Well, I grew up on a farm in the Panhandle of Texas. It was irrigated farmland. The jackrabbits were thick and we would chase them in a pickup. Two guys in the back of the truck would shoot, the driver and right seat would spotight. We usually shot shotguns but sometimes semiautomatic 22s. We would do it at night. This was a community practice and we went on our neighbors land as well as hunting from the county (public/caliche/dirt) roads. The dead jacks would be thrown in the back of the truck and fed to pigs at the end of the hunt. Young and old alike participated and practically all of the community did it. Seems bizarre now. I never heard of a single accident and never saw one myself. As a young teenager my favorite weapon was the semiauto 22. You would adjust your hold point by where the dust kicked up from the previous shot.
Best,
Mike
