Title: Bunnies anyone??
Post by: Shawn Leonard on December 15, 2009, 06:01:00 PM
Guys took my first walk with the old RER today to check out the bunny sign. As most of ya know we see plenty and kill plenty at our annual Joan Leonard Memorial Bunny Hunt. Today was no different. In about an hour, I managed to see 17 and get about 11 shots or so and killed one in the rabbit valley. I think it is gonna be a good year!!!   :bigsmyl:  I only did part of the old road and a little of the rabbit valley and they were out in force. I am doing the hunt again this year and all are welcome. Please don't bombard me with questions. All info will be posted Jan. 1st. at 1 minute after midnight. We are gonna have Guerzte's barbeque do Saturdays evenings meal to make things a bit easier!! Bunnies, Bunnies everywheren and they best beware!!! OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Shawn

I also saw 3 in the yard when I walked back to the house!!! I am working on getting the large bultler building down by the rabbit valley to hold the hunt out of. Lots of room and plenty of parking, start saving your money and getting your stuff together for the raffle. I have something pretty special for this one!! Lets try and get over the 5 thousand we raised last year for the kids!! OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Shawn

Not just a bunny hunt but "The J.L.M.B.H."! In a way that only Shawn and Company can bring us. For A Great Cause Even! Proud to be a small part of it.

Does the first rabbit to be foot trapped get a reprieve again?
Title: Re: Bunnies anyone??
Post by: mcgroundstalker on December 19, 2009, 07:37:00 PM
Thank You Shawn!

I too would feel a void when deer season ends. But just thinking about the JLMBH would make me smile and laugh myself to sleep. That's if I could sleep thinking about Shawns hunt. Oh Boy...
