MM Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 more often than not, you will get some twitching and movement, but just pull the neck to make sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zapp Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Beaten to it, but I was also going to mention having skinned rabbits soon after shooting that the flesh sometimes "flutters" in a rather disconcerting fashion ZB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kip270 Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Yep it's normal, muscle memory, you find it more if the bunny was spooked before you shot it, but it is DEAD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 I had that happen the other day. I shot a Rabbit at 250ish yards with the Hornet. Head shot, pretty much headless. My mate went to fetch it, got it back to the truck and I gutted it. Threw it on the back and it started kicking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
