Title: S.E. Iowa Bunny Hunt 2008
Post by: thp on January 08, 2008, 12:40:00 PM
Is it being planned?  If so, I want in!  Missed it last year and it looked like a lot of fun.  

Saturdays are hard for me with my sons' high school wrestling schedule (Iowa and wrestling -- gotta love it!), so I may have to miss it again.  But it'd be a shame not to get this going again!

I`m in. Might be a little early yet. The Jan. antlerless season runs from the 11th to the 27th. Also don`t forget Jan 10th Iowa hunting license expires.

Sounds like fun, but I can't justify $100 to hunt bunnies for one weekend. Too bad IA doesn't have a 3 or 5 day license available.

Seem to be a good population of rabbits around this year, Shaun.  
  Off the topic, but since you all are here, if anyone is interested in snagging some spoonbill, I got the gear and a boat.  We always have a good time and have always caught fish.  Shoot me a PM if interested.  Maybe make it a stumping and snagging day.

P.S. A big THANK YOU to Lefty for taking me snagging for spoonbill yesterday, I had a blast.

I love spoonbills and their hide can be used for self bow backing. Lefty, save me a couple of 2" wide strips as long as you can manage or a whole hide off a bigun. Just freeze and I'll work out a pick up.

I will be on the road in Feb for UBM banquet and then on down to Texas. Also, the last weekend of Jan gone to Kazoo show. Let me know if a rabbit hunt breaks out sooner or at the end of Feb.

I'm interested too, if for no other reason than to meet a few area trad gangers.  I work a six on three off schedule, so my days off are always changing.  I'll have to see, when a date is made.  Sounds like it should be a good time, rabbits or no.   :thumbsup:

Doug,
  Thanks for pulling this back up.  Gotten so busy, I almost missed it.  I would definately be interested.  
 
Shaun, I will try and get a skin for you if we get any big ones.  This cold weather is going to ice the boat ramp back in, if it isn't careful.  But, we can snag till April 15, so let me know if you want to get out sometime, too.

Chris
