Even though I kicked him over onto his back twice, and then fired two shots in front of him, (spraying his face with gravel) he never stopped coming back at me.
I finally put a round down between his shoulders and splayed his carcass out on the ground.
Stopped by the local PD, told them that his head was intact (for rabies diagnosis), and exactly where his carcass was located. Got a call a few weeks later confirming the critter was rabid.

This "California" guy exhibited the same behavior -- and deserved the same treatment. My guess is the autopsy will be "Drugs", instead of "Rabies".
Good, self-defense shoot -- inadequate caliber...
You are dam lucky! not to many people are know to have survived full blown rabbies and they are severely disabled.
