Hey I used to live in Florida, actually Jacksonville for 8 years, but I didn't hunt back then. And I would reccommend getting those slingshot hunting pellets, I use rocks but sometimes when im only 12 feet away from a Cottontail Rabbit, all it does is stun thierbody ( which I try to get a headshot, which rarely happens) and they run off into the bush. I don't like doing this because it wounds them and when I come back the stunned Rabbit is lying in the grass, half alive andnot capable of moving,then comes my dirty part of the job, which is to snap the Rabbits neck. Thats why I purchase the steel slingshot rounds and those fly correctly and pack more of a punch. The only clean kill I have made with a slingshot firing rocks was about 4 weeks ago, I got about 16 feet away from a big Cottontail, I was with my buddys, and they help me herd the Rabbit closer to me, and I nailed it in the head. Instant kill, fractured skull. I still got the hide.
