Awesome man!!!

OK... Just for those who have never done this before I'll provide a little list of what you need and want to bring.

Food!! Everyone bring something to share.
Water- You will be walking a good bit.
Chaps- Briars... Just remember Brer Rabbit.
Arrows- Lots of them...
Points- We have been shooting field tips but I know a lot of guys who shoot broadheads and judos and blunts.

Camping is available I just need to know who wants to come on Friday so I can be there.

And guys... It's wet. I mean it's flat flooded this weekend. Which is good for us. It'll concentrate the rabbits. But bring mud boots.

I had generally requested before if anyone in attendance could bring a SPOT 360 chair that I would be able to look at.  So I just wanted to send out this reminder once again.

Thanks!!!

Terry had one at the Wild Things hog hunt. I'm not sure if he's going to be here or not. I don't have one. All I use is the hammock seat that I buy from Simply Traditional.

Jerry- Looking forward to seeing you and Luke. Been awhile. Always enjoy sharing a camp fire with you guys.

Alright guys here's the deal. 7:30 AM on Jan 4th we will be meeting at the Ingles on HWY 441 and HWY 16 in Eatonton, GA. My club is approximately 10 mins from there.

If you can't make the 7:30 deadline the directions to the club are as follows:

HWY 441 is a bypass around Eatonton GA. Coming From milledgeville, GA (or south) there is HWY 129 and 44 first where Wal MArt is. Next Road is Glennwood Springs RD. Turn left onto it. When the yellow lines stop (after you cross 2 bridges) look right and you will see my gate. There's a bumper sticker above it stating Murder Creek Bowhunters.

Coming from the north (I-20, Madison, Athens)you will come to A redlight right when you get into eatonton with a gas station on your right. Next light is HWY 16 and Ingles will be on the right. The next light is Glennwood Springs. Turn Right. Same thing... Go to the yellow lines stop. Look right....

Needs- Everyone bring some food and drinks to share.

Bring a chair.

it's going to be good guys. WE will have a fun time.

Thanks Jerry!

Guys it rained all night last night and is still drizzling here today. That's fine for the rabbit hunting but bring MUD BOOTS!!! Or water proof boots. Along with your chaps or double front carhartt's. We've got plenty of parking where it won't matter and I will be carrying you guys back to the hunt on a trailer and polaris ranger. So no need to worry about getting stuck and etc.

It was truly a pleasure. I'm going to get my photos together today and get them over here.

But I do have to ask...

How many times can a group of archers shoot at one rabbit...

James,

Thanks so much for organizing and hosting this hunt.

I don't know about other folks, but an archery hunt for rabbits over a pack of dogs is a rare experience for me.  Thanks for the opportunity to share it with my two boys and a great group of guys.

We had a great time!  

...and to answer your question I think the count on that last "wascally wabbit" was rabbit 9, archers 0.    :archer:

I went and had a great time. James was a gracious host and made this a very nice outing. I got to meet some new friends and say hello to some old ones. My personal score was 2, 1, and 0. That is, 2 rabbits seen, 1 shot taken, 0 hits. This is the first time I have hunted rabbits with a bow. Now, I understand why some of the TG members are so enthusiastic about bowhunting for them.

Justin and I had a great time yesterday as well.  Thanks again to James and William.  Justin was smiling all the way home.  Of course he had to rub it in all the way home about him being 13 and making the only kill of the day and how I missed twice!!! At least he offered me some shooting lessons.  We  made a great memory yesterday!!

He is not afraid to sling those arrows at a running bunny!  It was fun to hang with him as he has a great attitude.

That was really fun and I am glad I made the 3 hour drive.  I just had to see how guys hunt rabbits with dogs and now I know.  It is possible.

Thanks,
James
