jepp2, that was the first thing I thought of when I saw them on the back of the 4 Wheeler! I have often wondered the same, they eat nothing but the finest grass and alfalfa. We ate a LOT of cotton tails in our life time. WE also ate Jack rabbits shot in the Winter, 7 minutes in a pressure cooker under full steam, 1/2 onion, 2 cloves of garlic...eat till you pop with the meat right out of the pressure cooker. Old Mexican woman(precious neighbor) taught me to cook the jacks. They would have a family get together every time I shot and cleaned them 10 or so, taco's, enchilada's, Burritos, and some specialty dishes.
I don't think that the Chucks would be tough at all.
In many restaurants, Turtle is a a delicacy. We grew up catching Mud Turtles(snapping Alligator turtles) in ponds and creeks. Small ones under 5 lbs were delicious fried, and the larger ones were made into stews.
A yearly forage up to Greenville, Tn setting traps for the snapping turtles was normal for us boys growing up. We would come back to SC with over 100 in the bed of another pick up. The whole neighborhood and Church group would show up to see all of those monsters biting and snapping at each other. We had one heck of a Men's group at church that pitched in to clean and cook....those were some great times.
Not many eat wild game anymore.

Not really the shooter plays a role, know the limitations of the caliber you choose and practice, and you get results. Man I do like the 17 hornet. I've shot SO far to about 225 yards all with positive results.
You mean like these? I caught these at my neighbors spring fed lake, a 45 pounder when I find the picture I'll post him, these aren't too shabby coal shovel for comparison.

I get it. Made many kills out to 300 (and maybe a little further) with mine.

Good frying size! Congrats on the catch! Will save your neighbor a lot of fish!
And baby swans.
What have you taken at 300, i've not had a shot at that range yet, rare where I hunt but some spots definitely doable.
Prairie dogs mostly
