I totally understand and will fly solo if there is still room.

What date are we thinking for the first hunt?

Sounds like you have enough guys for this one.  I'll try and jump in if you have room next time around.  Hope some of this snow is gone soon.

Looks like this weekend is too close and will be too cold and or windy to hold the first hunt. If You and Alex are in agreement Jim C. then let's shoot for and hope for milder weather the weekend of the 11th and 12th. This will give me time to contact some other land owners.You can never have too many places to hunt.

Bob and Tom, You guys are very welcome to come to this hunt. With the two of you, that would be 12 TG members participating in this hunt. I believe twelve fills this hunt nicely.
I believe once we hunt these new found properties, and we gain some trust with the land owners, then perhaps we can make it a bigger hunt in the future.


OK folks, it now looks like we have a full hunt.

Ok, I'm flexible on the date. just excited to meet up. I'll stay tuned...

11th or 12th would work for me. The only day I have any other commitment this month in the 18th and even then I could make it for most of the day.I hope we get some warmer temps and maybe even a little melt before then. Its too cold for me to even want to practice today.

I could do the 11th, how bout a 9:00 meeting time? that will give me time after work to get ready and get there.

Sounds good Jim, Let's set the date for 1/11 @  9;00 am. We can all meet at the 7/11 convenience store in the village of Arkport. Arkport can be reached via RT. 86 (old 17 ) from the east. And it can be reached via Rt.70 Rt.36 from the west. Arkport is a small one horse town with one traffic light. The seven eleven store is in the center of town. Let's meet on the Rt. 36 side of the store where there is more parking space. There is parking on the street as well. If at all possible, it would be advantageous if some of us can car pool as parking may be a bit of a problem at the hunt sites.If we can all car pool in 3 vehicles to our destinations, that would be good.We can work that out when we meet at the 7/11.

Jim C., are you bringing your beagle? Three dogs would be good. Thank you Houndsmen for your contributions to this hunt.

 
Have a great hunt!

that will work for me, looks like it's just over a 2 hour trip.

Any weekend this month will work for me.

Nope, I don't have any beagles but 1/11 works for me too, ill be there.

I've got a beagle, he's not the best but I can bring him if you'd like.

Sounds great men I'm in and will be there, thanks again David for all the leg work this year. Let the 2014 Rabbit Roundup begin.

Larry bring him if you like  

Talked to one of the land owners today. He said he is maxed out with rabbit hunters, and was sorry he couldn't help us out. I am going to continue pursuing access to land in the valley, as that is our best bet for rabbit density. Rabbits on the hill tops will be undoubtedly few and far between as a rule. I believe in all likelihood,the state lands will be on the higher elevations as well. I am going back to the Arkport area tomorrow and see what else I can dig up. If anyone wants to go with me, just give me a shout!
