    They work better than subs on harder critters I find, like possums

    It would be nice to see a white rabbit if you get another one.

    Might be the go on cats, shot one at 8 metres in the chest and still made it 90 metres to the fenceline. It was stalking up on me when I was trying to call in a couple up the hill with squeaks, saw it pop up in the grass and wound the scope down and there was a puff of fur and movement as soon as my finger hit the trigger. Sure it was a good shot but just didnt put it down.

    Are rabbits with yellow flecks through their liver safe to dog tucker or best left out for the hawks?

    White hard cysts in liver mean coccidiosis which can be killed by ten days in freezer. I don't think it's a problem for dogs but I've always left'em for the hawks so there is no spreading it around.
