Rabbits love haystacks; and when they move in it can become a nightmare especially considering the price of hay these days. They build nests and have babies and pee and poop in their own beds, literally. They make a mess.

I went out to the barn this afternoon to feed my horses and my dog jumped this big cottontail hiding under one of my trailers near the barn. He headed towards the backside of the barn, out of sight. I ran to the house and grabbed my Ruger Single Six out of the gunsafe, stuffed some CCI HP's in it, and went back to the other side of the barn where the hasenpfeffer was headed, or so I hoped.

Sure enough, there he sat, right outside the hay stall, and I made a 10 yard shot to the head-neck junction area.
