Bullet Proof Rabbit?!?!?!?!?
hey all heres what happened.....
i went out yesterday a couple hours be4 sunset to check my dads trail timer for deer since i got home early from work and i took my single shot 12g with a full choke (remi 870 super mag is gettin refinished due to gun solvent problem [X(] ) so i took a handful of #2' s and #4' s incase i saw a jackrabbit or cottontail....
so as i was gettin close to the huge pile of garbage and brush i noticed a cottontail walkin into the pile....so i went right to where he went in and kicked him out and waited till he got 17-18 yards away and i shot....it was a complete broadside shot and the shot looked perfect and right after the shot he went rolling and kicking his legs...so i started to make my way over to him but when i got there he was gone!!!
so just think....17 yards away with a full choke 12gauge #2' s....shouldnt he be in my freezer? i could see clearly on the ground where he slid while rolling and the little sticks and stuff that was hit by pellets all around him....
after crawling on my hands and knees for over 45 minutes i ddint find a single drop of blood nor could me and my dog kick him outta anymore brush piles!!
so...WTH happened? lol....i could tell by how the pellets hit the ground that he got hit with at least 1/4 of the pellets....
anybody ever had this happen to them be4?

PS. if i would had my 870 i coulda shot him again while he was rolling and put him down for good!
