Too each his own, I guess. :roll:

If I through a wall of lead balls the size of a japanese car, something is bound to get hit.

Oh don't get me wrong....where is the sport in this kind of hunting? But I am just astounded that someone did it and had to share. Idle hands I suppose.

Looks very tongue in cheek to me, including the fact that all of the holes in the carcass resemble each other just a little too much. I suspect photoshop.

Ahhhh see even being raised in the digital age, I am a gullible person! Believe nothing of what you hear and half of what you see, right? ;-) Certainly something to consider

Whether it's real or satire (looks to me like the sort of thing you'd see on The Onion), it's being exploited by the anti-gun/anti-hunting websites.

Ain't nothing wrong with hunting rabbits with a shotgun. Plenty of small animals are properly hunted with a shotgun.

Just use the right kind of shot. Perhaps it's more like using 2 barrels of 3 1/2" 000 buckshot on a rabbit.

I thought howitzers were traditionally for high angle fire. :headscratch

As Uncle Duke (Doonesbury) once said "I like to soften up an area before I hunt it"
