    You can go a lifetime without nailing a black bunny
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Black ones reasonably common on a property i shoot occasionally. Maybe 1 in 80 or a hundred.
    Only ever shot one ginger one yet other parts of the country they are pretty common.
    "Hunting and fishing" fucking over licenced firearms owners since ages ago.

    Luck had nothing to do with it, there were thousands of the things running all over the place.

    I've shot two blacks and seen maybe another two or three but the last was about 7 or 8 years ago. Tanned one of the skins which I had for a few years until the dogs ended him. Have seen two gingers and a half white one. My life of rabbit hunting summed up in a couple of sentences

    Bought a bow to beat my cousin in a semi friendly competition and decided to try my hand with it on some turkeys after loosing half my arrows i got a bit frustrated and peppered them with the scattergun. afterward found some fresh rooting on the edge of the property and decided to follow some sign, ended up stalking up to decent sized boar about a km away but before i could blast it, it got wise of me and took off, only opportunity to shot it after that was when it was between me and my cousin and i wasnt willing to risk it, still kicking myself i didnt get the first shot off in time.
