This bow needs a name. Whatever that name turns out to be... I am gonna call it "Thumper".
A small story about myself. My handle is swamprabbit because that is the first animal I killed (other than fish). I started hunting in my 30s and a fella from church heard that I was trying to learn to hunt so he took me out to east Texas and we went squirrel hunting. I didnt see a squirrel that morning, but that afternoon, I did see a rabbit. A swamp rabbit. That primordial instinct kicked in and the hunt was on. I had to track it down and shot it with a .22
My nickname/handle for hunting will always be swamprabbit.
I have killed plenty of rabbits with my bow since... I will not pass up a shot on a rabbit.
My new lease has the opprotunity to be a rabbit heaven... but it hasn't panned out. I have seen one or two on trail cams at night only.
This morning as I was walking trails for hogs, I saw some deer and twin fawns... but no pigs.
I decided to check a trail that I had remowed and as I came around the corner, I caught glimpse of something in a tuft of grass.
When it turned its head I knew it was a cotton tail... better yet, a swamp sized cottontail. The bow drew so smooth... I swear I could have been drawing my 4 year old friend (I will have to not tell my greenleaf this story.)
"THUMP!!!!". The arrow hit its mark... the spot between the head and shoulder.
I am not gonna get another chance to hunt with thumper before my time is up... which kinda bums me out... its a sweet shooter for sure and it can drill a rabbit easily at 12-15 yards. Without having shot it but 2 arrows yesterday.
