Is this overkill.........

[303carbine]

I don't think it's overkill, but having to use a bipod to shoot rabbit sized targets at 100 yards is pretty ghey...

I wanted to hit them while doing some load development after putting a new scope on the rifle. The bunnies were targets of opportunity, nothing ### about that.

Not enough people practise with their hunting rifles in the off season. So why not?

 

[tjsudbury]

the word auto-skin comes to mind

I really like the medical term for this. "de-glove"

I will have to remember that, de-glove.

Sure....Didn't mean to hurt your feelings.

 

[The ROC]

Nope... Not at all. I was hunting gophers with my 300 WIN MAG at one time. The down side to using that caliber is I could only handle 4 rounds and that's it I'm done for the day. Where as my buddy kept shooting away with his 22-250. The other down side was I couldn't see the explosion of them gophers through the scope with that amount of recoil. I take the pain and my buddy gets to see the aftermath... not fair.

It's only overkill if they wound up overdead.

Not much meat gonna be left on them wabbits unless you take head shots only ...

I hate the idea of wasting perfectly good meat, but that's just me.

The Eastern Cottontail is an introduced species here and are considered pests. They are so full of parasites and gooey slimy things under the skin that it creeped me out to even clean them. I noticed they smelled bad most of the time from whatever possible disease and or parasites they were packing around under the skin. The reg's here state that they can be killed anywhere anytime, so I make target practice out of them at every opportunity. If I was in the prairies no one would expect me to eat every sod poodle I blasted.

Must be a local problem, cottontails are delicious out east. Mind you, they eat clover over here.

That's right, they are not indigenous to Vancouver Island and probably have some genetic difference that makes them prone to disease that makes them stink badly.
I have eaten lots of rabbit before, but hese lil furballs have a stink that will knock a dog off a gut wagon.
I shoot'em with any large caliber, bang --poof, no more smell.
I wait around for the crows to show up and have more target practice.....

**sigh**

your obsession is creepy.

 

[Accurate]

Now I don't feel bad for using my .458WM with 500 grain FMJ's

Are you reloading that .458wm? I can't find any .458 ammo in town.(Vancouver)

Obsessed, with you?? Same answer I gave you the last time you let your, how did you put it, "Man Love" obsessions get the best of you. In your dreams "Princess Tu Tu". Just calling a spade a spade.

 

[Deadpoolx]

Bullets are for pussies.

 

[Gatehouse]

Yup, creepy...

 

[Johnn Peterson]

Yup, creepy...

There we agree!! You are definately that and it kinda' falls inline with two e-mails and a couple of PM's where I was cautioned on characteristics to 'expect' from the Burger Flipper. I'll have to share them with you one day.

 

[Gatehouse]

...and you are still obsessed

 

[Johnn Peterson]

...and you are still obsessed

Let me make it simpler so perhaps you can pick it up this time.
