Great day for bit of rabbit hunting. Baked wabbit tonight!

Obviously somebody shot that rabbit with a compound bow then set a wooden bow next to that carbon arrow for a photo shoot. No self respectin wooden bow would ever launch a carbon arrow.

Wabbit was doing his best 1970's Steve Martin impression!

Nice shootn' Mike. Having shot with you a few times I am not a bit surprised to see how expertly you skewered your dinner and saved all the best parts for the plate. :)

Good dinner tonight. Baked rabbit, sweet taters, & steamed broccoli. I know a wise fella who often says, "Life is good".

Aint nothing safe when you draw a bow back. I've seen it first hand.

Shot 4 bunnies this season. 3 were body shots ... and they managed to hop away ... carrying my arrow with them. Unable to recover any of the three, and just one of the arrows!
Decided it was gonna be head shots, or misses. Missed several, until yesterday.

Perhaps blunts would suit you better? Can a blunt kill a rabbit?
