You are supposed to shoot him in the head, otherwise they are harder
to clean.


You sound like my dad. I wasn't confident I could hit a head shot
offhand, though he definitely could have and would have.

My father-in-law talks about learning to hunt rabbit with his*
father-in-law... says that "Pop" had a preternatural ability to know exactly
where the rabbits would be hiding. He'd walk out in a field with one shell in
his break-action shotgun and four more in his hand, and bag the limit in an
hour or less. Pop fed his family during the Depression that way.
