monty.... thats the beauty of rabbit hunting with tradgear..... theres always a clump of snow or an old stump to kill if the bunnies arent cooperating.... plus a deer shed could be just around the next brush pile..... hope you can join us!

Title: Re: Michigan bunny stomp results ( pic pg 41+)
Post by: jacobsladder on December 19, 2007, 07:07:00 PM

doug.... a state park sticker will work or most of us will just grab a daily permit on the way in.... i'll post this and the details sometime after christmas.....If we hunt the outside area of the park a parking permit will not be needed... but, again i'll post this with details of a meeting spot and other details later....if we have enough interest we may do a trading blanket or a raffle for st judes like we did last year.... stay tuned there will be more to come!!

I thought I would pass on license info for the out of state folks. You can check the
Michigan DNR License fees (http://www.michigan.gov/dnr/0,1607,7-153-10363_14518-173829--,00.html) webpage. A three day non resident small game license is $30. Oh yeah, orange is required too.

I hope to make it over for the hunt.

Merry Christmas All.

If this weather continues, you'll need waders, not snowshoes to hunt those rabbits. Heard you folks are going to hit 60 degrees today. In January?

Still one guy with his horns..this was done over night, I had "marked" spot the day before..too much coffee :D

Cover varies it can be thick, but this is average.

Some sheds i've found this week..
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v445/Drewsifer/IM000925.jpg)

Plenty of tree rats, although they are jumpy you'd have to put a good stalk on them.

Guys,

As long as the weather cooperates- meaning no forecsated snow or ice STORMS- I plan to attend, but will have to depart shortly after lunch. If we have something to warm it up on, I'd be happy to make a pot of venison chili.

Looking forward to meeting everyone. And the first one to make a sarcastic comment about my shooting can plan on a blunt in the arse (that is, if I aim for your boots).

I don't think Dave Worden will be making it this year. Something about old guys playing volleyball and weak knees. He's been hobbling around for few weeks now. I shoot in a league with him on Monday's, I'll tell him to chime in on this thread.

That's funny! You guys are going up in bow count and I'm going down to 3! LOL!! I like the bow rack idea Tim since the new camp site won't have a good leanin tree. Of course we'll still need the bow tent at night.

Terry, use any arrow you wouldn't mind the chance of losing..anything you use for stumping.

Flu Flu, woodies, aluminums...just make sure you got blunts or judos on them.

I will be shooting 2216 aluminum with judo and hex blunts and 2117 Flu Flus with judo and hex blunts. I am ready to see what those hex blunts can do. I shot a few bunnies last year with judos and it took a few arrows to get the bunny to go down!!

Tfolts...i can bring a hand full of steel blunts 11/32 if youd like....if you build arrows...my advice would be large bright feathers...much easier to find in the snow....plus bring a few beater arrows for the iron bunny...Jason says the iron bunny likes to eat arrows...

I will justifibly admit that I never have read this post until tonight. Curiosity just happened to jump up (like that bunny) and attract my interest. Once started, I read thru the entire 18 pages of post. At the moment I believe I should wander into the pantry, grab a bottle of tomatoes and mix, possibly a tomatoedaquirie. (be back in a whiff).
Gentlemen from Michigan, You are awesome. What a splendid example of pure American spirit. The rest of this great country could use you as an inspiration to the dedication that you abide.
Bowferd, from Nebraska.
PS: No wonder we have so many bunnys left in NE. you scared em off.
Donation coming to your noble cause. Wish I could make it.

Post by: jacobsladder on February 03, 2008, 08:55:00 AM

thanks Fred!! We really wish you could make it too! This bunny stomp has been able to grow because of the great "trad gang" site... Alot of us have met what we consider are closest friends thru tradgang... it has been a great tool to meet good clean folks with common interests..ie.. God,family, traditional archery, and lots of fun! The bunny stomp is getting larger every year and has turned out to be a perfect opportunity to get kids involved in the great sport of archery....Plus raise money for the kids that are too ill to make it......Thanks for your interest and the time that you took to read down thru the post....this is a great group of michigan fellows!!!

Title: Re: Michigan bunny stomp results ( pic pg 41+)
Post by: Tim Fishell on February 03, 2008, 08:56:00 AM

Bowferd, This is one of the greatest bunch of guys I have ever met!! I have shot trad archery all my life thanks to my dad and I am now 26. Until I found TradGang last year I thought this was a dieing bread. I have met so many great people on this site that I am more than happy to call family. There is a handful of us that make a point at least once a month (on average) to travel any distance to shoot bows and shoot the bull for a day or weekend. Our wives have even met now and at first just thought we were nuts hanging out with people found on the internet but now they know why we call these great people friends and/or family!! Thanks for your contribution to the cause. I know we can only do so much and we appreciate every little bit!! Thanks for the post and thanks for taking the time, someday hopefully we can share the same hunting ground with you.

Guys ...something to think about and i see no way around it....sleepy hollow is a state park and there will be an entry fee if you do not have a state park sticker.... the daily fee is 6.00 per vehicle....one way to ease some of the pain so we have some extra money to give to st jude is some of us can car pool together from our meeting spot so we have less vehicles going in..... i seriously doubt there will be someone attending the booth, but to be legal we would have to stick the money in the box....i just wanted everyone to have a heads up, because i just dont see any way around it..... :banghead:
Please dont let this deter anyone from coming...youll get 6.00 of entertainment just watching jason shoot :biglaugh:

Actually Steve your engineer has been slacking and has not had a chance to even look at it yet.

Thanks for the heads up on the fee but I dont think it should be a problem. I am sure we can car pool as much as possible from the meeting spot to the park without to much of a problem.

Post by: Drew on February 05, 2008, 10:30:00 AM

yes it's an honor system at the park the booth is closed but there is a drop box.

Carpooling is the best option, there is a church that is a 1/4 mile away from the Sleepy Hollow main gate. If guys wanted to drive there after the meet and greet at the park and ride, we could load up a few vehicles to save money on park access fees.

Hey I got this scetched up roughly tonight and plan on starting to burn tomorow,,The poem is just awsome,,gave me a chill when I red it,, nice deer and a difficult turkey to fill in,, I trace just about everything I wood burn but I free hand everything inside of the trace, likea all the feathers and the detail in the head and all,,I'm so excied to do this for the children and I'm really trying to get something for everyone to go home with,,
(http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c175/whitbuffalo/IMG_1876.jpg)

I will also have 8 targets that I make from work,, These targets will last an entire summer for even the most dedicated shooters,, will post pics tomorrow of those,, they are 24" x 24" boxes with layers of foam sheeting that we use to protect parts during shipment but after that they throw them away and I make targets out of them,, I also have six arrows holders I'm owrking on as well I should have those done by the end of the week. They come in handy in the back yard shooting or for storing arrows in,,

Post by: T Folts on February 06, 2008, 07:32:00 AM

I got a question why the restriction on blunts for the hunt is that a game law?

Title: Re: Michigan bunny stomp results ( pic pg 41+)
Post by: Tim Fishell on February 06, 2008, 08:20:00 AM

I havent looked into it yet but I believe it might be game laws. I was going to ask a DNR officer about that because I have heard some people using MA-3 or Bodkin broadheads for rabbits and squirrels.

Title: Re: Michigan bunny stomp results ( pic pg 41+)
Post by: joe c. on February 06, 2008, 08:47:00 AM

maybee A lost arrow can wound one of the dog's,like their feet, I was wondering the same.

Title: Re: Michigan bunny stomp results ( pic pg 41+)
Post by: Tim Fishell on February 06, 2008, 08:57:00 AM

Yeah I would definatly now hunt with broadheads with dogs. There is to much at stake and the risk of wounding a dog would be to high. But for out just stomping brush or squirrel hunting is what I was always curious about. I have shot a few rabbits with judos and had to put 2-3 arrows in them before they went down. Field points get lost to easy. I am trying hex blunts this year so we will see how they do.

Title: Re: Michigan bunny stomp results ( pic pg 41+)
Post by: jacobsladder on February 06, 2008, 09:15:00 AM

the restriction is for safetys sake... a hex is ok....but no points or broadheads... we will have a large group of people plus dogs...arrows do skip and can ricochet...blunts and judos will take care of a bunny with no problem...plus that is the head you want on while stump shooting....i dont think it is a game law though....

Title: Re: Michigan bunny stomp results ( pic pg 41+)
Post by: T Folts on February 06, 2008, 09:37:00 AM

I understood the broadhead restriction just not the field point, I do see the skipping thing happening with frozen ground and rocks.
Good call.

Title: Re: Michigan bunny stomp results ( pic pg 41+)
Post by: Tim Fishell on February 06, 2008, 01:50:00 PM

So I know this was brought up before but now that we are getting really close what bow and arrow set up did everybody decide on bringing?

I am going to bring my new Shrew Lil' Favorite Gold shooting 2216s with hex blunt and judos and some 2117 aluminum flu flus

I will probably be bringing some of my other bows so if guys would like to shoot them they are more than welcome to!!

Title: Re: Michigan bunny stomp results ( pic pg 41+)

I will bring the RER Little River 53#@28" and the Dwyer proto type, both bows will shoot all ceadar arrows tipped with blunts and judos. I will have back stops and targets setup at the lunchin place.
If anyone needs hex heads but can't afford them this works great if you have access to a small welder,,J

Tim -
Now you don't want to get those purty bows full of wet snow do you? :D
Steve -
Any problem with the magnus type small game head. I have a few I made up - blunts with small magnus bleeder blades inserted through a slit in the blunt. No problem with the other variety of blunts of which I have plenty - just wondering. I wouldn't shoot them at stumps anyway - 'course I probably wouldn't hit the stump!!

Post by: AnointedArcher on February 07, 2008, 08:01:00 AM

Tim - That that is one fine collection of bows! Don't worry when you get to be as old as I am you will find that one bow that you just can't put down and that will be the one. However until then it sure is an expensive but very fun road to travel ;)

Any updates on the weather situation? I live between Cadillac and Manistee and we sure have had our share of snow. I know the midstate area has been pummeled lately and I think yesterday was a real kicker. What's the situation in the Lansing area? Apparently, Pentwater had 15" yesterday. With the "arctic blast" of air expected for the weekend and early next week, I doubt there will be much of a thaw! Everyone better bring their tall walkin' boots, and hope the "stumps" are even visible.

Post by: AnointedArcher on February 07, 2008, 09:55:00 AM

Not sure about Lansing area but I live just north of G.R and all the back roads still haven't been plowed. I am guessing we go 8 to 10 inches of snow. I am going to see if my grandson's snow shoes will fit me ;)

Post by: jacobsladder on February 07, 2008, 10:02:00 AM

lansing area got blasted hard yesterday.... very wet snow and my power was out this morning... im guessing we got 8" yesterday....

Dick...those blunts should be fine as long as the tip is flat....

Hopefully, well get some bunnies running so you can try them out!!!

Title: Re: Michigan bunny stomp results ( pic pg 41+)
Post by: Tim Fishell on February 07, 2008, 11:10:00 AM

We got some snow here but not as much as you guys got to the north and east of us. Looks like we might get a little bit of snow melt before next weekend but not to much. Hopefully we get some good weather and not to much more snow!!

Title: Re: Michigan bunny stomp results ( pic pg 41+)
Post by: Tim Fishell on February 07, 2008, 11:12:00 AM

Thanks guys for all the comments on the bows.

Title: Re: Michigan bunny stomp results ( pic pg 41+)
Post by: Drew on February 07, 2008, 03:20:00 PM

We got alittle over 12", and I'm just a few miles from Sleepy Hollow. Hopefully, we'll get some melt down next week...so we end up with just a few inches. The cover is thick at Sleepy so wind won't blow it out.

Dick, I would check with the guys with the dogs when you get to the hunt about those Magnus heads..just to make sure everything is fine.

We got some string wax, donated to the hunt from Ron Bushong he makes his own with is top secret recipe. It's for sale at Jays and a few of the trad gear internet companies.

Not sure on which bow I'll be bringing, either the Northern Mist, or the Horne.

Rob you should take a picture of your bunny busters and post them to see if they will be ok to use?

Title: Re: Michigan bunny stomp results ( pic pg 41+)
Post by: jacobsladder on February 07, 2008, 04:39:00 PM

I have some of robs bunny busters and i think they will be fine.... i will bring a bag full of extra 11/32 125 grain blunts if someone needs some...ive got a 100 or so...... im not trying to be too picky on these heads...but we all have to keep in mind that there will be alot of fellows, including dogs, and some kids... its not worth risking any accidents when a blunt or judo will slow down a bunny with no problem.... please keep that in mind!....if this was just a small outing with 3 or 4 guys, i would say shoot what ya want....but if those dogs run a bunny thru a dozen guys ...then there will probably be a dozen arrows in the air....you all know what im saying! better safe than sorry!

I'll have to try out some of those bunny busters. Robs been telling me about them. I'm still praying for no snow plowing!! I have been out for weeks now salting or plowing. The last 2 days the kids didn't have school, which means no sleep. I'm loosing my skull!! :knothead:

Hey steve, got any idea how many guys are bringing dogs. I'v got a pup (8 months old) who could use some training. Also, I'm not much of a cook, but I could bring lots of munchies, you know, chips, doritos, things like that. What do you think ?

Title: Re: Michigan bunny stomp results ( pic pg 41+)
Post by: jacobsladder on February 07, 2008, 08:37:00 PM

the bunny stomp details post has asked everyone to bring a dish to pass......if you want to bring some extra munchies and items...that would be outstanding! i will provide foam plates, bowls, cups , and plastic ware... we will have a grill, and a couple fryers ..... i will also bring along some jugs of water, and some pop...anyone that wants to bring extra would be great...if we dont eat it..you can just take it back home with ya.

I know of 3 dogs for sure and then i believe the fellows from newaygo are bringing some dogs... i would say bring your pup for sure!

harmless....i got a book for your boy...Drew and i saw 2 seperate coyotes on the way down to kzoo expo and i saw another single one on the corner of dexter trail and kipp rd in dansville the same morning.... must be looking for mates or the colds got them moving some.....looking forward to see ya all soon!!!

I'll probably bring "Redtail" my Horne Brushbow..

Rob, you'd hate Tim's Morrison...is doesn't shoot worth a darn :( , and that grip is horrible :mad: ! It leaves pinecone imprints in your hand :scared: ...His Morrison Rocks!!!) All I need to do is skip a house payment to afford one. :help:

Can't stand it...I'm surprised you haven't paid me to take it off your hands... :biglaugh:

Ya know I'm just trying to save Rob some money by not shooting it

Title: Re: Michigan bunny stomp results ( pic pg 41+)
Post by: Tim Fishell on February 08, 2008, 11:52:00 AM

I hear ya!! The reason I bought one is because I shot one at Kzoo last year and just could now live without one. I just had enough patience that I waited for what I was looking for to come up in the classifieds!!

Title: Re: Michigan bunny stomp results ( pic pg 41+)

Title: Re: Michigan bunny stomp results ( pic pg 41+)
Post by: Drew on February 08, 2008, 01:36:00 PM

Now that's funny...but true for me.

I'd buy one, but I can't afford the divorce and the bow...plus it would be hard to hang the bow up in cardboard box i'd be living in.

Title: Re: Michigan bunny stomp results ( pic pg 41+)
Post by: AnointedArcher on February 08, 2008, 02:54:00 PM

Well if Rob got another bow you would have to put two boxes together so he could stay with you :D

Title: Re: Michigan bunny stomp results ( pic pg 41+)
Post by: jacobsladder on February 08, 2008, 03:40:00 PM

living in boxes isnt too bad! just make sure the opening is pointed to the south and that you dont tear the flaps off...they come in useful when its raining...oh and get a box at least 68" long....that way you can get your longest bow into it and still have plenty room for the short ones.

Title: Re: Michigan bunny stomp results ( pic pg 41+)
Post by: Drew on February 08, 2008, 04:20:00 PM

Sure now they changed the forecast to Sunny and 30, 20% of snow.

Steve and I were chating on the telephone last night and we were talking about the raffle and fun shoots. Well,, we both agreed that the iron bunny will be a must if you want to hunt for the day. We will award ya with one raffle ticket for being a good sport,,LOL,. Steve mentioned having some old arrows for this shoot in case ya didn't want to demolish yours,, I got a few of these arrows as well. I was also thinking,,and everyone chime in on what ya'll think of this,, I was thinking the bunny stomp plaque from Drew will be awarded to the person who would host the hunt next year and next year it'll hang at there camp and we'll venture to new places every year. Kinda neet to think about. If you are someone interested in carrying on the traditional bunny hunt just remember its a lot of leg work, dedication and basically its gotta be in your heart to want to do so. Don't think you have to do it all by yourself either,,lots of great folks here would help in anyway they can to ensure a great hunt for all. So don't take it to lightly if you throw your name in the hat. I know when this started three years ago thats what I had in my mind to do and T-Folts put on a wondefull bunny hunt that was just a memorable time. Stevey did alot of work last year and again we had a excellent hunt with great guys and memories to last a lifetime. This year is looking AWSOME!! already and thats the direction to keep it going in, just keep this in mind,,,ST. Judes childrens hospital, Memories for all, and good food,,
What we could do is there if more than one person is a have a drawing for those individuals who want to host the tradgang, st. judes bunny hunt. Jason B.

Jason....sounds like a good plan... it would be fun to hunt different places every year! If someone would like to host next year...Jason and I would surely help in preparing for the raffle and helping contact fellows...we will have a book for everyone to write down there addresses , phone numbers, and emails.

Just back from church and I have great news,, Well I have the first donation today from a good freind from church, He has donated 10 dollars for two tickets in the raffle. He wanted to make the bunny hunt but his son is in the finals for a freethrow shoot that day and he needs to be there for that. He's going to be there in spirit anyway,,J.B.

Post by: whitebuffalo on February 10, 2008, 08:39:00 PM

Alright another added addition to the raffle,,

Sticksonly is donateing a great bow sock,, custom stitched by his wonderfull wife. After church today I got a phone call from John (sticks only) he said he can shoot indoors under his house,, I said "I'm there". Brought my two long bows and a few arrows, tied a couple new nocks on my strings and away I went into the frigid tundra. Got to his house which is nestled way back off of the county road, back in Gods country. He starts out with a few whisper sticks from J.D. lund,, oh man these bows are a truly a hidden jem and I truly hope more find out about Jims bows. We had great conversation about traditional archery,, wheely archery,, planting crops,, not to mention arrow talk bow talk and everything that surronds that. Had an excellent time there and I got to go home with a donated bow sock and a wisperstick that I'll be bringing to the rabbit hunt for all to shoot,, and shoot it does,, Its an early model of Jims so its not exzactly like the new bows he builds and it has a flaw in the bocote. But I would have never seen it if it weren't pointed out to me,,looks beautiful and shoots great so I'm bringing it. I did get to shoot the newer whisperstick recurve and it is lights out a great shooting bow with an excellent cast and dead as dead in the hand,,LOL,,

I will be bringing about 5 whisperstiks for you to try out. Rob has one and whitebuffalo has one. I even have the "evil cedar monster", a beautiful cedar and walnut whisperstik recurve. It is evil due to the fact that it is about 73 lbs at my draw (29.5"). Its like the prettiest girl you ever saw, then you get to talk to her and find out she is mean.

OK,, I have a big dilema,, The saw mill that I ordered my top wood for the turkey calls is backed up and haven't sent out my wood yet,,I'll bring the base to each call and let everyone pic out the base they want and what top wood they want with it. I ordered cherry and walnut. When the top wood comes in I'll finish the call and send it to ya in the mail.

Post by: whitebuffalo on February 14, 2008, 03:58:00 PM

For the first shot that everyone attempts the Iron bunny (succesfull or not) they will receive one raffle ticket, The iron bunny is a must do begining of the day shot for everyone so everyone will get at least one ticket into the drawing. Other than that, I'm not running any of the fun shoots to award tickets. They will be self serve and self set-up and self clean up. They are fun shoots for fun,, I'm going to do 5 for one, 6 for 20. I thought about five but I think six is more appropriate for the drawing. The drawing will be out of a back quiver and we will pull the tickets one at a time, After each time we will stur up the tickets inside the quiver and draw again. Starting with the bigger items first and trickling off to the smallest, We'll do this so everyone will have a chance at the bigger items like the bow, and knives etc..

Thanks Jamie,, we'll be thinking of you guys and gals too,,God bless,,

The famous Brat recipe: (Just to make your mouths water).
3quarts chicken broth
4 green peppers sliced
4 lg yellow onions sliced
4 beers
Brats cooked on the grill over charchoal and hickery wood.
Cook the brats as above on the grill I am doing that now.
In a large pot add all the above heat and simmer 1-2hrs..mmm mmm good, these brats are so tender and tasty you wont want to miss out. I cooked up 50 so we should have enough I hope...

Taking naps while driving/flying is an art.

My wife: "Honey.HONEY!!! Are you falling asleep???! :scared: "

Me (at the wheel/yoke): "What? WHAT?. I was just taking a little nap... :jumper: "

Tim Fishell: You bringing your camera? We still need to do some outdoor photography this winter :D

Jacobsladder: I have a bow that I am interested in selling (Hornes Mountain Bow), if I bring that along can I donate any amount over $200 bucks to St. Judes if someone wants to buy it?

Steve,
Here's a clipping from the Shop paper (Oldsmobile) in 1965. It was also in the Lansing State Journal. When I broke my arm it was the only way I could shoot so I could hunt that year. Twenty years later I used the foot shot in my shooting demonstrations. I don't do it much anymore, it's too hard to get back up off the ground....wish I could think of something good about gettin old... :D

Jusk kiddin' guys, I am out too! I will also be bringing a beautiful Horne's Mountain Bow that I will be selling... anything over $200 goes straight to St. Judes so bring your bow addiction fellas, this is an awesome bow and there should be at least $100 going to St. Judes!

I will also be bringing some venison steaks from the spike I took with the Little Delta Bow this fall, so fire up that grill boys!

Man, this is going to be a great time! See you guys in a few hours... like anyone will be reading this, you are probably all smart and asleep by now, LOL!

Just one of the way too funny quotes of the day...

"Get ready- he's in here somewhere. Ready. R-e-a-d-y! There he is! Here he comes! No- there he goes! Get ready! Get r-e-a-d-y! Shoot! Shoot!! SHOOT!!! Anyone see 'em? Where'd he go?
Rabbit down! Got 'em! Woooo hooo! Yeah, baby, Good shootin'!!!"

What a great time spent with a fantastic group of guys- even the blood thirsty, rabbit terrorists that I had the pleasure to hunt with in the a.m.
:campfire: :jumper:

Jacobsladder (Steve) did a bang-up job of organizing and coordinating this event. Everyone had a ton of fun.

Couple pics of the destruction the bunny had this day. I can see him for many more bunny hunts in the future for sure..

Everyone got a ticket for shooting wether they were succesfull or not. Just for being a good sport and stepping up to the challenge of the shot is awsome. Have you ever golfed with a water hazard in your way and you normally would shoot right over it but for some reason it land smak dab in the middle of that pond,,LOL,,

I think its gonna be tough to find a better spot than this....we might find more bunnies somewhere..but to have bathrooms, pavillion with fireplace and tables , enough parking to accomadate and a nice central area in the state...this worked out great...plus the amount of bunny cover and the islands....what a blast!~!!!

What a great hunt..I was worried about how many rabbits we'd see that that fear was quickly put at ease.

The stomp started and ended rough for me, the night before I was up at the hospital with my uncle, and he passed while i was at the stomp, but God gave me one of the best hunts of my life, a lot of new friends, and a bond with my trad bow brothers..

It was awesome to hunt with Kevin "the bunny killer" and I won't mentioned that first rabbit we both missed.

It was great to hunt with a bunch of kids that put their heart into the day and hunted hard all day..thanks to Jacob my brush stompin lil buddy, Casey who showed that pretty bow off and stomped with us all day, Jake, Cody, and all the others...you guys are the future!

Big thanks to Jason, Steve, Jeff, Kevin, Mr. LaClair, Tim, Rob, and all the others who came to stomp, shoot, eat, donate money to a great cause, and make new friends.

I have some family things to take care of...but I'll post some more pics soon..

God bless you guys!

Arwin, you got yourself a special little girl there! It was great to meet you guys... but next time YOU bring the steaks, that girl would empty my freezer in no time :D LOL!

Drew, I am really sorry to hear of your loss. I had no idea you were going through something like that, you had a smile on your face the whole day! It was awesome to get to hunt beside you for the morning, you are a friggin' hoot! LOL!! Next time I don't think the bunny will be so lucky if we are tag teaming him :bigsmyl: ... oh yeah, next time celebrate AFTER you have the bunny in your hands LOL!!!!

Tim, great looking pics there bro! Thanks for the pic of me... I really am not used to getting my pic taken that often, I kind of like it that way! Thanks for the awesome arrows that you donated that I won, they are sweet!

Jason, thanks again for all your hard work and great looking pics and video that you shared here! Thanks too for the turkey call that you donated that I won. I can't wait to call in a turkey with it this spring. You will have to bring your buddy from work along again on a shoot, he was a really great guy to hang out with.

Steve, It was a real pleasure to be able to spend an awesome morning with you again. Thanks for all the hard work that you put into making this hunt a BLAST! Looking forward to more shoots with you and your kiddo.

It was a pleasure to meet a whole bunch of new guys. I can't wait to share a campfire with any of the guys that were at this hunt!

Post by: luv2bowhunt on February 17, 2008, 09:24:00 PM

Tim, it is an addicting hobby! It extends your hunting season year round and you get to hunt species that you legally can not hunt with a weapon as well :D

Just let me know when you would like to get out and chase some wildlife, whether it is deer or just some birds. We'll have a great time... or if you want to chase some bunnies around West Michigan here with our bows before the season closes.

Kevin.

Did anyone else gete a ticket for parking in the lot without a permit? I got one on my windshield. When I came in there was no one to buy a permit from, so I did'nt get one. But, the nice thing is, there was no fine. Just send in the amount of the daily pass and that was it. So, I shipped that off last night when I got home. It was only $6.00.

Oh and who can forget the poor guy with the lost keys. What a bummer deal that was. His wife had to drive two hours (one way) to bring him another set of keys. But, I guess if thats the worst thing that happens to you the rest of your life, your all set.

Title: Re: Michigan bunny stomp results ( pic pg 41+)
Post by: jacobsladder on February 17, 2008, 10:27:00 PM

the poor guy that lost his keys was Monty...labs4me...Monty was of great help and an awesome sport after losing his keys...he drove 2 hours to join our hunt...he also brought along the outstanding ham and condiments and loaves of bread...... on top of this he won the ron laclair firefly arrows and turned around a gave them to my son....they were spined 60/64 so i passed them on the Jason whitebuffalo because these have been some of his dream arrows...

Yes, the ticket is just away for the dnr fellows to gather there fees because noone is working the booth.... no big deal at all... just toss 6.00 in and send it or there was a drop box on the way out..... I also thought it was very nice that the dnr did not make it a point to check everyones licenses and totally left our whole camp alone..... and did some extra snow removal for us for parking...typically we would have to reserve the pavillion and they gave us the go ahead with no problem... i was rather pleased with the whole set up..... Drew played the biggest part in finding the location and working with the dnr..thanks drew!!!!

He has my skull mount done too and I can't wait to get my hands on it!

Jason has got to be one of the nicest and most giving people that I have met... a guy that is welcome to share a campfire with me ANY time.

Thanks for all the prayers guys!

Joe, your a bunny stomping machine...you we're always in the thick stuff and a blast to talk with even when we were both tangled up in briars.

I was pretty whipped even the next day...but it was worth it!

Jim, I'll write up a story for Trad trails....unless someone else had planned on it?

Kevin...I can't think of a better way to meet someone other than shooting and missing the same rabbit only to laugh and shake hands!

Arwin, tell miss casey she'd better get some of her girl friends in the sport that's her job for next year...now I know why Arwin shoots so many deer that girl can eat! I cracked up laughing when Rob yelled "Who wants more vension steak" and Casey shouts "I DO, and I like it bloody!!"

Terry and Kyle, you guys were great to hunt with..I can't wait to do some riding with Kyle.

It was nice to see to two new members to trad shooting, Conner and Cody...I think those two are hooked for life!

Leroy...wish you could have been there bud, I know you'll be up next year.

I know I'm forgetting alot of others I met...

I hate to put a dampner on such a great time, but I feel it has to be done. You all thought Robslifts didn't go bunny hunting and stayed behind to help cook just because he is such a nice guy. Well I caught him red handed; he was charging people 5 dollars a plate for the food hoping he would make enough money to buy that Morrison off of Tim :biglaugh:

LOL the pic of Ron's dog is funny my beagle Sonny curled up in the front of Bob's truck Sat before we headed out,they like the warm sun beating down on them thru the window.

Guys ask about beagles making good pets AND hunters I think they do ya can keep them outside their tuff dogs but mine sleeps in bed with me or sleeping bag as was the case this past weekend and he love's to hunt.I take him out at least once every week to do what he loves to do

Well done guys/gals

And still be married that is!! :knothead: :help:

Yeah I am sure you could always offer to fill the position!! Ron says he calls him the Shrew Pig!! He said if I keep it up he will have to find a nick name for me so I told him I would stop after I had one of each style he makes!! :goldtooth:

Title: Re: Michigan bunny stomp results ( pic pg 41+)
Post by: Tim Fishell on February 18, 2008, 03:05:00 PM

You know that is a really hard question to answer. Right now I would probably say the Samurai. It is the quitest of the 4 that I have and for some reason I am most accurate with it. I think the accuracy has to do with me shooting that one more than the others. They all have just a little bit different feel in the draw but the grip is always the same!! Like a GLOVE!!

Cody, It was great to see you again!! We only got the 2. The one Kevin shot and the one the dogs got!! Drew connected pretty solid with one but it got in a hole before they could get another shot on it!!

How many dogs did you guys have?A few good dogs can be a whole lot of fun

Post by: Drew on February 20, 2008, 11:05:00 AM

Swamp there were 3 total...but I think the guys stomping brush may have moved more rabbits than the dogs.

I felt like I was noodling for drew's rabbit,I hate sticking my arm down those hole's,I have no idea how those guy's do it for catfish.

Post by: swampbuck on February 20, 2008, 11:19:00 AM

I'm sure the drivers on our hunt moved more bunnies than the dogs,it's totally different dog hunting vs driving.It's actually more work keepin the dog with the drivers but some folks like to listen to the music so I always bring Sonny besides the dog and my wife would kill me if I ever left him home LOL

LOL Joe just think if ya could actually reach the rabbit down there and he's backed up to the wall with his life on the line hahahahahahaha I'd reach down too just beware of the killer bunnies

Thanks to all of you for posting great stories, pics and video. I'm sure sorry that I missed this event - I'll definitely be there next year.

Drew, I wasn't looking for recognition when I donated samples of my string wax to the event. I must say though - that's a pretty cool label that you created. I might just have to buy the design from you and then hire you to handle advertising and marketing for me in your spare time.
Thanks
Ron

Ron, Thanks for the string wax!! You definatly make a great product. Thanks for the donation!!

Joe, did you see jeff's grandson Jacob? He went head first in the first hole...I thought I was going to have to hold his boots!

Swampbuck, nothing like hearing the hounds sing...well except the yell of "RABBIT!!" or the cheers and laughs when someone got a shot.

Ron, you made a donation so you deserve the recognition! I hope we thanked everyone who donated things to the raffle.

Drew,no I dident see that, he probally diddent even think about some blood thirsty rabbit waiting to take his hand off.

That's just Jacob, he has been hunting since he was 3 or 4. His Dad is hard core hunter and JT (Jacob) learned well. Even though he hunts with a recurve with grandpa, he loves his little .22 single shot. At 9 years old he has taken more small game then I did by the time I was 18. He sure had a great time at the bunny stomp. The neatest thing of all, is at bunny camp he wasn't 9 years old anymore. All the guys treated him and all the young hunters just like one of the gang. The young hunters appreciate that more than we will ever know! Thanks again guys for showing the true colors of a Michigan Sportsman!

Jeff, I always get a kick out of seeing your grandkids and how much they love and cherish this sport. I was shooting tradtional bows at their age as well I just wish I had the same passion for it as they do when I was that age!! Your doing good teaching them keep up the good work!! I look forward to shooting and hunting with them for years to come!!

The DNR called me, said something about a rabbit running around Sleepy with a set of car keys, looking for his ride anybody know anything about that??? :jumper:
