hunt or be hunted

i finally recieved one of woodstokas pups and was itching to try it out. after having two shots at the target and being very impressed i went for a walk with only one arrow because its the only arrow i have left :shock:
i started my walk around the plataue like usual, my friends and i have been doing a bit of ferreting in my area and the rabbit numbers are reducing :( i didnt see nearly half the number of rabbits that i usually see, it wasnt looking good the sky was turning into rain clouds and the rabbit activity was poor.
i reached the train tracks and kept walking along them for about 10mins on the left hand side of the train tracks there was coffee bushes and a couple of small blackberry bushes, i could hear rabbits moving around in them as i was walking past and as i reached the last blackberry bush i looked down and saw two ears moving around and i stopped in my tracks, the wind was blowing strong to my right so i turned and drew, placing my pin on its back which was the only part that was hitable i released and as my arrow hit its point a rabbit jumped up and ran off :? and i thought i had missed and it was gone.
i walked down to get my arrow and i saw a rabbit poke its head up from where my arrow was when it was me it stumbled out of the bush and into the open. i quickly got through the coffee bushes walked over and picked up the paralized rabbit. after finishing it off with a quick hit to the back of its head with my hand i investigated looking for where the arrow had struck it. i soon discovered the pup had hit its spine and spined it paralizing its back legs :shock: i thought to myself i had done pretty well considering the loss of rabbits around my place and i will be buying some more of woodstokas pups well done jesse :wink: in the end i took the rabbit home and butchered it to sell as dog food. and it truely was just another bunny.
the final results...
