I just hope you’ve got enough antlerless tags to cover those too does.

Rabbits taken with. 50 snipersling maxed out 8 mm steel , low band life bit extremely fast.

Hunting was hard due to high winds i aim down the bands.

I prefer to stalk sitting rabbits. But need more rifle practice.

Glad to see that you did not use mechanical expandable broadheads on those pesky wabbits and chose penetration as your first priority. As for the rifle caliber selection, I think you could have had better results with a 458 Lott. I’m guessing that you will be taking elk with 55mm artillery rounds now or are you thinking HIMARS?

Scott, I had a hard decision to make. And chose a rifle I hadn’t killed anything with. It’s a heavy rifle. And was a pain to maneuver in my swamp. The alders are pretty thick.

Using a stick bow or rifle teaches me to slow down and use my eyes and glasses to find a sitting rabbit. Good stalking and shooting practice cheap. And I have a LOT of rabbits.

When I bought my 375 H&H several years ago, the quick release scope he shipped directly to me and the rifle to an FFL. I put the scope back on after picking up the rifle, wasn't too sure about taking scope off and putting it back on, so I took the 375 H&H out looking for a Nutria, 1 shot one kill at 200 yards. I sent email to the guy that I bought rifle from and said my first kill was a Cape Nutria

Have you submitted this one to SCI, might make gold...

It’s a start on your journey to the Diamond Level, Inner Circle of worldwide Rodentia.

I do not even know what the proper scoring method is on a bull rabbit. Skull? Body? Tusks?

I tried to search trophy rabbit and got this,

Your attire is genuinely inspirational. I've hunted moose a time or three similarly clad. Well done sir.

@NDWoods I always thought the the trophy bunny’s were displayed on the centre pages

Ha! You beat me to it! He's lucky he wasn't charged by one of these. They can tear your ball sack wide open with their antlers. LOL

It's their weight and length of the ears by species according to B&C and SCI. Only exception are Jackalopes, where SCI scores them similar to a whitetail deer with of course handicaps for their size. FYI.

I have a friend in North Dakota who hunts deer with a 375 head shots only he calls them canoe heads.

This reminds me of the article Ross Seyfried wrote on his .577 Rigby. He took it hunting jack rabbits in CO and said their little hides could not contain the hydraulic displacement. What a statement.

 

[Altitude sickness]

Cottontails can not either. I did not show the left side. The pressure blew everything out the left side. It made the cleaning process quicker.

Nice stalking training and a iron sighted rifle, good way to spend a morning.
