Default RE: My Wabbit Slayer

Nope, don't eat the jack rabbits. Leave them out for the coyotes to munch on. I was seeing insane amounts of jackrabbits. The night before on my way out there, I could see 4 or 5 in my headlights a lot of the time. They are everywhere. There is a guy that wants to save jackrabbits for this lady that has a raptor recovery farm so they can learn how to hunt again, but he wasn't at the guzzler project we did on Saturday, so the other wild animals got three free meals. Next time, I will come prepared with a burlap sack so I can keep the flies and stuff off and get them to the lady that has the birds.

I shot these guys at about 40, 75 and maybe 100 yds or so. I tried taking longer shots at some more, mabe out to 200, but I kept shooting just high. I need to go back to the range and confirm where the bullet is hitting at that range. I know it is dead on at 100, so I don't know why it is shooting high at 200. That load should easily kill rabbits out beyond 300 yds if I can do my part.
