got a rabbit!!!
billy:
I've heard the same thing about tularemia: yellow or white spots on the liver is sign they are infected. This one didn't have any, and I did eat him. It was really good! Plus the fact that I got him with my own handmade primitive bow, well, that made him even more delicious. Another thing that this kill makes me grateful for: I'm glad I don't have to rely on my skills with my bow to provide food. If my survival depended on what I was able to get with my bow....well, I would have starved to death years ago!
cowboy:
Mmmm - rabbit and dumplings :). I got one a few weeks ago after about four shots - kept shooting high at ten feet, but when he hopped off to twenty feet I nailed him in the back of neck, hmm...
kdub:
I shoot high when they are close too, its frusturating. I think its due to the angle that we miss when they are close, kinda like shooting hiigh accidentally from a tree stand. Lately Ive been bowfishing and I have to aim extra low for that cuz of the light refraction in the water.
hawkbow:
An old archer once told me, "when shooting at a rabbit aim at the spot where the front feet touch the ground."I am not sure why it works but if you do, the arrow almost always hits the bunny in the head. Hawk a/ho
Kegan:
Excellent rabbit! I'm sure he tasted sublime :)!
Old pop cans, corn cobs, or water bottles make good "rabbit" practice. Lay it on the groun and keep shooting it farther and farther away from you with a blunt. I believe it was Maurice Thompson who wrote that when shooting at rabbits so close, you had to aim "beneath" them.
