Shootin' rabbit question

To shoot them on the move is easy. Just don't think about it, just do it. I think I've killed as many with my bare hands as I have with a gun. They freeze in place many times if you are super close. Just reach down and wring their neck. Much easier to clean this way.

Or you can do it like my brother and just unload on their rear with a 12ga. When out of ammo you just transition to your sidearm and continue firing. he is famous in our family for gut shooting bunnies. Odd that he never has to clean his mistakes though.

LOL ya I'd like to see that. I've been in the bush years and years having my own ranch etc and I don't know what stupid animals you guys got out there but I've never in my life seen a rabbit freeze to the point you could grab it with your hands.
 
We have lazy Ohio rabbits that pull a welfare check and get fat on government cheese.......er.......rabbit pellets.
 
Rabbits almost always run in a big circle when trailed by dogs. Rabbit hunting with a couple of beagles or a basset hound is pure joy listening to the dogs trailing the rabbit. I used to be pretty good at shooting them on the jump with a little semi-automatic 22 rifle. Later gravitated to 22 handguns. The fun is in the companionship, listening to the dogs, the anticipation, and least of all the kill.

Using larger caliber guns is a waste on time. Might be fun with a 38spl revolver though.
 
I almost want to say; rabbits die fairly easily with almost caliber; if you hit it, it'll die..

I know a guy that uses air gun pellets.. and it's fairly fast too, one shot one kill..
