Jim, we could probably hunt this area as many times as we wanted. We should be able to hunt two weekends this month with the probability of good weather falling on at least one. You'll be right there with us my friend! Let's try and plan it for a decent weekend weather wise.......... Bunnies don't like stormy blowing snow anyway!

No problem Marv, thanks so much for the scouting and leg work David,as far as I'm concerned Arport / Hornell would be great , looks like we have a spot. David why don't you get with Alex and Jim and pick a date that will work and we can rally the troops . So glad you found some spots, I am getting pumped. Its so nice to know that we are working together to get this done.

Nice job and thanks for the work Knawbone.Looking forward to a the hunt and meeting you men.I have always used field pts with a washer for bunnies but are we restricting ourselves to any point type(blunts ?) for this group hunt ?

I was happy to be able to get out and find some areas to hunt. I had no intention of knocking on doors, but after surveying the area, it just seamed like the thing to do. We may very well have hundreds of acres to hunt. Corn, corn, and more corn fields with pockets of brush, overgrown orchards, brushy draws and hillsides. We also have permission to hunt on 60 acres of what should be prime habitat in the valley. Hopefully I'll get a call or two from other land owners.

Marv those heads would be fine or blunts or judos, I don't think the houndsmen wouldn't want any broadheads because sometimes the dogs get to the rabbits befor you do.

Id love to attend if that would be allright with everyone

Larry you are more than welcome to join us, were is Martville in relation to Arkport.

I'm about an hour east of rochester

Well I'll throw my hat in the ring for this one , good job scouting David    

Drew, I was thinking of you yesterday when I was in Arkport. I'm glad you chimed in. I was going to get a hold of you about attending the hunt, but no need know. Should be a good one!

The only other concern I have at this point, is how many attend for the hunt. I'm a little hesitant to take to many people to these farms until I run it by the land owners. If we get enough people wanting to go, we could possibly split up into two groups, but that may cause some issues as well. Let's get a tally on how many want to go so I can figure something out. A party of 12 to 15 would be ok, but more than that may be a little more than the land owners want on their property at one time. I don't want to spoil a good situation with these people.

Please don't anyone invite people other than Trad gang members until we can get a head count.

Looks like so far we have 10 TG members intending on coming. I told the land owners about 12 people and would like to keep this number or close. Once we hunt these spots and gain some trust with these people, we could possibly increase our group #'s in the future. I intend on keeping my word to these folks, so again, please don't invite anyone before we can know for sure the prospective group size.

Yep sounds like a good plan David we don't want to bite the hand that feeds us.

Exactly Jim, I don't mean to sound overbearing here, but I want these land owners to know that we are honest and respectful of their expectations and their land.

David, it is good to keep ones word.

Do ya'll have room for myself and another? He recently started hunting with trad gear.  I thank you for your consideration.

Nanuk, In all fairness to everyone involved in this hunt, this first hunt of 2014 needs to remain  Trad Gang member's only.I hope you understand the situation. Thanks

sounds good David

I always keep my word Jim, My father told me long ago that a man is only as good as his word.

I might be late once in a great while- but I always keep my word        

Is it carp shooting time yet?

Boy I'm glad I got my name in the hat when I did, this filled up fast. Looks like we have our 2nd Annual T-Gang Rabbit Roundup comming together nicely. I'll bring the guest book!!!
