Zeke , the last one gets a 10 for the well executed one & a half back flip ! Gees, at those temps you could just place them in foil outside & cook 'em in the sun ! Great shots & video.
Definitely gets hot out here, well for me. I moved out here from Wisconsin and even though July and August get to be a bit much heat wise I still would rather be out here then endure 5 months of winter in Wisconsin driving around in salt and slush all winter.
 
Growing up, and actually hunting for food for our need, we never ate rabbits until well after the first cold/freeze. Lot's of parasites. Warm seasons it was fins and cold seasons fur.

Caught this one red handed digging a burrow under my barn foundation. No way I will eat him. Put it back in the varmint graveyard for the coyotes to snake on.

I do a buzzard buffet with the ground squirrels I get.

Waste not want not....I always eat the squirrels too...NEED MORE PROTEIN!! Never look down on a good source of protein, hell even hamburger is over $ 5.00 a lb...if it goes much higher I might start shooting mice and adding that to the stew lol
I used to be able to buy a side of beef for under $1.50 a lb
 
I use to kill a few for meat when I was a younger. Front legs were not worth much but the hind quarts and straps would go in the stew pot. After they started to soften up I would take them out, debone and pull the silver skin from the meat. After that, you could finish the shredded meat a number of ways. I always liked them in a meat pie.

had no idea these existed, so cool. thanks!
If you'd like to do slow motion stuff the tactacam 5.0 records in 240 frames per sec so smoother than the original Tactacam which is only 120 frames per second which is a bit more choppy. Hopefully soon I will have a mount for my Akaso Brave 8 which records at 480 fps and higher resolution...anxious to see how that looks https://www.akasotech.com/brave8

Here's some vids with the akaso https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/notos-and-an-apple-todays-slow-motion-motivation.1320341/
 
nice shots and video , Thankyou I have a Pulsar Saxon .177 HP simply a great shooter . I have never even thought of moving off low power H&N 8,44
out to 60 yards .
You must get a ton of shots on low power, I don't know how many on high power I'm getting because I'll shoot maybe 2 or 3 mags at a time tops, mostly out hunting so I'm not shooting for hours on end. I did try out 10.03g H&N MK3 on medium and they were moving @ 1018 fps.

I did use them once on a rabbit @ 53 yards but kinda light, fast expansion and not much penetration. https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/53yd-headshot-w-pulsar-hp-177-slo-mo.1334853/
