I gave up rabbit hunting after an event over 30 years ago. I had been out in the Maine woods hunting snow shoe rabbits. I saw one about 10 feet away trying to hide from me. I raised my 410 single shot shotgun and hit him well. Instead of dying immediately, the rabbit looked directly in my eyes and screamed a high pitched death cry that still sends shivers up and down my back when I think about it.
Call me a wimp, but it was the most pitiful sound I have ever heard in my life. So rabbit hunting, lots of fun till one looks you in the eyes and screams in agony. Sorry, didn't mean to spoil everyone's fun, but wow, I still remember that till today. Give me a goose, a duck, a deer, elk, or bear over that little rabbit.
