I had a bunny running a couple beagles yesterday off of 127 bout 15minutes north of Lansing...said they saw 32 rabbits. However hunting was hard as the night before it dropped into the teens and that nice soft packing snow from the day before froze and the rabbits were having a field day running on that frozen snow.

Roger..im sure the lake is frozen..but with the snow thaw it and recent melt it will be a slush pond..

frozen for now...I'm hoping the rain holds off, or is very slight.

Whats the normal or expected number of hunters? Will there be plenty of room? Lake frozen? You mean we have to spud holes to shoot scuba diving bunnies?

jacobsladder · February 16, 2011, 10:46:00 PM

Sleepy Hollow State Park contains over 2,600 acres of woods, fields and trails. Lake Ovid nestled in the middle of it all was developed by damming the Little Maple River and covers 410-acres.

Weve had 50 plus hunters the last couple years...this is a huge area and room is of no concern..we dont even touch 90 percent of the area.............It's good to break into small groups of half dozen or so..that way if a bunny gets jumped there can be multiple shot attempts.......There is no shortage of brush, pines, etc..... it will be a great time...

There are some good brushy islands on the lake that hold bunnies...if the lake isnt froze we wont be able to get to them..but there is absolutely no shortage of area to hunt.....

There will be a fire burning...some folks will just chill by the fire and talk bows..others will be out pounding the brush...some will hang out at the targets...this is a chance to get out side spend some time with other Michigan trad bowhunters and enjoy what WE love to do...All of you make this event what it is and we enjoy putting it on every year!
