Sitting in the front room of my castle today and my wife sees this jackrabbit in the yard. She brings it to my attention as I'm talking to 2 buddies about hunting some coyotes in the morning. Says the Mrs "theres that damn jackrabbit", says I "I'll get my bow and kill it if you want me to", says the Mrs. "you can't hit it". My bride pulled my punk card in front of my buddies, she gave me no options. Long story short after a magnificent stalk jackrabbit gets one. Now for the ooppps, in my haste to regain my testicles I took a field point and the arrow is still in the damn thing and he had enough gas to die under one of the wrecks in my neighbors car garden. Guess I'll have to go fetch my arrow tommorrow. Like I said OOOOPPPPSS and I was left with no options.
 
I did almost the same thing but it involved a feral cat, and a .22magnum pistol. The cat had just enough gas to dive far enough under the porch at camp to be unreachable. It was a pain in the ass getting it out, but I had to do it before it started to smell.
 
Last December I watched IdahoBugler and a few others chase around a jackrabbit that had taken his arrow and decided to run and run and run..... We knew where it was running since the arrow was banging and dragging on all the sagebrush as it ran by/through it. It was funny as all get out but the arrow finally worked its way out. Even arrows with judo tips and big rubber blunts fly through rabbits like nothing else. Fun times!!
 
Just an update, the arrow was recovered in fine shape. It still had a jackrabbit attached to it but I took care of that. Now my wife has changed the story to her friends as to what happened, my theory is she doesn't want her pals to think she sanctions my idiocy in any way. Good thing my buddy was there and had my back. Funny thing is we haven't seen a jackrabbit around here since then. Word must have got around.
 
Ahhh the good ol' days of living in the country....I remembered getting caught by my mom in high school shooting jacks out of my bedroom window with the .22 .... ALWAYS pick up your shell casings kids hump :D
