That's 'cuz a lot of us western hillbillies grew up eating the rabbits we shot, and a single hole in the head doesn't ruin nearly as much meat as blasting them with shot! Egg, flour, all spice, and some peanut oil and bunny nuggets came together pretty quick for lunch.

Pretty common "tradition" among old timers around here to teach kids to hunt by having them stalk and shoot rabbits. Gotta move stealthily and gotta shoot straight. Shotgunning them felt like cheating when I was a kid!
