Ron,
I am going to plan on making the shoot if I can. Which day are you going to shoot?

Has anyone hunted Belva Deer area before? Any rabbits? This new snow should help out. When does everyone what to try and meet?

Had a dentist appt. this afternoon, so went out to chase some bunnies this morning. Hunted public land right here around Mt Pleasant. Heat wave. Must have warmed up to 8 or so, overnight. Got up 3 rabbits, no shots to much brush and they were to quick. Got my limit of stumps though. Nice morning to be out. My MOAB is shooting sweet! Good to have it back!

redneckrampage · February 14, 2007, 10:15:00 PM

is there going to be anything going on with a second bunny hunt

Lefty · February 15, 2007, 06:30:00 PM

Ron,
I am planning on the shoot this weekend. What day and time works best, for you and others? Didn't you say the Belva Deere area is close to the shoot? If others are interested, how about we meet for the shoot and practice up and then chase some bunnies after? Now I have never hunted this area, or even been there, so someone will need to direct the hunting aspect, if anyone is interested.
If folks aren't interested in hunting, I am still planning on the shoot and hope some others can make it. Ron, can you give us directions to the shoot and a meeting place? Sounds like it is going to warm up nicely!

I'm going to be there Sunday and a couple(trad) friends around 9 am.Belva deer camp ground is very close and i think the public hunting area would only be about 3 miles from the 3d shoot!If you come from Mt Pleasant you would take 218 north of ainsworth to G36 go east,that would take you to the junction of hwy 1(would say around 7 to 10 miles)G36 will then be hwy 92 keep going east threw west chester,you will go by the junction of keota then harper the next town is sigorney.I'm guessing about 3 miles before sigorney is the turn off,NORTH,There is a sign,but be carefull it's right after the top of a hill,it's about 2 miles down the road.I would say it is 7 to 10 miles past the harper turn off.it's a gravel road!!
Hope this don't mess you up!!!!!
Maybe a few more can make it.!!!!!
Let me know if this has got you messed up!!!
We can meet at the shoot around 9 if thats o.k.
Wish i could try the bunnies but have to go to the hospital after the shoot!!!!
The shoot is a chili shoot 20 targets and all the chili you can eat.I believe it was $10.00 last month

Shaun · February 15, 2007, 08:08:00 PM

I think you mean WEST on G-36 and Hwy 92!

Is the 3-D shoot at the hunt club on Hwy 149 where they hold the dog trails? It is about 40 miles from my house. I will see you there 9AM Sunday if I can get away.

Ben Nicholson · February 15, 2007, 08:17:00 PM

There were a couple of us that were going out Sunday morning up around Iowa City. If you don't mind us joining you we might come down ther, then do a little ice fishing afterward.

Ron,
I'll probably be shooting my Adcock, since it is what I plan on chasing hogs with in a couple weeks. But the MOAB is one very nice shooter!
