Watch the technique the rabbit uses to lose the pursuing dog. The idea is to put your scent out there, double back and wait to be passed.

They also “circle back” to where the dog originally jumps them, which is usually very close to it’s den in the ground. That’s the purpose of having a rabbit hunting dog – The hunter just has to wait for the rabbit to come back and be ready to shoot it.

That is funny – and smart!
Most of the buns I see around here I don’t notice until they suddenly move when I get too close. Then they stay still. Doesn’t seem the best recourse for survival. They have mostly been pretty small, so their likely survival tactic is to procreate like rabbits. 🙂
Brilliant!! Give him four stars !
That’s how my grandpa lost his right thumb. Way back in the 1890’s he was hunting rabbits and he jumped one. He shot at it but missed. While the dogs chased it he decided to reload that barrel of his muzzle loader and wait. As he was tamping the load the hammer of the other barrel released and that barrel went off. His thumb was over that barrel and the blast blew it clean off. It also blew off the rim of his straw hat, and the flash burned his face. He survived, but the doctor had to saw off the bone stub without anesthesia.
My dog gets right on the rabbit’s ass at full speed and the damn thing locks up and dies mid-stride. Rigor mortis sets in before the dog even licks it.
I never met him. My Dad said he could still play a 5-string banjo with the best of them, even without his thumb.
Why is it that when I saw the headline I was thinking “Holy Hand grenade”?

I was thinking “Which way did he go George?”

Joe Biden “There’s a rabbit?”
Was it a killer rabbit like the one that attacked jimma carta on the Mississippi River?
That’s the difference between scent hounds and sight hounds.
