Buuuuuuny!!!!
« on: January 16, 2012, 11:33:00 AM »
A few fellas got out yesterday in Selkirk and we had a blast. Single digit temps and almost zero snow had us a bit worried but we wound up moving about 40 or so with who knows how many shots taken. Six shots counted  

                                                   Shawn : 2 Bunnies
                                                  Timmy K : 2 Bunnies
                                                  Jamie : 1 Bunny down and a couple of pass throughs that got away and as youd expect from Jamie,  at least 3 diving tackles.
                                                   Me: 1 Bunny
                                                   Homer : 1 Boone and Crocket Bull Field mouse. Damn near got him. Lots and lots of laughs and lots and lots of shooting, a super day.

Sounds like fun!!! With the deer season ending yesterday I have been thinking about a bunny safari myself!

To me, the ultimate challenge in bowhunting is not how far away you can succesfully make a killing shot but rather how close you can get to the animal before shooting.

The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

I took a "therapy walk" today in single digits. PT told me to get out and WALK as that torn ham string is giving me fits more now that I quit work!

Saturday, I did a couple miles on public land with the bow for deer (? Do they still exist in E. PA) and didn't even see tweetie birds in the wind and cold.  

Today, was just a planned walk around the block for exercise and headed down a dead end street to a old "tree nursery".  The uneven frozen ground seemed a better 'workout' than sidewalks.

I bounced a bunny too! But that boy took off like I had a load of 6's after his fanny...I stood and laughed. I dont think I could have unloaded the string that quickly!

Excellent fun the way it sounds...so nice to get out with buds and just hoot and hollar and have fun! Tasty too!

We had a bunny hunt the 1st week in Jan. It was the first time in many years we never even got a chance to shoot at one. Rabbit numbers seem extremely low this year in Illinois.

I thought about getting out but the population is very low here and for the last few years. I don't want to be the guy to shoot the last rabbit standing! But a pie would be nice...

Really sorry I had to back out of the hunt at the last minute fellas. But we "have to choose our battles" at home sometimes    "[dntthnk]"

Used to be a blast here too.  Now, yotes, fox, eagles, hawks have them nearly cleaned out.
