We began with morning coffee and rolls at eight at the clubhouse provide by Paul and his fellow club members and we thank you and your club members in getting things organized. Those first meetings often are a little awkward but with common interests those feelings quickly disappear and the hunts provided by Joe and Ohne on their lands created the connection that made everyone feel at ease. The temps barely made the single digits but with little wind, a bright sunny day, great lands to walk and good people to share the experience everything seemed plenty warm to me. We came back in for lunch and were treated to many venison dishes and the sharing of the hunt.  Raffles were held and were much appreciated and then many of us were off for a second round.  We finished with a gathering in Whip's shop to soak it all in with a barley beverage as the sun began to set. Thanks all.

Great pics guys,,Looks like a ton of fun,,JB

Sounds like a blast was had by all, and that buck sure is one heck of a find!!
Well done everyone, and thanks for taking us with ya.

Looks like major good times were had.Awesome pics.Thanks For sharing.

it sounds    thanks for posting

Hey guys, this Dominic on my dads computer, I just wanted to say thanks for everything and I had fun! Looking forward to it next year already and hopefully the deer hunt in October!
   

Dominic, it was great to be there with you and your dad when you found your trophy.  You're also quite the bunny stomper. Dad had a hard time pulling him away from one major brush pile where he was crawling in after them!

I will be there next year for sure!!!! Great job by putting this toghter Paul

What a great time yesterday!!!! Definetely should be a yearly event!!!

I won't leave my snow shoes haning in the garage next year!!!

Many thanks to Ron of Badger Arrow for setting up the club house, etc. and to Joe and Ohne for letting us tromp all over their places. Ohne's place was just loaded with rabbit sign.  Some of it from the rabbits, some of it what was left of the rabbit after it came out the other end of the coyote.

Squirt, the dog, had a great time and slept the whole ride home. I'm pretty sure for the first hunt at Ohne's he thought he was trying to put up pheasants.  It wasn't until the afternoon at Joe's place that he got to figure out what he was looking for.  That Pope and Young bunny that we kicked out of the downed tree really got him going.  It was perhaps the biggest rabbit I have seen, and probably the ring leader behind all of the viscous bunny charges that we experienced yesterday.  Squirt even jumped in the creek trying to sniff them out.

I'm still wondering if Jason figured out how he was going to field dress that thing after it ate and spit back 3 arrows and stood its ground with a dog 3 feet away. It was kind of scary for a moment, before we realized what we had in front of us.

Can't wait to do it again.

Thanks to all,

Jerry + Squirt

I too had a great time...many thanks to the young whipper-snappers for busting the brush for us old guys. Also, thanks to those that shared their private lands with others.

Definitely will be there next year.

Enjoyed the pics and tagging along on the hunt. Thanks for sharing.

Very cool that deer was a good find..Gotta love the bunnies in the snow....

Dang. I wanted to do this hunt so bad. I am in Boulder CO right now and wishing I could be at home for this hunt. Seriously. Please please do this next year. Thanks for the great stories

Dave

It was definately a great time.  I enjoyed meeting everyone.  Thanks all for the food it was great and thanks again to Joe and Ohne for opening up there land to us.  

I dont' think anyone will argue about doing it again next year.

Great stuff, and not a better time to had!! Shawn

I did get a couple of phones calls from one worried wife, who's husband said he would be home by noon.  The calls came at 4:30 and 5:00pm.
I wonder if he'll be hunting any time soon?  

You guys looked like you were having just too much fun. I'm envious.

Thanks for sharing.
