He tried to turn and run, looks like my first shot shattered his back leg then took him clean with the second.

Hope I can get the photo uploaded right.

Good shooting. Will make some good eats. I'm still waiting on my bunny.

Nice shooting.  
Wow that's some damage to the hind leg.  What gun did you use?  

I have not shot a bunny in very long time.  We just don't have them around any more.  Too many hawks and other predators.

Where I am at there is no predators for the rabbits so they are plentiful here.

I took my shot with my Gamo Big Cat that is stock with the exception of a trigger a Leapers 5th gen 3-9 50 pushing CPHP's down the tube from about 15 yards.

Too bad about the hind leg had he not tried to run would have been a head shot.
