Hey Doug, welcome to the forum.
Sadly I'm going to miss the picnic this year due to work obligations but hopefully I'll catch you at a meet or during the season!
I live just outside of Hamilton so I'm kind of within your bubble. Definitely some better rabbit hunting down your way and would be happy to have you come along.
Good luck on the beginnings of your journey, feel free to reach out with any questions!
