Rabbit Tricks
 
I am wondering if anyone has ever seen this before.. if not then I may have to seriously doubt my sanity.

Went out early this morning rabbit hunting. I set up before daylight waiting near thickets where I have seen rabbits. Sure enough soon after daylight I see one hopping around. Then he does a 'handstand'.. and starts walking on his front legs.. just like a person would do! He does this briefly, then back down on all fours. I was too stunned to even think about taking a shot at him. This bunny was just too talented!

Anyone ever seen or heard of this? I know I know.. it was new years day.. but I swear I did not do any drinking last night. :)

Here is a pet rabbit doing this on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRzAs7C6zn4

I am not a very experienced rabbit hunter, but the only ones I have seen have been early morning or late evening coming out from briar thickets. I got one here a few weeks ago when I walked along this path which borders the thickets with my shotgun and pegged him as he was running from the path back to the thickets. So I figured I would set up on that path with my 22 and wait for them to come out.

Diaper
 
I think the rabbit was trying to say that he needed his diaper changed, lol.

I raise rabbits and let some go free in with my goats and they run and play but I have never seen them do that before lol

shoot him and see if the taxidermist can mount him doing a hand stand. that will be a conversation piece :)
