Not easy, but worth the tasty effort.
Natural selection has endowed Le Lapin with effective camouflage, total situational awareness, terrific acceleration, enormous agility and the "hare brain" so famous for odd acrobatic/gymnastic changes of course that befuddle pursuing natural predators.
A .22 rifle vs a shotgun w/ bird-shot is a more sporting, if less productive for the pot, method favored by my kin for rabbit hunting.
A quiet stalk with a single decisive shot is required rather than a futile fusillade in the general direction of an alerted/fleeing Bunny-Wabbit.
