Great shooting Peter! That's a good size bunny and the other is probably her offspring. Love those Popeye eyes from the predator damage :-) That's something you don't see every day. My first squirrel kill with the 350 .22 was pretty similar but it was 1 eye that was completely hanging out and almost gone. 2 eyes is much harder, hehehe.
Younger rabbits usually hang out close to their mama whether she 's dead or alive. They 're pretty much lost without her and easy to pick out. A couple of years ago myself and a couple of co-workers watched a red-tail hawk kill a rabbit about 25yds away from the main entrance of the building while we were outside having a smoke. I noticed it first (having the hunter's eye and all). The hawk was on a branch of an apple tree and I was like what is that hawk doing so close? I scanned the area for any prey, and after I saw nothing, I noticed right below the hawk, on the grass, there was a rabbit with her young not even 1/2 her size. The hawk just dropped down on the adult rabbit and sat on it and began killing it (rabbit was squealing loudly) and then eating it. The young rabbit was first running around the hawk in a 10-15ft radius all confused and then stopped no more than 20ft away and hung around for a very long time getting low in the grass, while the hawk was dining. It did not know what to do or where to go. The hawk looked at it a few times too like telling it you just wait until you put a little more weight on :-) Baby rabbits are conditioned to run along side or behind their mother and can usually be easy pickings if they 're alone.
