First Bow Kill
Well i have good news finally. I went shooting my bow a couple of days ago and took a shot at a jackrabbit at about 20-22 yards. I wasn't sure if i hit it because it took off in a hurry and kicked up alot of dust. I heard it run into some thick brush that was just off to its right and can hear it moving around but with alot of noise. I went out yesterday evening to do some more shooting (didn't see anything out there) and i though I would go ahead and check out that area again just in case. About 10 minutes into the search, I came across my arrow and it had blood on it. I figured if maybe my arrow was there, maybe there was an chance the rabbit was in the area. Sure enough, about 30 or so feet from where i found my arrow, was what was left of the rabbit (the 'yotes got to it) I couldn't tell where i hit it but i know that i finally got my first bow kill

RE: First Bow Kill
Thanks to everybody to replied so far
I wouldn't be brave enough to eat an jackrabbit lol. I used to patrol the canal that i go shooting at back when i was working for an security company because of some drownings that happened the year before. The canal itself is owned by the state but the property that it runs through belongs to the farmers out there. I got permission way back in my patrol days so i can come out there and take out squrriels and/or rabbits (have to wait until next month for cottontails, the season begins next month) because they are destroying their fields.
A jackrabbit? Yuck! Let us hope it is something tasty if this is the case!
