Okay, I'm now hooked on bunnies. Especially pretty white ones because I want to tan them and try to make things like mittens. This guy was a chonker.



Anyone hunting them at night? Seems like that is when they are active. Was wondering if thermal scope or headlamp is the way to go. Any tips greatly appreciated.

A rock chuck, or officially a marmot.

Oh! Ok. Closest thing we have here are groundhogs and while I have (rarely) seen them here at home, I haven't ever shot one. People used to see them as threats to cattle because of their den-holes but right here in middle TN the only 'hole' threat we have comes from our (karst) geology, not our groundhogs. So I've always left them alone.

Got a few jacks with the 10/22. Good moving target practice!
