I was out rabbit hunting with my 12ga Muzzleoading shotgun. My dog love to chase rabbit, and when she would scare one up I would run to the place where she scared it up at.
[rabbit will run in a large circle]
I am sitting on a fallen tree waiting. I can hear my dog darkling and she is starting to get close, I get my shotgun at the ready and out of the thick underbrush pops the rabbit about 20 yards away.
The rabbit starts running straight at me, I take aim and fire! It takes a moment for the smoke to clear, and when it does I can’t see my rabbit. Where did it go? Was it to close when I fired? and I blew it to pieces? did I miss altogether?
I look down and right at my feet is this rabbit, just sitting there. I had missed all together.
Now what? “I’m thinking” it’s to close to shoot. So! I hit it in the head with the barrel of my shotgun. Whatever works!
