Geez

That's not a varmint, that's a rabbit. They are good to eat. At least you got the bullet placement right. Nice shot

In some places rabbits are varmint. When they are at the top of their cycle and the preditors can't keep up they become varmint. When I was about 15 we had an explosion in the rabbit population and when out hunting you could shoot one every 5 min. hour after hour.

Guys,
We dont have Chucks, P/dogs etc, in Britain so rabbits are our varmints. Certain parts hold huge ammounts of rabbits and great sport can be had although long range is not usually an option.
