Title: Great Ohio Rabbit Hunt 2011
Post by: heydeerman on October 05, 2010, 07:30:00 PM
It's now a go. The website is updated and there is a Facebook group if you're interested. You can get there from the website.
February 19 and 20, 2011 in Jackson, Ohio at the Jackson Bowhunters Club. This is one super nice club with a large heated building and good people. They will have the kitchen open on Saturday and Sunday serving meals. Plenty of parking and camping from primitive to RV (no hook-ups). More info to come as it comes up. The website is the best place to keep up to speed.

Sticshooter made this knife for GORH. I just got it in the mail today and this picture does not do any justice for this knife. It has a sweet leather sideway belt sheath. Someone at GORH is getting a really sweet knife.

You might freeze off fewer important bits if you heat some water over the fire and take sponge baths with that rather than the solar(less) shower.  For that matter - it's only a day or two and winter time funk isn't as lethal as summer time funk.

GOHR Info or Discussion sites?

I know there is this thread, the main GORH page and the Facebook page but, it seems I saw another page on facebook or somewhere's else but cant find it again. Maybe it was Steves oersonal page or something?

Can someone take time to list all sites here on this thread so we can keep up and maybe get to know a few people better before the event?

Just a thought........

Um yeah that's it.  All of my many misses are due to me still getting used to my HH.  Brilliant!

If you aren't clanging arrows off the iron bunny, it's just not as funny as it could be.   :D   Come to GORH and miss with us!

GORH officially starts around daybreak Saturday so I just updated the site so folks can come in on Friday and set up camp, hunt, shoot, hang out, whatever. Gonna try real hard to have a campfire Friday night. Bring something to eat and your favorite drink from Coke to Yuengling.

I am back from the Kalamazoo Expo to work and 9 hours straight talking on saturday at the booth explaining the how-to's did not help my voice. Still a little rough:-((
I am still looking forward to the hunt in 17 days and hope we will not have any ice etc.
I don't plan to do a 5 hour drive on ice but with free roads no problem.
I will also bring a complete arrow-fix set to demonstrate, for you guys not familiar with it. If you have some broken arrows and some repair shaft pieces of the same diameter, feel free to bring em and I can demonstrate live if we have some electric juice at the club house?
Jim, is there some electric power at the club house I can hook up my powerdrill?

If the weather seems to stay dry I'll bring my 8 man Kifaru. I guess the 16 man will be overkill for just one night...
Is there still any snow on the ground?
Will there be some firewood? I highly dislike to bring some from out of state, which is not recommended by the DNR's for good reason.
Will not need much for the tipi stove anyways.

It is getting very close. I'll probably get up real early saturday morning and give it a go.
5.5 hours for me...
Time to get the license and dig out the tipi from the storage box...
Good I don't need to dig out the sleeping bag, it is always in the car...
Still need to tune up the grip section of my Prototype II bow I'll use to scare a few of those short eared hares :-))

Just squeezed the hunting license out of the printer.....
300 mile drive and one hour time difference....brrr.
Jim, it is a shame I can't bring the Ballistik with me, but the limbs broke and I never got the bow back before John Fazio died. Well, it is written off in my "books".

Roland,

That's too bad about that Ballistik. I'm in the hunt for one. I was about to call John about ordering one when I heard he was sick. I thought I would wait till he got better.....I'd love to get back one of my old ones.

We wont be there until evening and I guess we wont be camping due to the wife's chest cold. We'll either drive back home or stay in a hotel. I only live about an hour away.

Finished this one off today for the hunt, I named it "Rabbit Hole".

Joseph your enthusiasm and the work you have done is very appreciated. Thank you very much for making all these bows.

For GPS coordinates go to the 2011 page and quick on the Directions To GORH link and a google map will come up where you can enter your address and get driving directions and the coordinates are posted right there. When I get there this morning I will take the coordinates off my gps and post them on the GORH facebook page. I might be able to post them here to but not sure if I can from my blackberry. I can't remember my password here. You can get to the GORH facebook page from the GORH website. If there is wireless I can access down there I'll be hooked up.

Post by: tecum-tha on February 18, 2011, 11:34:00 AM
Well, only a few hours left, before the drive begins...
Scene from last night:
I was opening my storage box labeled "Tipis 8+16 man" and:
Where the f... is my 8 man Kifaru tipi? It was gone!
Well,I forgot that my elk hunting buddies were lending it for their hunt last september and I haven't picked it up at their place last time I've been up. Duhhh!!!
My 16 man is too big to bring out for just one or 2 days, if it gets wet it is a pain in the .... to dry it out for storage in my current living setup.
Solution: I will get to Wally World and see what they'll have...Their cheap tents have surprisingly good online reviews.
I hate it when such stupid things happen....but if it is only that...

Here are a few pics to whet your appetite.

There was some breeze shooting in the camping area...

We searched for rabbits in the creek bottom...
  (http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff187/GingivitisKahn/GORH_2011/20110219_gorh_02.jpg)

... and found one VERY fast one up in the brush.  My son and Rob's grandson (in the distance) each got a shot at him thanks to some very hard work by Rob's dog Jake but no one connected...

I do want to thank Jim(heydeerman) for all his hard work in getting this together. Also his wife cause I'm sure she worked her butt off as well. One more thanks to Jackson Bowhunters Club for allowing us to use their facilities for the weekend. They have a sweet set-up folks.

we surely caught a break with the weather saturday. went downhill fast on sunday.

for a many years it was pretty hard to keep GORH alive. kudos to the GORH committee for stepping up. GORH would have died a few year ago if it weren't for these folks, and Jim in particular. thanks, fellas, for your time and for doing all that legwork. and a big thank you to every person who donated door prizes. the generosity of archery hunters never ceases to amaze me.

as always, it was good to see old friends, make some new acquaintances.

Kent, thanks for the beers, buddy!!!

Yea the weather was nice but an inch of snow would have been helpful for the hunt. But after all the cold we have had in Ohio for so long it made for a nice break. Especially for the ladies and kids. Jackson County Bowhunters does not have a website so there is no way to thank them here but they did a fantastic job and gave us the run of the place. That is a great club for Southern Ohio. Wish I lived closer.

I was only able to be there for Sat., and it was my first time, but definately enjoyed it.  Wish the rabbits would have cooperated cause I would have like to have seen if I could hit one, but the stumps sure didn't mind getting drilled.  Found a shed and felt like a kid again flinging arrows into the air for the clout shoot.  Thanks to everyone who had a part in putting this on.  Looking forward to the next one.

Here is a link to my photobucket I cant seem to figure out how to get the pics to the website.

I can't tell everyone enough how much fun I had on Saturday. Just sitting back and watching, listening, and learning. The day was exceptionally perfect for the activities we all shared in. Most definitely I will be camping at one of these events in the future. It was so nice putting some faces with the names here on Trad Gang. I think I truely bored my girlfriend with the tales of the day after my drive home Saturay night. I got home and put her to sleep with my giddish talk of the day and then I went out and turned on the back porch lite and blank baled with some tips the guys from Steubenville gave me. Thanks guys!
Neeless to say on the way home watching that full moon rise above the horizion as I headed North. I was extremely jealous that I was leaving but very thankful that I as able to spend such a perfect day with the men,women and children that were there that day.
Thanks so very much to Heydeerman and all the hard work you and the others put in to making this event happen and to continue to make happen. I am so very happy I made the decision to make the trip down and enjoy the day!

I must also add,if any of you have never tried Joes(osagetree) self bows you need to. He makes one of the nicest self bows I've had the pleasure to shoot. I really enjoyed his hickory bow. A true craftsman for sure.

Mike, Wish I could have spent more time with you and the guy's in your group. With so many to meet and all going on it was hard to do. We all should do and early season hunt somewhere next fall.
I'll get around to that stave soon and maybe I can work up a few more hickory's this summer. We can do some horse trading then!
My computer mouse won't right click so I can post pics. Gonna fix that today and post a bunch of pics here.

First off due to the cold weather we were having we forgot a cooler. So it was 68 degrees on Fri and we had to improvise. Hence,the redneck cooler.

Hey Joe, it was great to meet you and your wife. She seemed to enjoy  GORH to. Domonique slept with that hickory bow and shot all day Sunday. He said we have to make the trip down there so you can learn him more.We had a blast and looking forward to the next 1. It was good to see everyone again and meet new trad gangers to.
Jim you did an out standing job again. Thanks for all your hard work and the ones that helped you

This is the stupid thing about weekends, they're too short.  :(  
Joseph,unfortunately I can't shoot the new bow this weekend at our local 3D-shoot.
  :archer2:    :nono:  
I need to get new arrows for it, but I'll have to order test arrows first.
Talking of the bow. I like the look of the tips, but they are very narrow and short beyond the nock grooves. This makes it almost impossible to string it without a stringer, because there is no place to put your finger to pull above the nock. I'll have to mail you a shape drawing for the nocks to make it easier to string bows. I can string all my moderately reflexed longbows with the normal step through method. Just a hint for future bows.  :)

Roland, I always use the step through method & never a stringer so I don't worry about that. Yes, I'd like to see your version of the ultimate tips! Feel free to rework the tips if you like. It is your bow now... You can also place a spacer on the shelf window to adjust the bow to your arrow spine. Does that make sense? The bow string is probably past center!

for those of you not familiar, those three fellows pictured above are the three remaining original GORH survivors who have attended every GORH. we have endured much to make it this far. blizzard, draught, famine, hypothermia, drowning, Gohrbitussin, Spam cake, the Waldo rabbit, death marches, chili dances...
Dang.... you guys look much older than I remember..... death marches must be tough.

I hear spam cake is a perservative.... you all should eat some.
