Used to see quite a few black ones down there from time to time.

    Good shooting from you, not so good the guy who was shooting 2 inches high
    Shot a rabbit once with bullet holes through its ears. The ears had being laying flat along its body. Rabbit didn’t die with that shot so I shot again and found the holes in the ears.
