Memorable Moment of the weekend: was the first push of the day. I got 3 shots in the first 20 yards with newbie Emilio ("Amy") beside me. With "Amy" in amazement, watching me shoot, I think I turned on a bit of fire in him. Not 30 yards later I heard a good bit of commotion, and found out that "Amy" had shot and missed and got a second shot making a direct hit. Not bad for a new guy, 2 shots and 1 rabbit. It was a pleasure to have Emilio with us, he made a great hunting partner.
More stories to come...

Jim, thats not my kid thats my bro from Da Bronx.We're going bow fishing for stripers him and me     !  

           I forgot about Amy, he da man. 2 shots and a bunny down??? What ??? Great to meet Amy, hope to bump into him on the trail again.

           Great pics Shawn, I wanted to get that sunrise myself, it was a great one huh?

[Izzy]

When I tell you I saw bunnies run past me 30 times on the school push I am being conservative. It was a bunny swarm, a damn bunny apocalypse!!!                 Never seen nothing like that before. I missed 3 times on that push and had a few stop where it was too thick to shoot. Guru II and "Little Peter" were to my right and I got enough thrill just watching them shoot like 30 times or so between the 2 of them.

Made it back to Kansas finally. It's amazing the weather You can see in 7 different states in two days. From single digit temps and snow to almost 60 and driving rain.

Thank You Shawn and Cindy for hosting such a great hunt. I had the best time ever.

It was great meeting everyone and I appreciate everyone making me feel so welcome. I have wanted to go on the Bunny hunt since I've been on TradGang because it looked like a great time. And it was!!

The Bunny's were everywhere. It was so hectic at times You didn't know to shoot stomp or dive on them. I think I did a little of everything.

Thanks everyone for such a great time. I'm already trying to figure out how to make the next one.

And I need to say a special Thank You to Guru. He won a very nice kids recurve in the Raffle that someone donated. He was gracious enough to give it to me for My grandson Mark. Thanks buddy. Keep in touch everyone.

Dang just found another picker!!

[Gil Verwey]

I can't wait until next year.

Man I didn't go through half of the bad stuff you guys went through, but everyday I am finding pickers too.

Next year I am bringing tweezers and a pair of clippers.

Beautiful picture of my old truck! Ha! Nearly 400k miles and still going strong.

[bretto]

Emilio, little Peter and I sat out the last push on Sat eve. I don't know about them but I was hurting by then.

 As we stood at the top of the hill waiting on the others to return little Peter found a target of an old plastic gas can. That boy shot that can 50 times or more. It was nice to see so much enthusiasm at the end of a long day.

Like Big Ed said Peter and Cade are 2 super kids to be around. Both of these boys have been brought up right.

David

[Sean B]

Dave, my face ended up being pretty bloody, but I dint know if anyone got pics of it though, as for dead bunnies....I think there's a few that will be posted!!

[Shawn Leonard]

Yeah, we actually killed 6 and hit At least that many more!! There was a couple hundred shots taken In The two days! Curt should have some good pics.!! (OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Shawn

[Izzy]

They were tough to hit thats for sure. All of my misses were by fractions of an inch but not good enough. Grazed a few and slapped a few with the side of my arras but no blood drawn. I sometimes get just as much a kick outa missing them as I do connecting. More laughter involved.

[bretto]

I had several shots and should have taken more. I came close on a couple of shots. I got to help Pete chase down one of his rabbits.

The action was furious at times. With Bunnies going every direction and people hollering BUNNY in two or three places at once.

Shawn's advice to me was " You gotta let it fly ".

I'll be more prepared next time.

Quote from Cade "there's rabbits everywhere"! This was after emptying his quiver for the 2nd time.

I mmmmmissed 4 times! Shot behind two and over two. I also shot through 1 and blood trailed it to a fence onto airport property.

[larry]

c'mon guys, somebody must have taken some pics. It was bad enough missing it, but all this talk with no pics is killing me!  :(

[razorback]

Yeh some more pics would be great. I had been looking for this for a while and thought it wasn't happening. Was away from PowWow for a week and there is a dozen pages. Man was I bummed. Only consolation was that I had stuff on and wouldn't have been able to make it anyway. Whats the date for next year, i plan on making my plans now. Been to one and can't wait for another one.
So give us guys who couldn't/didn't make it something to be real jealous about, pleeeease

[Guru]

Ill get them up tonight
