The legs are still good. The backstraps look like they have a little bit of ballistic tenderizing.

for me... i would prefer more lift off instead of spread

rabbits are pests wherever they go unchecked, especially when their predators are low in numbers. This is just pest control.

Rabbits look cute to teenage girls, but in agricultural area they do more damage than rats, and I imagine no one here will lament rats being shot.

Much agreed on the fact that they are pests and that is a reasonable reason for killing. But there are more reasonable calibers for the job. Having respect for the life is what I am trying to advocate. Would you hunt a deer with a howitzer? No so why hunt a rabbit with a round designed for a much larger animal?

it seemed to do the job rather quickly and humanly.

me, i prefer to chase them down in my pickemup truck with a couple a good ol' boys in the bed with a 12ga and some PBR. that way they at least get a runnin chance!

These are the a holes I can't stand. I don't care what his reasons were nor do I really care. If he was doing pest control, fine by me. But idiots that go that much over on overkill making it look absolutely barbaric give the rust of us hunters a bad look. One person who doesn't like hunting will use that garbage against us and those that don't have an opinion one way or another are likely to end up not liking hunters thinking they are barbaric. I love watching hunting videos but showing something with that much overkill is what is going to take our great sport down.
