The Duncan 802 Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Hi guys, I'm sure most of you will have seen this before, but its the first time I've had a recording device to hand when its happened. I shot this buck rabbit just before I left for home (1/4 mile away) and it went from being head shot to my kitchen in less than 10 minutes. Usually I've seen this effect after I've skinned the 'patient', but this time my lurcher pup touched the bunny's back with her nose and triggered off the reaction. <embed width="440" height="420" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://v5.tinypic.co...file=k2fd6s&s=5"> As you can see, my videoing skills are on a par with Paulus' photographing skills Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Duncan 802 Posted March 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Good meat in the freezer The twitching is caused by post mortem nervous stilumation. The dog touching the back made the nervous fire for one last burst. It happens more often when the rabbit is skinned and you just touch the tip of the knife against the spine- tiny electrical current from the metal knife triggers the same nervous reaction and that looks amazing - seeing the muscles contract and relax. I'll do a vid of that when I next get the chance Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moll. 1,770 Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 As you can see, my videoing skills are on a par with Paulus' photographing skills Dont be daft, you can tell that is a rabbit On a similar note, my very first thread on a hunting forum many years ago. I titled it 'Alive without a brain' i got called an anti for writing it... Basically one of my young lurchers caught a rabbit, when i got to it, she had eaten its head and one front leg, the chest was open to see inside and the heart was till beating. I stood for 6 minutes and it kept going just as strong. Now 6 mins is a VERY long time for a heart to beat in a headless animal but it did happen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
