Rascals can be dangerous. Several years ago I was walking over some bare dry hard pan kinda keeping an eye out for rattle snakes mostly at a reasonable distance. One had made him a depression in the ground and was laying in it pretty much level with it. When I saw him it was just as he leaped straight at my groin. All I saw coming was hair and bunny teeth coming fast before I managed to barely dodge him. He left some hair on my hip. I thought afterwards how I would of explained any injuries should he of hit my privates. Not sure being near neutered by a flying jack was a normal injury er docs saw very often Thought I would of just lied and said a mule kicked me.

Shot one 6 years ago that weighed 187 lbs. It was chewing on a pit bull dogs torso when I snuck up on him I remember that! I've never seen one take 3 rounds from a 460 before and to think I said it was too much gun.
Yes! A Weatherby does kill them deader.

I willing to bet that a picture of a European hare. European hares can hit 16 lbs and their first cousin the white tailed jackrabbit can hit 20. The black tailed jack rabbit tops out a 6 lbs, another difference, both the white tailed jack rabbit and European hare are edible. I don't ever want to be hungry enough to be looking at a black tailed jack as food. nothing wrong with half grown jacks, would not touch an old one
hold on Newt, we got a runaway

are you sure you didnt see the Easter bunny  you know I think you hit the nail on the head , it probably was the Easter Bunny just getting a last snack before having to deliver all the eggs on Sunday. All I can say there were 4 other peeps there and all agreed it was a big [censored] rabbit. I see jack rabbits on the airport I work at on a daily basis and agree they are in the 5-6 lb range. this rabbit was easy twice the size of those so at the very least we are talking 10-12lb. That's my story and I am sticking too it. I joined that lease and will be looking for that rabbit just so I can truly see how big that critter is. hetman  hetman,..!!! I endorse what you saw without seeing it.In animal kingdom there are unbelievable abnormalities exist. The beholder of which is mostly labelled as ???! I happened to shot J.rabbit in Tataristan (former USSR),averaging 7Kg.
