All this talk about rabbits...

[fishmerf]

has inspired me to try and kill a couple with the longbow. The Michigan boys and the JLMBH guys and gals had me wanting to find a few bunnies to shoot- or atleast shoot at.
We had a snow and ice storm move through Friday and I hoped that the fresh snow would make it easy to track a rabbit or two.
I took off down my favorite fence row and found some tracks from the night before. I hadnt even nocked an arrow when I jumped the first rabbit.
I waited a few mintues before taking up the trail. the tracks went into a brush pile about 75 yards from where I first jumped him and no tracks came out. I eased around and caught him sneaking out the back side. He stopped and I shot through the brush and put an end to the first rabbit of year.
I jumped only one more, but the freezing rain had made it nearly impossible to sneak up on anything. The thick crust on the snow was way too noisy.
It was a good way to spend a wintry afternoon.

I just love it!  Wish we had more consistent snow like that here in Oklahoma.  Brings me back to my Wisconsin days.

Now ya gotta think ,,How would that have been if I would have been with 50 tradgangers,,screaming a whooping over how awsome the hunt is<

[robslifts]

yeah   great shootin man  

[fishmerf]

Thanks guys.
Whitebuffalo- I agree that it would have been 100 times more fun.
I had a friend that used to put on a small hunt here in Ohio. One year we had 5 beagles that his Amish friends brought to hunt. I think I shot 15 times that day and never moved 10 yards.There were about 10 of us and it was an absolute blast! I cant imagine 50!!

Good job! Its a great feeling to center punch a bunny with bow. Whitebuffalo and I got two the other day. We created some great memories in just a couple hours.
