Come up to shooting level and both shot. Got mine he says. No you didnt says me, I got mine, you missed. A dozen or so rabbits on the flat and we picked the same one. Skinned victim, with two holes in it.

That reminds me of a tale when Dad had worked in animal control back in the 50s(?) A group of 5 or so of the guys all got to a clearing and spotted a mob of deer feeding. Leader says "I'll knock over the stag, each of you take a hind from left to right' Lined up and shots rang out....One stag dropped and all of the hinds departed quick smart. Everyone of them had shot the stag- it had no chance....
