I would love to, but it would be February in New York. Aren't there some minefields like New Jersey and the like in between me and you? And you would hurl this frail female out upon the treacherous roads in such a heartless time of year?

Not only that, but fresh in my supervisor's mind is the memory of the turmoil that occurs every year in November, and the empty ache that takes forever to heal, the result of my three week absence as I pursue my soul in the hunting woods of the Virginia Alleghenies. I know she mourns during my quest.

No, I must stringently meter my time, as a miser pinches golden dust into the pan of his scale, as there are so many things in the budget and only so much time allotted me. I would have to give up ATAR, or Baltimore, or the opening salvos of the Season of the Chase which is the Columbus Day hunt, or perhaps the revelry of spring wildflowers and warblers, symbols of rebirth and the raw strength of new life returning to my huntlands over Memorial day.

Which marker of the seasons do I forgo, in order to risk death and arrest on the nations highways? No doubt, the comrades that I would meet and grow to love as brothers of the bow would well be worth the risks, and the experience of beagley rabbit hunting would give me thrills to raise the hairs on arms and neck for the rest of my metered days. I would fain fly on winged feet to New York, arriving Mercurylike to frolic in the field, like faeries in the light of the moon. But which outing do I forgo, Shawn?

"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,  
And sorry I could not travel both  
And be one traveler, long I stood  
And looked down one as far as I could  
To where it bent in the undergrowth."

Me being me, I just stood there and dreamed.

I like plain old steel blunts the best.  We hunt rabbit alot here in Jan, Feb.  and I shot at least 50 rabbits this past year.  In my opinion the blunts worked the best on cottontails, and a broadhead is really almost mandatory for jackrabbits.
 I like the blunts for cottontails because they usually penetrate through the rabbit, but they dont cause too much damage.  I find that judos usually penetrate on cottontails, and then cause a really nasty would channel that ends up ruining meat.  The claws end up dragging dirt and hair all through the jagged would channel also.  I'll leave the judos for stump shooting.

Ace Hex heads, old Ace broadheads, and some judo points. If the fine people at Ace Archery made something like a judo point I would be using that.

I have a can full of .38 special brass glued on to screw-in inserts. But I had some cash burning a hole in my pocket so I picked up some of the G5 small game heads. I haven't shot anything with them yet, but they sure look like they'd get the job done!

ill be shooting my own patented "9mm-shell-casing-glued-to-an-aluminum". works fine on bunnys and bushytails. i can even remember a muskrat that met his demise due to a well place shot from my long bow. Believe it or not those little buggers taste great if ya fry em up right. Nuthen like munchn on a muskrat leg while on the the trap line.

Ian- a "tarantula" is a rubber bludgeon with the webbing removed from between the "legs".
Not sure where to find it here on TG but there is a thread about 'Manny's Tarantulas' somewhere...they stop really fast in the grass. they bounce well off hard surfaces, but still deliver lots of shock on impact.

My fourth arrow in the quiver will carry a broadhead during elk season, for the grouse I hope to see.  Any other times it'll be a judo.

The judo also goes in my backpack during elk season for stumping in camp.  It gets screwed onto the grouse shaft.
