I ended up in extreme north LA County on a job and rather than fight afternoon traffic home I parlayed my time into a cottontail hunt with my air gun. They were pretty thick in this area, a spot I discovered a few years ago. I walked a linear path near a creek bottom. I didn’t have my game vest on so each one I shot I laid on the trail to pick up on my way back (I’ve never seen another hunter in this spot). After I nailed number five i headed back to my car picking up my kill along the way, but number two was nowhere to be found? I searched all around but just a few drag marks where I left him. Some damn critter stole my game! I’m thinking skunk because there were a couple of roadkills in the vicinity.
