Hi everyone, due to the fact I can no longer post on Tradgang, it has been very tough to put this years hunt together.
It is still on, but will not be the huge hunt I had hoped for, but it will be a great one!
It will be like always in the fact everyone should bring a prize or prizes to be donated to the raffle table.
Tickets will be $20 a wing span(Cindys) and you can purchase as many as you like.
This year as I have done the last couple of years there will be a cost to all coming of $40 a person(kids 16 and under are free)this will get you a wingspan of tickets as well. All of this, 100% of the money raised goes to the St. Judes Childrens Hosptal!!!!
I am than asking for $20 per person(again kids under 16 are free) to cover food for the weekend,!!(SO TOTAL WILL BE $60 A PERSON OVER 16 AND INCLUDE A WINGSPAN OF TICKETS AND ALL YOUR FOOD).
I have room for 40 guys and gals and kids to sleep right at the house.
If you would like a room the closest place is Glenmont NY which is ten minutes away!(google it) Rooms will run around $70 a night but again ya can stay at the house if you would like.
If you would like to bring some type of food dish that would be more than welcome. Chips, jerky and condiments are always good as well.
We can always use coffee,tea and cocoa and also paper plates, solo cups or styrafoam cups as well. Cereal and Milk for guys staying here. Plastic silverware and paper towels.
You guys can post what you are bringing so we dont get too much of one thing.
The most important thing is sports drinks and water, we need lots of them. Try and Bring what you figure you will need for a couple days as far as water or sports drinks go!! (AGAIN SPORT DRINKS AND WATER ARE VERY IMPORTANT)!!!
Guys who have done this hunt know how important it is to stay hydrated. WE will have potassium available to help with the cramping that someone always ends up with!!(ME! LOL!!)
Cindy and my girls will take care of all the food prep and the included food will be sub platters, pizza, wings and Cindys venison chili, chips and such as well any dishes you folks bring.
THE HUNT DATES WILL BE Feb. 15th. and 16th. you may arrive anytime after 7am on Saturday morning or if you let me know you may arrive Friday the 14th.
I can always use a bit of help setting up on Friday as long as I dont get too many guys.
There are tons of bunnies this year and I recently killed 9 in about an hr on one quick hunt with Molly. Dont worry it was in a spot we dont hunt much.
We will be doing the youth hunt and that starts at 10am. We will do the door plant and the horse pasture push with the kids and some adults.
We will than do our usual hunts, Old Road, Island of Trees and the Honey Hole, than unto the Squirrel woods and the circular field. We will end up in Rabbit Valley as always around dark. We will than head back to the house for dinner and the second best part of the hunt, THE RAFFLE!!!
Remember guys this is still about the hunt!! It is a hard, tough hunt but is well worth the effort. We have had some years where there were over 450 shots taken and as many as 19 rabbits killed in two days!! I cannot wait to see you all again!!
