i agree Harold. I have only shot one in our 19 years hare. It was very sick, nearly hairless and would come right up to the house to get the barn cat food. We were worried it would either kill one of them or pass something on to them. when ever I tried to open one of the back doors to take a rifle shot it was gone.
And so, to Garry's point, I put a couple old lead goose loads in the HE Super Fox, went out the front door and snuck around the corner of the garage, I caught it with the right barrel as it was crossing the back stone wall. Flipped head over heels and never moved, boy did that poor thing stink.
we had a three footed one around for a couple years, he had a beautiful coat and we would see him hunting field mice in the weedy areas around here, the lack of a foot didn't seem to slow him down I posted this picture of him back then
