redkite Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Went out earlier this afternoon....popped a medium sized bunny from about 30yds with my (non FAC) Rapid 1. Clean head shot. When I picked the rabbit up I noticed that its eye looked too big for its head. I assumed it was the headshot. Turned it around and the other eye was the same....both bulging. Nothing else on it....no scabs or puss or anything like that .....nose and mouth both clean. I got the knife out to clean it but couldn't face it and threw it away. Settled down and about 20 minutes later popped a young buck from about the same distance...lovely rabbit....it is cooking in a red Thai sauce as we speak! Is this bulgy eyed look an early myxxy thing or could the pellet impact have caused it? Didn't look right at all or perhaps I have wasted a perfectly good bunny....hope not.

magman Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Bulged eyes is common with head shots , if you see white spots on the liver then signs of myxxy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
