On The Hunt....

'No bunnies gonna stop me from finding them all!'

In much of the world, Easter egg hunts involve children looking for hidden chocolate eggs.  In other parts of the globe however, the sought after treat is dramatically different.  Recently I've been reading about adult Easter huts, hunts that are a little more adult, and that give a whole new meaning to the term Easter basket.


In the European Island nation of Tescara, the hunters are the town's single women and the huntees... the town's single young men.  Every Easter, the town holds a Hunger Games style lottery to choose the participants.  Every male in the area are included in the lottery on the year of their 18th birthday.  On Easter Saturday, five names are drawn for the hunt.


As for the hunters, 20 women are chosen to hunt.  The women can be of any age from 18 to 80, the only requirement is that they be single.  They also cannot have, won the Easter hunt before.  The hunt occurs on a local farm and begins at 2pm sharp.  The guys are required to strip completely naked and are given only a pair of bunny ears, a straw hat and a bit of hay to hide their goodies.


The guys are given 15 minutes to find somewhere on the farm to hide before the towns horney single ladies are let loose.  Their goal, to grab and bring back the straw hat of one their prey.  The first four women to find a hat, and uncover their basket, wins a night out with the guy whose hat they grabbed.  The fifth guy, the last one with a hat, wins a cash prize and his choice of single ladies to go out with that night.  I've not heard of any male on male basket grabs yet, but I'll be sure to keep on hunting for more info!

Oh man! I wish I lived there when I was 18. I would have loved to be one of the guys chosen.
