I missed this guy twice from about ten yards and i had him dead to rights in my spotlight. So since i had him blinded by the spotlight i just walked up and grabbed him. Winner winner, chicken dinner.

The rabbits would hide in the irrigation pipe. Just put a full can of oil in one end, tilt up the pipe and grab the rabbit as it was pushed out the other end. Just make sure its a rabbit in the pipe first, not some smelly other animal. A clear conscience is often the sign of a fuzzy memory.
