My brother and I got three swamp rabbits with a ball pein one night.
About every tenth rabbit we hit with a spotlight would run at an angle
toward us, then change by 90 deg or so, back and forth, until they
ended up at our feet. Whap, dead rabbit. The rest ran other
directions and escaped.

Man, I could go for some rabbit. Good eating.

Yep, but the rabbits up here in the mountains are so parasite-infected
that I'd not want to touch one, much less skin one out.

Squirrels are our sworn enemy. They ate into our soffet, got into the
attic wiring and cost us a fortune. They eat into Bride's bird
feeders. Not just eating the feed but chewing new holes in the
feeder.

I use a Hi-Standard Supermatic Trophy match pistol shooting CB caps
and she uses a wall-mart .177 pellet rifle. She's gotten deadly with
that old air rifle. 3 just yesterday. Awhile back I challenged her
to head-only shots. So that's what she's doing. What a lady!!! :-)

I toss 'em down in the woods where the feral cats are getting fat and
sassy. Again, too parasite-laden to even think about trying to eat.
