Hunting & Fishing Wabbits

That looks like a ton of fun! Is jack rabbit as edible as cotton tail? If so that's a good start to a meal. The rifle looks like something in a Boyds Tacticool with a Silencerco Sparrow. 22LR or something bigger?
 
A couple of months ago, I had to take my dog into the vet to get a larvae dug out of his belly. Apparently, the larvae came from a fly that likes to lay eggs around rabbit burrows. Dog is fine, my wallet is $150 thinner. Rabbits are still running around the wildlife area next to my place.
 
Not bad for an hour walk...

Jack Rabbit is great as long as you cook it right! The rifle is a cut down Ruger American .22lr with Silencer Co Sparrow. Scope is a VX-2 6-18x40mmAO Target. Ammo used was Eley .22lr match Hollow point. I have since swaped scopes for a Leupold Mark AR 3-9x40mm TMR. Running Jacks are much easier to hit on 3x LOL.

That pic is at least 9years old. The old girl still has the want to, but her knees won't let her. It's been at least 4 years since my dad's beagles were at the top of their game, I miss it badly.

Last year I was outside of del rio and yes the jack rabbits are huge in Texas. I watched one clear a 4 foot barbwire fence while hunting.

Looks like a good environment to play "Jack Rabbit Jeopardy".

A game where two or more people hunt jacks for score. The simple rules are:

1. Number of shots needed to kill the jack, divided by the length of their ear (in inches) is your score.
2. If you miss, you deduct the same value from your score (you can't go below a zero score; no negative scores).
3. Generally done with .22LR's (so that everyone is on a level playing field).
