it better be. Homer was kind enough to take this picture, after scolding me for not yelling "BUNNY" and kicking him out. LOL.
