Well after a very hard week that most don't know the story, I decided that I needed to get out and clear my head and also try and use my deer tag up. I really didn't care what I shoot as long as it was legal. This after noon a friend Perry joined me and so we headed for a watch.

As we drove in, Perry spots a Jack rabbit at a tree so we pass him and I take the bow and walk back. Its hard to move in the crust but I got a small window and shot and made a perfect hit. We headed to the shooting house and got setup and after a 1 1/2 hour later we hear crunch, crunch, crunch , we look at each other like "did you hear that !" I grab the bow and got set and in comes this small meat buck breaking through the ice top snow and I decided that I would try the ExCal on it and at 16 yards. I got a complete pass through something I have not yet to get with this bow.

These 150 gn Bolt Cutters (interloc's) did the job perfect.

A Double night !

 
Congrats! That young buck should be great eating.......I can smell those steaks already on the BBQ. Is that hare a relative of yours?:p
 
Way to go Adrian. Any day in the bush is a good day. A day in the bush and a double,well I see the smile. Now thats stress relief. Awesome job.
 
Nice work! I went out for rabbit yesterday and the ice on the snow was so loud I when I took a step it was literally echoing around in the trees! That you managed to put the sneak on anything is amazing!
 
Nicely Done Adrian...now when are you going to take that cross bow out and stick a couple yotes while using it?
BTW, I am eating Tag Soup again this year...
I may become a vegetarian cause we all know it is an ancient Indian word for poor hunter.
Best Regards,
Rob

Prairie Jack's are a completely different species and are native to Canada. What Adrian shot is not really a "jack" rabbit but are in fact a species introduced to southern Ontario many years ago. They are a European Hare. We knew them growing up as "jackrabbits". At one time they were very plentiful and as a teenager I shot several. They are usually larger then the true Prairie Jack and often tip the scales at about 9 pounds. They do not turn white in winter like the jack rabbits of the prairies. Neither do Cottontail rabbits which are native to southern Ontario. Given a preference though of the different species I will take a Cottontail any day for eating, those little beggars are tasty!!
