I wasn't planning on taking this little guy until the spring after he fattened up but tonight when I was on the laptop, I thought I saw a squirrel in the yard which would have been really odd for the time of night.
It was dark, so broke out the ATN and what I discovered was this rabbit dragging itself across my yard to get under my shed.
After I dispatched it, it looks like it was most likely struck by a car. Had a broken leg and as you can see in the video, it had pretty much given up. Apologies for the shakiness, was shooting offhand which is also why I placed a second shot, this little guy had been through enough. Was about 35 yards from where I was standing.
Not my favorite kind of hunt, but necessary as the animal was definitely suffering. I didn't capture the footage of it dragging itself through the yard, but it looked painful.
