I did exactly the same last week when I went over the back end of a rabbit and had to get out and kill the front end. Not always possible of course (motorways etc).

Still, I bet everyone with a rifle has hit a rabbit in the face rather the cranium. Easily done with a deer heart shot too (hitting the gut). If they run off, there's not much chance of finding them.

Getting a bit off topic. I'm prepared to discuss this in a separate thread if you wish.

PS so long as nobody starts getting abusive

I would agree with you on both accounts there Ric.

It's always interesting to hear the views of all sides of a debate, in the right forum.
Go for it!
I for one will remain polite and respectful.....I might not agree with you though
