Title: cacciatore hunted rabbits with me
Post by: Shedrock on November 25, 2012, 10:42:00 AM
Felix and his buddy from Cheyenne showed up at my place yesterday morning at dark thirty. I was going to take them out hunting bunnies with our bows.

We got to one of my spots where I had seen many rabbits in the past. Right off the bat a bunnie jumps up out of the brush in front of me and stops around 20 yards. I had a clear shot, but just missed it's head, high, by a fraction of an inch. The bunnie headed towards Felix. I see him draw, shoot, and he scored! Wow, what a good start. Look's like we may get some good shooting in today.

Well, that wasn't to be. The dreaded wind started blowing harder and harder as the morning progressed. We only saw two more bunnies, had a miss on one, and the other ran, and ran, and ran, with no shot at it.

It was great to hunt with Felix. I have met him before at the CTAS shoot, and instantly found a new friend. What a good guy, I hope we can hunt more in the future together.

Only one bunnie shot during the hunt, but we did have fun sharing stories, and roving around the sagebrush.

Thanks again for coming over Felix.

I simply couldn't find a better guide and guy to hunt with.
Tracy is the kind of buddy everyone would like to have.
Thanks again for your friendship.
Here in Cheyenne is warm and calm today,but I am boring,for sure I'll trade this any moment for the wind and fun of Yesterday.

Maybe the Wyoming bunnies don't like the wind either; holed up for another day. Nice picture guys.  :coffee:
