I hate those little guys. I know that they are important I know they have a right to live. I also know that for every one I see most likely there's many more I don't so.... If I'm out by my self or with some one that likes them I'll respect the other hunters wishes and not kill it. However if I'm out with my wife or kids or dog it dies faster then any one can even look at it.
A few weeks ago I took my family out for cotton tail opener. My 2 youngest just got there licence. First hunt they could shoot. We park the truck get out and start walking and in the middle of the dirt road my 12 yr old daughter yells snake then my wife yells snake, then I yell every body move and BOOM no more head. If my daughter had not said anything my wife would have stepped right on it. She did not think about looking on a road only in the bush.
