G'day,
In the absence - mostly - of foxes willing to play centre-fire 'catch' I've been chasing hares around my and other properties with the .22WMR and 30 gr V-max. [The little bullets make a real mess of the internals, though I did think I'd missed one hare as it ran off. I shot it again a few minutes later. When I butchered it I found that the first shot was a complete pass-through between the ribs on both sides.] I was raised in the 1950s and ate a lot of underground mutton growing up as chicken was a luxury that was only served on special events, but have never eaten hare. I've heard that to make it palatable it must be hung for a couple of weeks until it turns green. On that basis it's highly unlikely I'll ever eat one, hence it's going to the dog.
As for foxes I did con one to stick its head out of a bunch of blackberries along a steep creek bank a few days ago with a mouse squeak type call on my Icotec. It was sitting at 82 yards and about 35 feet lower than where I was perched so I shot it straight down through the middle of its chest. It flipped over backwards, screaming like it was being given a barb-wire enema. Unfortunately it fell back down the creek bank into the blackberries and I couldn't find it. I've never heard one scream when shot before, but my hearing isn't that flash.
