2006,,It wasn't the bunny stomp yet, Steve is totally resposible for what it is now but the door was opened and something started. A lot of folks were interested. Steve has totally made this hunt what it is now and its such a great hunt. Many helpers indeed get it all done but I think Steve seen the possibility this had and has run with it with excellent turnouts and it seems everyone goes away saying they can't wait till next year.

Thanks to everyone who helps out this hunt does so much more than just fling arrows and shoot the bull.. it actually gives to children that need our help. I'm really looking forward to it this year.
I cant wait!! I know I will be there and is sounds like Pops will be there again as well.
I will get there when I can. We all know I will be late anyways!! :smileystooges:
I'm planning on coming- at least I told the wife about it..... :thumbsup:
Where abouts in MI is this gonna be? I may be able to make it up there.
Ken
Ken,
SLEEPY HOLLOW STATE PARK is about 8 miles east(and a tick north) of the I69/US.127 junction.
About 15mi.NE of Lansing. or, about 3 miles from my house.
I will be there with an AMBUSH for donation
Chuck and Jim you guys are awesome donating bows!! :thumbsup: :notworthy:
Jim a BIG thank you as this is the SECOND bow you've donated to the Stomp! Chuck, that is AWESOME and another Big thank you!
Looks like we'll have some work to do..
Steve did you get the info to MTB and MLA yet? If not let me know.
Couple days left to chase deer then, it's scouting out for Bunnies!
Thanks Jay !!
You guys are something else...it looks as if the christmas giving spirit is kicking in!!! Thanks for the support...The TWOTRACKS AMBUSH RECURVE will be an auction item as well as the FIREFLY.
Jay ..i think i still have a box of your clay pigeons and i'll come up with some backstops too..... If anyone has any "beater" targets that can withstand a little more punishment bring them along. :thumbsup:
wow it's that time already. Now remember LOTS of pics.<><
I hesitate to say this thinking I may just jinx myself, but it is on the calendar and I am looking forward to it! I made it to the very, very first one when it was just a handful of guys and have been trying to get back to see how it has grown ever since.
:thumbsup:
Daisy and I are in!!
Barring any unforeseen work commitments, I will be there and try to bring 2 guys that are new to trad archery. I used to hunt Beagles in the 80's, they are absolutely the best dogs to hunt behind. I had the 1982 Michigan state Gundog Champion. He won 2 huge trophies and our pictures landed in a book titled "The Beagle". Wish he was still around to bring along. Can't bring him but I will bring raffle prize and some grub!
Robert...looking forward to meeting you...I'd love to check that book out...There will be some beagle lovers there for sure...Roger Norris has a pup he'll be bringing plus a few others have some beagles.... this is a great event to bring your buds to !
Lets get to stomping!!!
I'll be there with a Predator or 2 and maybe a couple of old Bears. I'll see what I can scrounge up for raffle donations as well. I haven't had time to work on the aerial launcher but should be able to get something done by then. Let me know what time I need to be there to help set up.
Looking forward to it.. Will be my first and you guys have me excited. I will be bringing a new ASAT insulated jacket for the raffle..
We are looking forward to our first Bunny Stomp heard great things about it.
I'll have my 1962, 62" grizzly and who knows what for arrows,,LOL,,J
Awesome guys!! Make sure the iron bunny is mandatory! Ya can't hunt if ya don't shoot at it! Wishing you the best of times!! Shawn
Nice Jay! That would be a treat to smoke a bunny with the old Bear!
MERRY CHRISTMAS ..UP FOR THE STOMP!!
I got some new Hammer Heads to try on some bunnies this year!! :thumbsup:
:thumbsup:

Don't have much to donate... will prolly be a few jars of my wifey's homemade jam or jelly. Will have to see what fruit we have left in the freezer for her to concoct up some sugary goodness. Maybe a few other things I can round up. :thumbsup:
Will have my Kabekona longbow and possibly bring along the old Bear K-mag.
Looking forward to meeting you all.
There will be 4 counting myself
Just found some "good medicine" for bunnies. I was playing with 9mm cases on the front of wood shafts. They worked at short range but were a little too light. I found that the 9mm cases fit snug over an 11/32 field tip and work perfectly!!
Keep that Jam away from Arwin !!! :thumbsup:
Arwin ..sounds like you have a killing combo with the blunts.
I really want to go, need to see if I can get the time off work. Any one know of hotels close by?
Michael...depending on your plans.... the closest town will be St Johns....otherwise you'd probably be looking at Mt pleasant area....which is about an hour north of St. Johns...There's the soaring eagle casino plus some other hotels...Hope you can make it! Traverse is roughly 3 hours from St Johns
Stickbowguy, Dewitt is real close(about as close as STJ) and they have a major hotel right there at the 27/69 junction. About 10mi away. No casino tho.haha
Chuck
The raffle table already sounds great!!! Thanks guys :thumbsup:
I will be buying LOTS of raffle tickets this year :D

Arwin... that sounds like a winner. May have to take the Glock to the range to get some empty casings... :thumbsup:
We are really lookingforward to being there as well.
We will be bringing a youth Longbow for the raffle as well. We will post some pictures of it when it is finished. We are thinking of something with an Osage riser 48" long
The 9mm case over the 125 sounds like it might work. I made up a heavy arrow just for rabbit, in one of the last issues of TBH mag there was a story about using a fish arrow because most shots are close range and into heavy brush. I have not tested mine yet but looks like I may get a chance. The arrow weights over 1100gr so it should pack a punch
This is always a blast. The only bummer is my son Kyle wont be with me, he will be in boot camp for the US ARMY.

Those 9mm cases over the 11/32 fit great!!!! I had to separate them with 2 sets of pliers and this was without using glue. I pick up the cases from a target range on public land. Great way to remove some of the shell litter. :thumbsup:

That will be awesome! A childrens bow for a childs cause. :thumbsup:
That reminds me, be sure to bring along some kids!!!! Small game age requirement in Michigan is only 10. Would be great to see a kid take that bow home and use it after the raffle. :thumbsup:
Good luck guys I,m sure you'll have a blast
QuoteTBH mag there was a story about using a fish arrow
That would be great,, I would leave the string and the head on,,them rabbits tend to like to run after a pass through shot,, this way your can real them right back in,,LOL,,
ttt
Boy it would be awesome if we could have todays weather for the stomp. It's nice out!!
Terry -
I remember Kyle from a few years ago. Hard to believe how time flies! I wish the very best to both of you!! U.S. ARMY!! Tell him THANKS!
Dick

Oh yeah.. sunny but cold. :thumbsup: Was a great break in the weather we've been having.
I seem to remember it being real nice in our area last year (sitting at work while you guys were having fun!! :banghead: ) Not sure how it was up yonder though.
I just read in the classifieds of the new TBH of a "New Rabbit Arrow" for sale. I wonder what it could be? When I started hunting small game with a bow years ago, a rabbit arrow was one you planned on looking for in the spring. If you looked at all. Boy! I lost a few of em.
Chuck
Maybe that arrow puts a little salt on the bunnies tail. :bigsmyl:
i will be bringing one possibly two more.

Jason,
You are dedicated! :notworthy: It hasn't broken the 10 degree mark yet today in this neck of the woods. I don't imagine good old Rosie is with you anymore. Do you have another "bawlin' partner"?
Did the stomp last year for the first time. Had a great time. See evryone again this year. Mike
A group of us did a little bunny warm up today..... The first bunny we saw Jashu arrowed with a flu flu..... the last thing i saw was a big ball of pink fletching going in the hole with the rabbit :thumbsup: Looking forward to seeing everyone at the stomp!!
Was headed out today with a buddy but the single digit temps made it easy to "sacrafice" and get some of the to do list done.. :-)
man Jashu arrows that thing as it was stretched out for the hole,, :biglaugh: I thought for sure his dog had gottwn ahold of it,,
Dick,,Rosie is still kickin but no longer hunts as her old dog days have kicked in and she pretty much just lounges around,,LOL,,J
Steve,
The Hot Pink "heat seeking missile's" are ready for the raffle. Take us to the Bunnies :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Where handling it different this year and asking everyone to bring something for the raffle in lieu of hitting up a lot of companies for donations (although those are tremendously appreciated amd we will have some!)
So I doubt we'll be able to compile a list expect of those items posted on here.
Good luck fellow bunny hunters!!

Was looking forward to this hunt, but doctors have decided I need surgery on the 16th, hopefully I'l see some of you guys at K-zoo, good news is, this should be the last one to fix this leg, as well as they can. Todd
Todd ..sorry you cant make it this year... next year for sure!! Hope the surgery goes ok and your leg heals quickly.
TTT
Todd hope all goes well. Maybe I will bump into ya at the Kzoo expo.
jacobsladder... you have a PM.
Todd I was looking forward to meeting you there as well Hope to see you in Kzoo. I Hope the surgery goes well
Thanks guys, surgery shouldn't be a big deal, just poor timing on there part I've been trying to get this scheduled since Dec. I'm having a piece of bone removed that came out of the steel bands holding femur together, should end up with a 2-3" cut on inside of thigh and a few staples. If Michelle won't kill me I may try to show up for lunch, novelties and the raffles, walking a bunch is probably a poor idea. Thanks again! Todd
todd, hope the surgery goes well...bring a lawn chair and we'll prop you up next to the fireplace, food and a whole lot of bows!
I'm still working on trying to make it down. Son has 2 b-ball games that day, and I'm the coach.... trying to work on another parent to take over for me, but its like pulling teeth around here to have someone step up for a day....
I'll keep you guys informed as I hammer this out.
Dave, them boys are old enough they dont need a coach for a couple games!! Come and have some fun with us!! :biglaugh:
Dave, those boys need a coach at the Bunny Stomp :D Get them out of the gym and out in the woods!!
I'd REALLY like to bring my son and have him tag along with his longbow... not sure how well that would go over with my other half.....
Don't give up on me yet!
There's only (1) bunny stomp per year.... bball games are a dime a dozen :D
Dave won't show, he's scared of the iron bunny...that's the rumor I heard. :biglaugh:
Man you guys are rough!! :eek:
It's NOT the iron bunny that scares me, its MISSING the hole in the middle of it that makes quiver..... although it can't be any worse than shooting my glen del buck with its mighty steel band just below the insert.... shattered 4 arrows on that thing this fall. I'll be having a talk with my son and see if I can get him on my side, he can break the ice with mom...

Last few weeks I've been racking my brain what I could bring for the raffle. Don't really have extras of anything worth donating... but yesterday while digging something out of the barn I noticed a few things that have been sitting there since last spring. ;) I figured since the mice haven't eaten them yet it was a sign. :p
So I will be bringing a few wing bone yelpers for the raffle, Just in time to practice for the spring season.
I am not certain how they will be decorated, but they will be a wee bit fancier than these. What is brought to the raffle will be similar to the picture... ya know made out of wild turkey wing bones. :smileystooges:
(http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e116/ke5etx/DSC02710copy.jpg)
sweet John! Love the wingbone yelpers.
No worries on the Iron Bunny, we all donate a lot of arrows! We're just giving Dave a hard time, 'cause we have to! Hope to meet ya at kzoo if not we'll catch up at the Stomp..
Awesome!

Looking forward to the pix!

Chad those look awesome! Love the custom wraps.
As for the tooling? I'm not very creative but maybe "MICHIGAN ANNUAL ST JUDE BUNNY STOMP 2010" ??

Hey All !! Looking forward to seeing all at the stomp!
Now that Kalamazoo is over it's time to start really looking forward to this!! Should be a great time and it sounds like we should have a great turn out this year!! :thumbsup:
Your right Tim, I can't wait!
Now we can all bring out our new toys from Kzoo and get them all scratched up in the bunny brush :thumbsup:
Yeah buddy that sounds like more fun than any one person should be aloud to have!! :archer:
I'm hoping for a couple inches of snow on the ground before the Stomp. It's pretty bare over there now. :cool:
Sleepy has some brush, especially the wabbit islands! I remember seeing a beautiful robertson recurve get pitched a few years ago 'cause the owner was tangled up pretty good.
:thumbsup:
I know we are really looking forward to busting some bunnies. The grandsons keep asking me almost every weekend how much longer to the bunny hunt?
There should be about 5 of us Greenvillians swarming on the grounds this year!

We're supposed to get some snow tomorrow! Yeah! 8-12" :D :thumbsup:
As for bows, I'll be using my bunny huntin special a river raisin recurve. I might bring the Firefly with the carbon limbs so people can check those out.
Just a reminder, it's $6 to get into the park for the day unless you have a new State Park sticker. If you don't pay at the entrance booth, they'll ticket you for the $6 to be paid at the ranger station.
Also try to find your arrows the best you can, I usually do a couple trips after the stomp to look for lost arrows...let's leave the park as clean as we can!
Everyone try and bring a dish to pass..i'll have drinks, foam plates, bowls, napkins etc...
this is buffet style...we will have a food table and everyone can help themselves....
If anyone has an extra burner or grill bring one along...i will have 1 turkey cooker burner there...also, i will have wood for the fire ..
do not worry about being cold..the fireplace provides plenty of heat!
What is everybody bringing for food?
Are we going to hit the same area as the last couple years? I know we talked about moving to another location inside of sleepy hollow I was just curious if there were other pavillions setup similar to the one we have used in the past.
Tim, we're going to stay at the same pavillion the others don't have fireplaces and are in real open areas...yeah never know with the wind.
I know I'm going to encourage everyone to check out some other areas of the park for hunting. I got a couple spots lined up!
Hmm, better kick some food ideas around I haven't planned anything yet.
If the wife and doc permit it I will be there for lunch, [ if I make it I'll bring a couple of pans of homemade apple cobbler ] raffles and to feed the iron bunny got a couple of carbons that need a dirt nap! I will bring a couple of bows as well. Todd
Great Northern super ghost 51@27
Kota Kill-um 50@28
Sturgeon skinnned self bow 60@27
Sounds good Drew!
Hope you can make it Todd!!
Drew...are these other hunting locations within walking distance of the pavillion..or will we have to drive...just curious..thanks.
TIME FLYS ..when you're having fun..... the stomp is getting closer fellows!!!
Man I am ready!!
Crazy snow today!!! Yup I'm ready!!!!
If it gonna be winter we might just as well have snow on the ground.... :archer:
oooooooooooooooooohhhh yeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
one more weekend to get ready and than it's here
good luck guys :thumbsup:
Just a week and day and we will be chasing bunnies at this time. Anybody decide what their bringing for food? Table seems a little empty right now. :)

Getting close guys!!!!!!! 1 week to go!!!!

The forecast says around 30 degrees and possible snow flurries. That sounds perfect for some bunny killin!!
Lookin forward to seein you and pops Tim...sorry we couldnt chat longer at the expo.... !! :thumbsup:
No worries man. We will see you next Saturday! :thumbsup:
Anybody ready to kill some bunnies?
:bigsmyl:
yes :bigsmyl:
Happy valentines!!! does anyone have a portable charcoal kettle grill they can bring along?...i thought i'd bring my venison bean dish..plus a bunch of hotdogs for folks that want chili dogs or any kids that want hot dogs...i'll have a turkey burner also.... I also have plastic ware, foam cups, dishes , plates, napkins and drinks.... water, and some 2 liters of pop.
I will also have 4 straw bales with targets, the iron bunny, and firewood.
If the snow stays this deep it will unfortunately keep the bunnies close to their holes..so the hunting will be tough.but we will have a great time hunting, shooting arrows, shooting the bull, and eating like kings!!!!!!
Guys I think I'll make it.... If so am I still welcome to come ??..
Cody of course your welcome!!!!!! This is an event for everyone!!!! Bring your bows, buds, and beagles!!!!
Ok man I didnt know if there was a date that I had to signed up by...

cant wait
Steve,
I can bring my grill and charcoal.
Good luck guys. I just have to say, (not to turn up the heat because we want cold but,) there's no way you guys will have more fun than us NY'ers.
Have fun be safe and I ma looking forward to all the post hunt pics and stories. :wavey:
Terry..thank you...that will be very helpful!!!!!
I'll have venison chili to slop over them dogs....yummy!!!!!!!!!
Sounds good.mmmmmmm
anybody seen "harmless" Dave from fowlerville?
Steve, do you have any idea of a head count? Seems like a lot less people posting here than in years past.
Tim...there has been less posting..might be economy related..but for the most part we should have the same group..plus i can think of close to 15-20 newbies that havent been there... We'll be pushing 15-20 from just my trad league...and some of those are new faces. I'm going to guess it will be about the same...It seems as if the posting has dried up on the mtb and mla forums also.... I wouldnt be surprised if we have are normal 50 hunters...We also had it advertise in sticktalk......the more the merrier ..looking forward to it.!!!!
Sounds great man. I was hoping we would have a good turn out. I was just starting to get a little worried.
Hey guys..i just did a quick run down off the top of my head and i came up with between 40-50 hunters that have committed.... Lets grab our buddies, their kids and introduce someone to traditional archery...... It would be great to break the 50 mark this year..we'll see you saturday !!!!!!!
I WILL BE THERE AND AM BRINGING AT LEAST TWO OTHERS.
Chad thats great...we've got a number of folks that arent on the internet coming also..... i just compiled another list and were between 50-60...hopefully everyone can make it!!! This could be a record breaking year!
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Well boys, it's not going to happen for me this year. I've been trying to get things in order for me to make it down but just can't swing it.
Have to be coaching at my son's games. This will be his last year of b-ball on saturdays, next year will be 7th grade ball during the week. I am marking my calendar for next years stomp. Have a great time- smoke an arrow or two for me through the iron bunny- and be safe to everyone. Dave
Dave..we'll save a bunny for you next year..lol.... plus a spot at the fire at buckjam 2010.
Steve,
I'm still working on the MO hunt. Been a busy winter for me, doing too much service work and not enough desk time..... I'll get in touch with you soon, may have a line on a late march scouting trip (couple guys heading out- may be able to join them). I'll PM you when I get more details.

Will there be a swap meet or a table to sell items at? I have a bow,a KOM Bushman shirt, some other old camo that doesn't fit and a few other items that I could bring to sell.
Robert ... unfortunately we dont have a table to sell items at. Our goal is to hold a raffle and auction to benefit the St Jude children. I like the idea but am afraid it would distract from the main cause. You can surely bring an extra bow to see if someone has interest. We also appreciate any donations to the raffle table... We do our best to try and send everyone home with something...looking forward to seeing you all on saturday!!

I know I will be there, Mitch might come again too and his brother Brent but I'm not 100% sure if they are coming. We have been talking about it since November haha. Brent has a beagle, great dog, and I'm trying to have him bring her if he comes. Looking forward to coming again, had a blast last year.
Jack

Finished the wingbones for the raffle. Turned out a little more "fragile" than I expected (not sure the beads and junk would stay on if used roughly in the woods.) The calls won't fall apart but may not be as eye appealing afterward. :smileystooges:
I also came down very sick and have not tuned them at all. ( Just so ya know, I have wiped them with bleach wipes just in case :rolleyes: ). I feel like I am letting people down but they are what the are and I am happy with how they look.
Praying this crud goes away before Saturday, or at least enough that I can come up and join y'all. :banghead:
Oh yea... here's a pic of them:
(http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e116/ke5etx/Finishedwingbones.jpg)
Finished with artificial sinew, leather lanyard and misc wild turkey feathers.
Crossing my fingers to meet y'all on Saturday.
Those calls turned out awesome John. I hope you feel better and can make it this Saturday.
John..thanks for the effort in making such sweet calls....youve got a week to heal and we'll see you saturday...
Jack ..looking forward to seeing you again, bring your buds and that beagle....

Good Luck fellas :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
You to Curt!! :campfire: :archer:

Good Ideal I been to St. Johns I dont know how many times I still seam to get lost...
What a pretty day for this event, looking forward to pics and stories, really sorry i missed it, hope everyone had a great time, thanks for putting in so much of your time putting this together to raise money for the kids, and bringing a bunch of trad gangers together to have a good time. Good job guys, makes me proud to be a member here! Todd
Great time everyone. The weather was super, bunnies all over darn near got trampled by a small herd of em, and the food was fantastic as always.
Ok just one small lie in my last post. :bigsmyl:
You guys I'll bet had a fantastic day... I'm wondering who taught Steve how to cook :bigsmyl: I can't wait for the pictures...
Chudk: So what was the "Test driver ambush" you brought, gotta hear about the woods...
WOW! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN MICHIGAN... PICS COMING SOON!
I have so many folks to thank for making such a great event. First all that showed up early to shovel snow, set up tables, set up straw bales for targets.... To all that donated raffle items and took the time to build custom quivers, turkey calls etc. To the vendors ..Braveheart, St Joe River bows, Firefly bows, and Two tracks bows... thank you all for showing up and donating your time and talents. And to everyone that traveled from a long distance in our rough michigan economy... All of you michigan folks make this event what it is. We definitely pushed 60 hunters this year and i think it was our largest turn out yet ! Most all folks saw at least a few rabbits , but the rabbits all managed to escape this year.. :clapper:
Well, I just got back from one of the best days I have had hunting this year. I had forgotten how much fun it is to chase bunnies with a longbow and wood arrows.
I also had no idea ( I should get on here more often) how many of you got together to pull this off and the good work that everyone did today. I saw many good friends today that I am very proud of.
Roger Norris and the guys with the beagles thanks for dragging me along and sharing with me a fantastic afternoon in the woods.
You all are wonderful!
What a great day!! Steve, I can't thank you enough for organizing this event. GREAT job!!
John, I'm so glad you came up, it was nice seeeing you relax and fun rather than work your tail off at an event.
Mike Goodwins beagles, Gunner and Duke taught my young Daisy quite a bit. What an awesome group of guys!
Roger...i wasnt sure what time you left....but, later in the day the snow had warmed up and the scent was really sticking good....mikes dogs were really hammering down on bunnies late in the day....and the bunnies were just toying with the beagles.... thanks again for your support and bringing the pup.
Great day indeed...most groups saw rabbits, but the crunchy snow kept them out in front a ways.
Good food, fun at the iron bunny, great friends, all for a great cause.
Thanks for all the raffle table donations even though Tim and Kevin CLEANED UP, LOL!
Doug congrats on the new bow, and thanks to Chuck for the donation. I gotta order one of those, soon!
Kevin congrats on the new bow, too! Mr. Jones thanks for the donation, I hope you can glue up some scraps for Kevin, LOL!
I'll get a story written up for the local mags.
This was too much fun.... To bad you didnt get a video or pic of when I face planted my head in the snow runing after the squirrel in tree :biglaugh: :biglaugh: :biglaugh:
Thanks guys for putting on a great hunt.. Cant wait tell next year...
Cody
Hey Steve - we were down there with Mike, but I left about 4:00....Mikes dogs did get on a good race right about then. Those are 2 great dogs....LOVE thier bawling howl!!
Dang Cody! did I miss you on a good wipeout?
It was great to see some old friends and put a face to some of the new names. We had fun. Thanks to Steve and all the others to organize this shin-dig. Good job fellas.$1775 Nice!
Chuck
yep..cody went on a mad dash after a red squirrel... i think the squirrel about dropped a nut when he saw cody take a spill in the snow bank.... but it only took cody a matter of seconds to have an arrow nocked and to send that red squirrel skipping....... :biglaugh:
MAN, I NEVER GET TO SEE THE RELLY GOOD STUFF.

Arwin...thanks for getting some action pics.... It was a pleasure meeting your mom (such a sweet lady)and always good to see your daughter..thanks again for the great hats on the raffle table and making the trip .
Glad to share!! :cool: That was an awesome time. We saw rabbit at the end of the day while shooting grass clumps. I was going to fetch my arrow and a bunny went zipping off, LOL! Perfect weather, everything was great. :thumbsup:
I think we recruited another traditional member, my mom. She had a blast at the target range and trudging through the brush. :D She has a Bear Tar Tar 30# and some woodies I made up for her. I wouldn't be surprised if she got into deer hunting. :thumbsup:
Here are some video clips:

Had a blast as always!! Already looking forward to next year... especially if the raffle is as kind as it was this year :D
Special thanks to Two Tracks Bow and Firefly Bow for their generous donations!!! I was fortunate enough to get the high bid on the firefly, I told Jim to make it 62" and 62 lbs but to surprise me with the rest! Cant wait to see what he comes up with!
Definately the best weather we've had, could not have been any nicer.
Oh yeah, Steve, I'm still farting out your chili, LOL!!
What a great day and getting to meet so many great people that all wanted to help the kids at St. Judes. $1775.00 :clapper:
Steve We were glad to make the donation of the youth bow. Let us know what you would like for 2011 and we will be there.
Sorry we took off to early to see Cody do the nose dive. :biglaugh: Anybody get that on video?
:notworthy:
What do you think about a St. Judes Carp shoot??? :readit:
My wife was looking at these pictures and she said "Does EVERYONE you know wear a Stormy Kromer?"
I guess it's the "Michigan Cowboy Hat"
Looks like a god time was had.....well done!!! :clapper:

It may have been unintentional but Ron had it right!!
Thank you folks for what you do for the children who need our help.
Was there only one Hill bow shooter there?
God bless,Mudd
mudd a couple present shoot hill style bows.
Big thanks to St. Joe River for their youth bow donation and making their way up to Sleepy too!
hmm a carp stomp for st. judes, we might have to work on that!
Carp stomp for St. Judes... I am IN!!! Todwheelz shoot me a PM, lets get something set up :thumbsup:
Another beautiful day! 2 Years in a row. Fun crowd, better hunting, lots of chow, and good fund raiser! Thanks to all who brought their dogs too.
A few highlights:
Conditions in the AM were tough for the dogs, but I almost got a shot at a bunny.
From the raffle I took home a home-made turkey wing bone call, a pack of Tusker Broadheads, and a cool call that calls deer, ducks, and hogs, some deer scent and a couple of other things! I was pretty lucky this year.
Of note: that multi-function deer call is quite nice, I played with it a bit this AM and found it to be a very good call.
I saw Chuck from Two Tracks dry fire one of his 50# longbows at a 29-30" draw! So we know they are durable! I really liked the way it shot.
Cody was in on the crew tearing up targets with his 1 of a kind Hill style longbow, of which I am quite jealous of!
Again I got to shoot a lot of different bows, always fun.
Thanks again to all who set this up and provided targets and all, it was a good turnout and fund raiser.
A summer Carp shoot sounds like a good idea too!
Hey Cody,
I saw your "Olimpic try out" face dive. That Squirrel laughed so hard, he almost fell out of the tree.
I also had a wonderful time visiting with so many great people that all have the same interest in Traditional archery. Thanks to all who donated their time for such a great event. Jim @ Firefly Bows
We had a great time at the stomp, must thank Arwin for the invite to come, we'll be there regularly from now on.
Big congrats to steve and whom ever help put it on its alot of work and they did a great job.
We seen 2 bunnys,loosed 1 arrow,won some stuff and met a lot of good people to top it off the food was great.
Could not have been much better.
Great job for St jude. :clapper:
This was my first year at the stomp. I had a great time and even ran into a couple old friends that I didn't even know were into traditional archery! I gotta thank Steve for organizing this event and for being nice enough to let me catch a ride up there with him. Great job everyone on the raffle. There was some seriously cool things there and some folks have some real skills which were evident by the things they made for this event. I'll be going back for sure.
Cody, Would you please let me know next year if you plan on another Face Plant Dive. I surely would have stayed for that. We should look into making that part of the Fundraiser. We could Judge the event and all! Seriously though it was good seeing everyone and I look forward to next year. Steve Thanks for a Great event, cudos to you and all who put it on.
Come on Matt, gimme a break that nock had no right to break like that. You would think that I would have learned with that bunch of arrows, That is the third time a nock broke upon release with that bunch of flu flu's.
Yes things were an absolute Blast I had great fun!!!!
Well, the plan was to be at the Stomp, but work got in the way. Sorry I missed all the fun. One question, who walked away with the "Hot Pink Bunny Busters"?
Well, I don't know about bunny busters...but Steve AKA:Jacobsladder had arrow busters! DON'T shoot with steve unless you have verified that he is shooting field points! OR wait until he is done shooting before your turn. That is all I will say!
Matt....... you are too much.. i promise next year i will shoot with field points and not hex heads..... :biglaugh: :D But, in all seriousness it was a pleasure to shoot with you... It amazes me how well you shoot those Hill bows..... Looking forward to more get togethers in the future!
OS...thanks again for sharing your products and making the trip ..
Mike... I believe that your pink arrows went to a new group from dewitt michigan.... we missed you and your chili for sure this year...i made a big pot of chili but it wasnt like yours !!
I like the idea of a michigan carp shoot...i'll support and help any way i can ... thanks again everyone!

Not a Problem It was a blast put us in for Next year :clapper:
Folks, what you do is very special(trust me I know)and I want to congratulate you on an outstanding job!! Thankyou for letting us who do not attend come along thru the pictures and stories. You do us all at TradGang proud!! OOOOHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Shawn
I totally agree with Shawn, what you all have done, in both New York and Michigan, can't really be expressed with words. I don't know of anyone who's life hasn't been effected by cancer. I have a close family friend who benefited from St. Jude's with TWO bouts of leukemia. People like you are the reason why he is now a 19 year old college student. Thank you all.
Shawn...we're having a tough time keeping up with you newyorkers...but we know every little bit counts!!! its for a great cause and it gives us one heck of an excuse to get in the woods.... thanks again everybody!!
ttt
way to go guys!! :thumbsup:

I was shooting the breeze with Cody, Jim and Jason when the lil red one was spotted. Cody strung up that bow, and went off on the stalk. I reached for my camera at the same time he was attempting the triple axel. :saywhat:
Here is one of Cody on the stalk... eyeballing the squirrel who is laughing at him.

Sorry for the delay on adding my pics all. Just came out of my coma (not really but sure seemed like it.) Wifey still nagging me about going while being sick but it was worth it. I was finally able to put faces with many names and meet many people I feel I can call friends. :knothead:
On a little bit of a mushy side note: Thank you to everyone who participated and especially those who put countless hours into making the stomp happen. I can say with certainty you guys have every right to be proud of a job well done. :bigsmyl:
You not only raised a great amount for the kids at St Judes but you also have put ALL hunters in a positive view for all to see. I am proud to be associated with such a group. Thank you all.
:campfire:
Well I guess all I can say is thanks to everybody that could come. It was another great year and I know my dad and I had a ton of fun. It is always great getting together with this bunch of guys. Seeing old faces and friends and meeting new ones. Thanks to everybody for some great food and awesome donations to St Judes.
John..thanks for the pics...anyone else take some pics to add?
Nice job guys !! :notworthy: :notworthy:
Way to go fellas!!!!!OOOOOHHHHHHHH YYEEEAAAHHH!!
ttt
What a great day with the tradgang crew it was nice putting faces with so many names.
Just wish a the bunnies would have cooperated a little more.
Cody would you do the now famous squirrel stalk again next year :bigsmyl:
the rabbits were there, just conditions are always variable. the dogs had a tough time in the morning, and I don't know about the afternoon because I just shot at targets with some of the guys all afternoon! More fun than should be allowed. I saw 2 bunnies, and some folks close to me shot at one, but they were skimming on top of the crust and barely left a trail. It was another great time. I couldn't believe all the hunters this year. Must have been around 60. It was great.
Matt...make sure you bring some more woodies next year......i owe ya man!!!! lol....
the rabbits were definitely there....my son and nephews saw at least 6 on the day.
Looks like everyone had fun!
