Yesterday a bunch of us hunted....and another first for Cade!
« on: January 13, 2013, 12:48:00 PM »
Yesterday a small bunch of TG'ers, and some friends got together at Shawn's to chase rabbits....it was a hunt beyond anyone's expectation!!

There were 10 of us to start. The way we hunt at Shawn's is kinda like driving deer. We send "watchers" around to the far end of the cover we're hunting, then the "pusher's" try to nudge the bunnies to the watchers.

Sometimes the pushers get the shots, but mostly it's the watchers that get to shoot.

Hopefully some of the other guys will get on here a tell their own stories of the hunt

1st push I set out the watchers and took the end spot. Cade was off to my left...
•      
•      

Lots of shooting, and a couple connections..."Indianabowman"(Terry), "Homer"(Matt),Shawn, and Gary...unbelievable start!
•      

Matt and Cade(aka-GuruII)...
•      

The watchers heading for the next patch of cover...Terry, Tim "TimmyK", Cade, and Matt...
•      

We gave them some time to in place and we started in...Shawn was the first to score about half way thru the push. Shortly after Shawn saw a rabbit between us and we closed in on it and it showed on my side of the briars. First shot appeared to to stun the rabbit with a grazing head shot, the 2nd shot was on the money!

Then, as usual, as we closed in on the watchers things got exciting and up ahead of me I hear the "whoops and hollers"....it sounded like they were yelling and congratulating Cade!

That's right...Cade had killed his 1st rabbit!!

He continues to make me so proud!
•      

How cool for Shawn and I to also kill a bunny on the same push as Cade killed his first ever...
•      

Hopefully someone will write the story of how Cade's hunt "happened"....I'd sure like to read it!

Some random shots....

Loading up to head down the road...
•  

Cade standing on a small roundbale, and Shawn working in behind him...
•  
•  

Down the gauntlet...
•  

On one of the pushes along the "Hedgerow", there were a few of us waiting for the watchers to get into position. We were just talking when I look down and start looking at the cover around me and see a bunny trying to hide under a small log. Since I'd already killed a bunny, I called Matt in to shoot it.

He made a good shot but somehow the rabbit got going and was finished off by Timmy down the line....bunny #6!!!

Then on the "Island of Trees" push, Shawn and I doubled up again...
•  

Shawn, Tim, Matt, and Glen "Glenbo"..
•  

Like I said hopefully some other will fill in on their hunts. Because we killed more bunnies than we ever could have expected!

The final tally was 12!!! And the last 1 1/2hrs there were only 8 of us!

A very tired, and very hungry bunch of bunny hunters heading back to "basecamp"...

That looks like a great hunt to me.  I wish I had a group of guys around here into trad archery and do the same on bunnies.  I love rabbit cooked in cream of mushroom the crock pot.

What quiver does Cade (GURUII) use? I like that deer print embroidered into the leather.

Way to go guys! Some of my most memorable memories as a kid was rabbit hunting.Love them shreded up while frying them in a skillet with lots of chopped up onions and sage.
