Guys gonna do a couple small hunts after the holidays, so be in touch!! I miss ya all! Shawn
OOOOHHHHHH YYEEEEAAAAHHHHHHHH!
I hope you are feeling well Shawn get rested, get the roads cleaned up and I'll be over. Bringing the brier armor this time ;) :wavey:
This sounds fun.
Shawn, if I can get a heads up well enough in advance, I may be able to break away from work for a day or two. Not many bunnies down here by West Point.
Charlie, what do you mean? Are woolens a bad choice up in them parts?
Z....Shawn has serious multiflora roses, briars, and numerous other blood-letting obstacles in his area. And an amazing amount of rabbits.
Just thinking about you and bunnies earlier today......hope all is well.
David
Jaime and I have had bunnies on the brain for some time now!
Love bunnie hunting. They are the only does and bucks I ever get. Go get them .
Casey,
It will be one of most fun experiences you will encounter in NY. Nopt only is it social but someone has action at some point. I missed 3 bunnies last year and helped finish one of Guru's two he shot one day. I watched T REC shoot a running bunny through the brush at 30 yards. So dont listen to him when he says he's not a good shot.
Second what Jamie said, You will bleed but enjoy every minute.
do a search for JLMBH and JLMBH warm up, it will give you an idea of what to expect. They may have been moved to 2010 highlights.
My faorite part of the hunt is the comeraderie.
OOOHHHH YYYYEEEEAAAHHHHHH!
Shawn, how you doing my friend. I tried calling you last week and no answer. You must be screening your calls! :)
Jen, Tyler, and I would be honored to shed some blood in the pursuit of rabbits. Just let us know when you want to give it a go.
Thorns,,, what do you mean? I just bought a new Sitka suit just for this hunt.Anyone think that would work? Hope all is well with everyone. :smileystooges:
well i might just have to see if theres work in ny soon...
Izzy That Should Work Just Fine. It will be leafy Sitka when you are done. :laughing:
Filson chaps will keep those thorns at bay.
Only on your legs. Need a full body suit to hunt with Shawn. Lol.

That's no BS either! My beagle and I were fortunate enough to attend the last JLMBH. Shawn has the best bunny cover I've ever seen. But you will bleed if you're doing it right.
I'd love to get over there again.
Sounds like fun guys. Hopefully I'll be able to make it.
Looks like I'm going to need a tin suit and some scrap arrows. Anything else that will be helpful?
I have some cedar shafts I'll make up for this. I also have some HUGE Easton aluminums 2613 I think. Was gonna make flu flus out of them.
Casey,
some people wear saftey glasses and work gloves. If you have a set of garden pruning shears, they can save your life. Oh and dont lose youre arrows in the island of trees! she eats them for breakfast. Some of these thickets are so think people will just leave their arrows after a shot instead of trying to retrieve them.
Only people like Jamie are crazy enough to dive into this stuff head first ;) No offense Jamie, I know it was a good cause. :archer:

Any chance ya'll guys wound want to cut some of those multiflora rose stems about 36" long and send them down south? :saywhat:
Sorry guys have not posted, have a few issues! Seems I have a brain tumor, not cancer but not good!! Don't worry still huntin hard, as you guys know me, this isn't gonna slow me down. I will live!! Surgery in the near future but I want to hunt, so anyone close and want to bunny hunt come to the house around noon Jan.1st. that should give ya time to recuperate from New Years partying!! We will hunt til dark!! I will limit it to 12-18 guys tops, so let me know and post here!! We will do pizza and wings after the hunt, so bring some soda or beers and a dessert or two!! The host likes Vodka as well!!LOL!! I will check back soon and give ya up dates on my condition!! Look up ACROMEGALY and you will learn all ya need to know about my tumor!! Thanks guys!! Shawn
Shawn, I'm so sorry to hear that... I hope Your OK and I wish You luck when it's time for surgery... Please keep Us posted.
Sorry to hear that Shawn,
Hopefully the surgery and hormone monitoring work well for you. :pray:
I will get back to you about the 1st. I could use the practice and am leaving fro rays on the 6th. If it fills up before i give a commitment, well then that will be my loss.
Have fun hunting and I hope your surgery goes well. I'd come hunt and bring you the vodka if I were closer :biglaugh:
Count me in if you can Shawn, never passing up a chance to bleed and chase bunnies with everyone. Prayers sent for the surgery, bud. I'm pulling for you.
Wish you all the best Shawn.Know it'll take more than that to slow you down though...you're one tough dude!
Sounds like a great way to start the new year but I've been busier than a one legged lapdancer.Let you know soon.
Shawn take care. Prayers sent from fam and I. Unfortunatly I will still be in Florida on the 1st. I'll try for the next trip. Enjoy yourselves gang.
All the best to you Shawn-Hap
Please no sympathy, I have never been scared of anything or anyone, so I am not gonna let this bother me!! Charlie and Jeff always room for you guys, please try and make it!! Seeing you guys and everyone else who comes will be great medicine for me!! Glynn, Thanks my friend!! You are the best!! Shawn
Shawn,
I'd love to come, I think Jordan would too (but I need to check with his dad first he broke his hand riding his dirt bike)anyway I can be there.
Lee
Lee both of you are welcome. See ya the 1st. Shawn
Shawn, your in my prayers bud.
"Please no sympathy, I have never been scared of anything or anyone, so I am not gonna let this bother me!!"
I have great admiration for that attitude. You will be fine!!
Well, you know sometime in the next two and a half months I'll be in Selkirk, NY to fling some arrows.......take care of yourself until then Shawn.
David
I'll be in tx on the first otherwise I'd cancel my own wedding to be there
No sympathy from me but don't share that vodka with your surgeon, tell Cindy hello for me.
Miss ya and be well
I will be there providing my work schedule allows....or I could always bang in.
There are plenty of multiflora rose arrow shafts in my back yard...shoot me a pm as to thickness and such.
Shawn, you are a tough hombre. Anything you need, say the word my friend. Im close enough to ya...
Shawn count Jen, Tyler, and me in.
I was feeling sorry for the tumor! It doesn't know the butt kicking it has coming!
My and Tyler are now off to kill some geese.
Sounds good folks, Thanks for the kind words!! Gonna be a good time! Shawn
I would love to attend .Good luck Shawn. Glen
Ride up with Curt Glenn I think he is coming!! Shawn
Anyone else coming, I thought I would have a bunch of ya by now?? Shawn
Can't make it on the 1st buddy. My wife is scheduled for surgery on the 3rd and my butt needs to be home for New Years Day... I know all will go well when your time comes around. Have a vodka for me. I left all that drinking in my past life. :rolleyes:
*** I'd like to have a Tree Rat Hunt, 3D and Muzzy Block shoot sometime February 2011. So long as the wife is up to speed and we don't have three feet of snow. Keep it in mind everyone. ***
... mike ... :archer2: ...
can't make this one, but I'll make one of them that's for sure!
I'm gonna try and make it Shawn...always a good time.
Mike,hope everything is O.K. with the Mrs.A Feb.get together sounds good.
Thanks for the invite..I don't think I can make it. My dance card is full that day. hanging with my best friend that day.Let me know about the next one..
Hey Shawn- I am waiting to hear from Pete, but pending no bad weather we would love to come up and join the hunt. Merry Christmas, and hope to hear from you soon. Let us know what we can bring!
Matt
I can't make it on the 1st, but like David WILL be able to make it sometime in the coming months. Just let me know when you're planning.
And be sure to listen to your docs! You're in my thoughts and prayers whether you want to be or not buddy! :readit:
Shawn,
Count me in! I made the necessary scheduling requirements with the lovely lady in my life.
I'll see if I can find any Vodka.
Mike, I wish your wife well during her surgery.
BUNNNYYYYYY :readit: :bigsmyl:
Shawn, I got the libo chit from the wife I guess Matt and I will be there. OOOH Yeah!!!!!
Dance Card..... Did someone say DANCE!!!!! :bigsmyl:
Sorry Guys I have to bow out.
Not gonna vent here but something came up.
I still love my wife.
You gotta love when they make plans and forget to tell you..
Frederick,
It's not making plans and forgetting to tell as much as it it was:
Someone called and we have to go see them next weekend.
I put up much to small of a fight, I am leaving for a Hog Hunt the following weekend so, I figured this was not the time to fight.
Have a great time guys and come back with stories!!!! I'll do the same with Ray's.
Ohh, young Charlie! You ain't seen nothun yet! Just wait until the kids come. When my family was young I barely got to hunt. It is worth it though. And from the looks of Becca, you married up, so you better be nice! :)
QuoteOriginally posted by IndianaBowman:

What's hunting again? I made it out one afternoon this season and I think 3 last season. My kids are 3 and nearly 1 now.
Wouldn't have it any other way, really. :D
I know Terry, I just like to complain where I can pretend someone will feel my pain. As far as marrying up, well you are right Becka is a catch. Not to take away her glory, just being married for me is marrying up.
I was just having a conversation at work today, If I were to do it all over again, I would marry a girl from a hunting family. Not only would I be able to hunt with the in laws, I wouldn't have to explain so much the need to be hunting all the time, she would have hopefully learned that from daddy.
When I have kids, I am getting one of those kiddie back packs, my kid will wear a back quiver and have to hand me arrows :readit: :readit:
You never know Charlie, I had Hunter in a backpack with me while scouting one day in July when he was a year and a half. He started to cry and then cried louder.....I tried to quiet him to no avail and then heard an animal running our way. It was a mature doe that ran and stopped ten yards from us, Hunter kept crying and that doe wasn't sure what to do.........he almost became my "deer call" that fall! :biglaugh:
David
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Who else is going BUNNY Hunting with Shawn? :dunno:
Trust me Charlie, it could get worse...
Besides, plenty of time to hunt bunnies.
We feel your pain Charlie! I'm sure all of us have had times we'd have much rather been hunting.
Family is always first and when you do have kids it is really hard for the wife to say no if you are taking the kids.
David, you do have an interesting deer call.
Man I wish you guys were closer!!!
Ed how is your hand? I have been praying for your recovery.
Can you still shoot the bow?
Oh no Ed!!...what happened to the hand?
Shawn,
Sure would like to make it up for some bunny chasin'. I didn't get to make it up for the last big hunt and had to hear all about it from Greg and the lads (as well as watch the video). I will do my best to break away and head north, but will have to play it by ear.
Hang in there with the diagnosis. You have some good Docs up that way.
Tony
Sounds good everyone, see you all around noon on the 1st. If we don't have snow at all I may cancel. It is tough with no snow, but I think we will get a bit by than!! Shawn
Wish i could make it bud, but I'll be in TX.
But I'll make any more that you have! :archer2:
Im off from work. I will be there no doubt.
I'm planning on being there...let's hope we get a little snow.BUNNYYYYYYYY!!!!!! :thumbsup:
Today Bunnies 2, Charlie 0. Good luck guys.
i'll try to swing up for the day, not sure at this point but looks good.
4-6 inches coming in Monday. :)
Yup, snow would be great!! Yeah Curt I remembered that after I told Glen to ride with ya!! Should be a good time!! Shawn
No shooting for me for a while, but would love to be able to show up for some pushing and hanging out!
10-15" is forcasted now...OOOHHHH YEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!
If anyone needs a ride from the Dutchess/Orange/Ulster county area let me know
Shawn, I'll be there for sure although Jordan will not. His hand injury has him side lined for a few more months.
We got snow and it will be around for saturday!! See you all around noon! Lots of bunnies around this year!! Out to go plowin!! Shawn
Wish I was closer...Daisy's first of the year this morning...
(http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h227/rnorris/hunting2010085.jpg)
I think we may have snow. Just got done digging out. Got a solid foot+ here. Im sure some will melt by then with the forcast calling for temps in the 40's, but there should be some in the "bunny cover".
And oh yeah, the JLMBH Bunny bow will be attending, in case anyone else wants to try it. Have it set up with some CE heritage 150's with about 200 up front. :goldtooth:
damn john m jealous ... a dog and a rabbit...
nice catch
-hov
We will no doubt have snow!! Gonna be good huntin! I may have to go do a bit of a warm up myself weds. Lots of rabbits wish we had a dog attending, oh wait we do, Jamie!! LOL!! Shawn
Jamie is the best rabbit retriever I've ever seen.
He's pretty flea bit though :laughing:
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
I might be going through New York on Saturday.....wish I could stop by.(May be going to New Jersey to pick up a rescue Akita or two.)
Good luck guys......
David
Wow....see if I go wasting my talents for you guys again. I usually just run em down when I hunt solo. I carry a bow with you guys just to fit in... :jumper:
David stop by anytime you want!! I am heading out in 15 minutes!! Hope to have a hero pick. I blew off work as with my surgery coming in the next month or so I have to get out when I can!! I will let ya know!! Shawn
WOW!!! Got back about 10 minutes ago!! I saw 27 and took 16 shots and yes, my 16th. and final shot I got one!! Someone send me their e-mail so I can send ya pic. and you can post it for me!! Guys who have hunted here, know we have lots of bunnies and the most killed in a day was 36 with 6 guys. Today was that good!! I put 5 out of one pile 100 yards from the house!! I got some good pics. If someone will post them. OOOHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHH!!! This saturday should be good! Shawn
No takers to post my pic huh?
Don't know how to post pics. either Shawn,but sounds like a heckuva outing you had and is has me pumped for Saturday.I'll be there,not sure if Tyler has to work.Weather looks good for it.
Wish I could shawn, but my phone doesn't upload to PB. I will tomorrow am if no one else has, as I am at work until midnight.
great shot!
Where is Curt when you need him Shawn. He and my kids are my computer go to guys.It would be easier for me to draw a picture than send one.glen
Shawn,
Just sent you a PM with my email. I'll post them.
Casey
I am excited for you.
Good shooting Shawn. :thumbsup:
David, you can say hi to me in NJ.
I tried uploading from my phone, and some how lost one of the pics Shawn. I got online, and had this one left...

I have had some great hunts and yesterday was one of them!! I killed 14 one day when I was 17 with a boom stick, but 16 shots in 2 hours with the bow was awesome. If everyone coming would post again so I can get a count, would be great!! Looks like around 12 plus!! Perfect, just bring your favorite drink and a lil' cash and we will order wings and pizza and Cindy will have them ready when we come in from huntin!! Shawn
By the way I put that arrow in the left ham and it came out about 1/2" from his left eye, he had 7"s sticking out of each end and still went 100 yards with this old man running him down! He was going dead away at about 30 yards when the arrow hit him!! The Bow was my RER Arroyo and Heritage 150s with 175 up front, 50 grain brass insert and ace hex head!! Shawn
OMG! Flashbacks Again!
... mike ...
what kind of spread did that buck have? :biglaugh:
Good shootin shawn.
I'll be there! Shawn, sent you a PM
Nice shooting Shawn.I will be there with my son in law Brian.If you can let me know your adress so I can get directions.Thanks ,Glen
16 Old School Rd. Selkirk NY 12158! Shawn
Thanks Shawn
Tyler, Jen, and I will be there.
Can't wait buddy! Save a slow one for me.
Well with Terry there I will be diving... :rolleyes:
Pet and I will be there at 12:00. Target or Hay? :archer2:
old school road eh? thats one heck of a coincidence..
nice buck
-hov
Jaime, need any knapping supplies?
Sounds good guys!! We won't need much of a warm up, so no bails or anything!! Gonna get right after them, should be good!! Lots of bunnies this year and we have snow, don't dress to warm as it will be around 40 or so!! See you guys tomorrow! Shawn
Lee, I still have everything but rock. And I have no clue how to work a spall anyway. LOL.
I am so stoked fo this....I cant think of a better way to bring in the new (and hopefully better) new year.
I have to new converts coming as well, one lil' guy at 7 years old and his Dad!! It will be a blast!! Shawn
Man, I would love to come but as is my norm, I don't visit the forum much during the season and am caught short.
Best wishes for the New Year and a speedy recovery.
I will keep my eye out for the next hunt.
Ill be there. looking forward to it.
Shawn, looks like skiing in MA has taken Jen and Tyler away. I'll still be there and I really hope Jamie brings his Superman cape! Should be fun! Tyler and I took a quick trip out with the bows today but didn't get any shots at rabbits.
Bunnies beware in Selkirk, the "Dynamic Duo" will be out and about tomorrow!!!
David
Looks like I won't be able to make it guys. Problems at work arose and now I'm working on the first of the new year. Good luck to everyone, hope to see some hero pics...
Well sorry to lose a few but we will still have a blast!! I have an idea about hunting the pieces in a different order, we will hit two of the best spots right near the house last right before dark!! Should work out very well!! Looks like 12 of us or so!! Bunnies beware!! Happy New Year!! I am off to bed in about half an hour!! Shawn
Happy New Year guys! See many of you in the morning!
Happy New Year to all you bunny bustin' buddies! Have a good time with Shawn today. Post some pics too, please... I'm in need of some more... "Flashbacks!" ... :D ...
... mike ...
OK guys see ya around noon!! If any one has a nocking point I need one or two would be best for a kids bow. I can't find any. Also if anyone has an extra quiver, bow, back, hip whatever please bring for a new guy to use while we hunt. I have some stuff but it is way to nice for this type of hunt!! Thanks and lets kill some bunnies, remember it will be warm so were your brush busting stuff but dress light underneath!! Shawn
Jamie, Camera!! PLEASE!! Shawn
reports should be coming in soon! :archer:
"Now Hear This!" ..... We want a bunny report! ... :archer2: ... Thank You. From The Peoples Republic of NYC.......
... mike ...
Man I hope so..What a great day to be outside..
Started a new thread guys!! Check it out and report or post there!! Shawn
