Thank you to everyone that was at the hunt today.  The drive up from IL was well worth it.  I could not have been made to feel more welcome or hosted more graciously.  The group of gentlemen and the young man in attendance today are top notch.  Bravo for such a great hunt.  I surely will be back next year.  

I can say I got to shoot the biggest rabbit I have ever come across in 40 plus years.

Thanks guys.

A great time. Super bunch of guy's. The apple pie and the mule deer chilli were unreal. It's 8pm, and I'm still not hungry !

Paul, Just want to "thank you" for putting this on.

Bill Tell, nice meeting you nad the rest of the guys out today (I was the guy in the fox hat).  My friend John and I had a great time.  I really enjoyed getting to meet Pete and shooting his bow ... but I have never had a larger piece of pie in my life!!  All the food was great, the visiting was great too.

What a great way to spend a Saturday!

Bob.

I should have put new batteries in my camera, these where the only pics on my camera......it was cold!
It was fun meeting some new trad brothers and renewing friendships with ones from previous hunts and shoots. Tom Colstad is not pictured .....he was the one behind the camera. And thanks Paul for putting this together again this year.
The food was awesome......like I needed any!

As your can see.....we killed what we think is a new world record rabbit!     :eek:  

Another fine event Paul!     It was almost as big as Kevin's rabbit!  :eek:

A huge thanks goes out the guide, Bruce(Smoke1953)     who lead eveyone on the quest for a shot and the elusive WI Bunny.  

I almost forgot, thank's Pete; the left over pie will be a great half time snack.

Thanks Paul, Bruce and all the rest for a great time.  Nice to put faces to names.  All good food and I was able to come home with an empty pie plate (like I need a pie in the house).  Bob, I liked your Whip - if/when I get another bow that is going to be at the front of the pack.

Rabbits didn't cooperate on this day they remained in there hole after a fresh snow that morning but what a beautiful morning for a walk along the Maunesha River with friends. Temps were around 10, no wind, sunny skies and after a 2 1/2 mi. walk in 10" of snow we were ready to eat. The best is always in the gathering of people with similar interests and though many of us had never met we shared a hunt, food, beer, talking trad and looking at and shooting each others stuff creating the bonds of friendship. Oh did I mention we had beer! Also a lot of Packer and Bear talk though we needed a few more Illinois friends for that discussion to reach its full potential. Looking forward to gather again.

This was a great time with great people,  and yeah that Whip of yours Bob is really really nice!!  and if anyone of you know who made those baked beans again and those meatballs I gotta get a recipe!!   Please help!! I'm so bad with names the 1st time around, unless you were  a hot chick!! LOL  but there were no chicks at all.  DANG!!

Rafael,

My friend John brought those meat balls, they were wild hog he shot with his bow just after christmas.  I will try to get the recipie and send it to you.  

I had a blast busting thickets with you.  I really enjoyed meeting all the guys ... you are correct, the wheelie guys never do stuff like this!! Maybe see you at the Sherewood Forest Shoot on Feb. 5th.

Bob.

Thanks Bob,  yeah send me that recipe if you can, Those were the bomb!!    I will for sure be at Sherwood Forest shoot on the 5th will see you there.

i CAN'T BELIEVE I HAD TO MISS THIS THIS YEAR!!!!

Sounds like a blast, as I expected.  Hope to see everyone next year!

Phew, the game is over and I can breathe again. I sure was looking forward this hunt and lunch with everybody and am dissapointed I had to miss it. I hope to see everyone at my shoot at Sherwood. Come early as Karen will have two pans of her awesome egg bake for breakfast. I started setup yesterday and have a some chalenging shots planned.

GO PACK

Breathe but not talk. I lost my voice. hopefully it will recover by the time the Superbowl comes around.

Sounded like a great time fellas.

OK, who brought the meat that was sliced up and tasted like corned beef?  He said he was going post the recipe but likely forgot.  If I remember it was wrapped in aluminum foil and steamed maybe?  Maybe it's been posted and I didn't catch it.

Hey Pete,

Are you going to the sherwood shoot?  I think I willo be there and may have my whip.  I put that new string on it but never shot it much before the bunny hunt.  Well, at my draw things are a bit touchy ... seems like the skinny string put me in another spine range.  I have some heavier woodies and they seem to fly real well.  I also have somne 400 spine carbons that look great comming out of her.  If you are going I will be sure to bring it and you can check out the 3-d range if you want.

Bob.

Hi Bob,

Yes, I'm planning on shooting Sherwood.  I remember I shot your Whip with a couple of my GT 5575's with 250 gr tips and it seemed to like the extra weight - flew well.  I was surprised as it would seem that they would be way too stiff but it sure didn't look like it.

Looking forward to it.
