[A bolt 22.250]

Spooky

I had that happen to me when it hit the hot frying pan once. I'd shot it, gutted and skinned it perhaps 15 minutes before. Got it home and quatered it, lobbed it in the pot and one of the rear sections damn near jumped back out again! Like yourself I was more than a little shocked!

ive had this with fish a few hours after catching and gutting them. when they go in the pan, they have started flapping about.

Nothing more than the remaining electrical signals from the brain. That rabbit will have not suffered in the slightest if it was a headshot.

 

 

 

Even though its been head shot, still worth breaking the neck

hi guys went out this evening shot a rabbit with the 12b at about 25 yards, broke its neck just for good measure even though was definatly dead. left it under a tree while i covered the rest of the field, on returning i found it moveing in exactly the same way got a vid on my phone, but at the mo my phone wont let me upload it, ill try and poast it once my phone plays ball. but i have to agree that it certanly creeped me out a little

I gutted a rabbit a few weeks ago and its muscles were twitching as I was pulling the heart and lungs out 15-20 mins after the kill. Its fur and head were already removed. Tasted nice!
