I took a walk this afternoon for squirrels and couldn't find one. So I started kicking brush piles. Seems stupid since I have 2 good rabbit dogs at home in their kennels.
Anyhow, I kicked up 2. The first one ran a short spell and stopped so I blasted where I last saw it. Dead rabbit!
As far as the 2nd rabbit, I saw a greenbriar tangle so I eased up and looked into the brush pile and could see it's black bead eye... Very seldom do I pick them out but this one I did...so I got on the ready and stepped up closer, it darted out, did a 180 and zig zagged down across and all I can say is there was fire, smoke and leaves flying up everywhere but the rabbit was still goin'.
So much fun.
Bet you only missed that second one by a hare.
 
@Juniata ’s post here should qualify for some sort of tongue in cheek award. “Most innocent post eliciting most Monty Python and Bugs Bunny responses” could be one award category.
Or “Most serious post resulting in greatest amount of humor” category.
I have enjoyed all of this, every single response. All in the spirit of fellowship and good cheer 👍
 
Great stuff, your story of seeing the rabbits eye reminds me of my Grandpa. My Dad would often tell me stories how my Grandpa would shoot rabbits all the time sitting…he had a knack for knowing where to look and seeing their eyes.
