In addition, the stress of the animal will cause chemical reactions that degrade the meat.

Tasty rabbits are killed and eaten swiftly, preferrably with a .223 and a nice Oregon Pinot Noir respectively.

They sure are.

When I was a young teen, my grandfather told me and my brothers how "in the old country", bringing someone a gift of rabbits was considered a tribute. When we got home we immediately "did the right thing".

Grandma cooked them up nicely, Grandpa grinned from ear to ear.

Nahh - takes all the fun out of it. Try a .22 Mag Colt Single Action Army stoked with shotshells. Now that's a challenging hunt. Although, for controlling the bunny population in my suburban back yard, I rely on a Sheridan .20 air rifle.
