John, you're welcome on my farm anytime. But hunting in my county is shotgun only for deer. Rabbits and about anything else is .22. Odd though you can shoot big bore all you want in target 'practice'. Bye at almost 59 I can still flip a groundhog at 250 yards with a .303 British with v sights. That's bench rested though. Best one I did was a groundhog at approx. 375 10 years ago.

Wasn't that illegal? Could a .223 be used for varmint hunting?

No you can use high powered to hunt about anything but deer. a .223 would rip a rabbit up though.

The only way to get a decent rabbit is with a .22. Otherwise you are
picking birdshot out of it.

I shot a couple but I was not that big a fan of the meat. It has a
funny wang to it. Commercial rabbit is worse.

The last one I ate we took with a 69 Corvette.
I must have just whacked him in the head with the spoiler and there
really didn't seem to be a mark on him. My roomie insisted on taking
it home and cooking it.

It was as good as any other I had.

Dang, you're the only guy I know who has actually eaten at the Road
Kill Cafe. :-)
