Killed one of the Tiny Eleven this morning

I just hope you’ve got enough antlerless tags to cover those too does.

Glad to see that you did not use mechanical expandable broadheads on those pesky wabbits and chose penetration as your first priority. As for the rifle caliber selection, I think you could have had better results with a 458 Lott. I’m guessing that you will be taking elk with 55mm artillery rounds now or are you thinking HIMARS?
 
Scott, I had a hard decision to make. And chose a rifle I hadn’t killed anything with. It’s a heavy rifle. And was a pain to maneuver in my swamp. The alders are pretty thick.

Using a stick bow or rifle teaches me to slow down and use my eyes and glasses to find a sitting rabbit. Good stalking and shooting practice cheap. And I have a LOT of rabbits.
 
When I bought my 375 H&H several years ago, the quick release scope he shipped directly to me and the rifle to an FFL. I put the scope back on after picking up the rifle, wasn't too sure about taking scope off and putting it back on, so I took the 375 H&H out looking for a Nutria, 1 shot one kill at 200 yards. I sent email to the guy that I bought rifle from and said my first kill was a Cape Nutria
 
I do not even know what the proper scoring method is on a bull rabbit. Skull? Body? Tusks?

I tried to search trophy rabbit and got this,

It's their weight and length of the ears by species according to B&C and SCI. Only exception are Jackalopes, where SCI scores them similar to a whitetail deer with of course handicaps for their size. FYI.
 
I have a friend in North Dakota who hunts deer with a 375 head shots only he calls them canoe heads.
 
This reminds me of the article Ross Seyfried wrote on his .577 Rigby. He took it hunting jack rabbits in CO and said their little hides could not contain the hydraulic displacement. What a statement.
 
Nice stalking training and a iron sighted rifle, good way to spend a morning.
 
Your attire is genuinely inspirational. I've hunted moose a time or three similarly clad. Well done sir.

We need pictures, or it didn't happen. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

I honestly don't know if I have any... I will say that I even bought period-specific eyeglasses to with my clothing choices. I was striving for something from the 1940s-ish.

I just saw Budsgunshop.com has both the guide gun and the African for $1150. FWIW - I bought both and decided to use the Guide gun - I restocked it in a Bell and Carlson stock and I added the Alaska arms floor plate to add a round. I wanted the shorter barrel as I will use a suppressor. I wont go lower than $1100, but I will ship it and no sales tax.

Let me know if you are interested
