Title: my first rabbit!!!
Post by: steeliedrew on September 02, 2013, 11:03:47 PM: I was walking back down the trail to my mountain bike tonight. My bow was already on my pack. Then I spotted him. I was able to take my pack off, remove the bow, nock an arrow and draw. I put my 20 yard pin on him and let the arrow fly. Head shot and it was bunny in the bag!!! flushed 6 grouse today too but couldn't get a shot at them with the bow. By the way...Havalon knives are extremely sharp. I love mine.

Hard to beat a good squirrel hunt. I saw some of the biggest bucks I ever laid eyes on hunting squirrels in October.

Got a lot of them with my 20 yard pin... and your rabbit brings back memories. I shot one rabbit at 40 yards one time. Got lucky and hit him! It was surpising as heck, because I was always a lousy shot. That must be a sharp knife. Looks like you skinned him with a scalpel! :tup:
