    OK so jump off your bike with a knife between your teeth and tackle that bunny Dougie.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.

    Somehow I don't think it'd go down well trotting around the dog park with the .260..and there wouldn't be much left to eat afterwards!

    A decent whack on the swede with anything hard that you can get your hands on will do the trick, hammer, rock, stick, spanner, etc. Even holding them by the back legs and swinging them down so their head hits a log or rock with pace will work. Even a smack on the bullbars of your truck. Failing that learn how to break their necks, quick and easy. Or if you want to be caveman bite their brains out. Rabbits aren't very tough to kill, like possums are etc.

    Just stomp on it. Sounds rough but it saves a lot of messing around and its very fast

    The video method is as good as any. If you try shoulder and head to break the neck they will scrag you with the back legs. Often with the higher powered LED torches they seem to think they are already dead and do the "Just go towards the light" thing.
