One year ago and the mystery still makes me ponder. Was it me!?!?!

Was too long ago to really remember. But no obvious penetration. But the blood vessels were ruptured, but this could happen from RCD as well. Again I'll never really know.

Considering the relative scarcity of freshly dead rabbits compared to the number of living rabbits, I would simply consider it a much higher likelyhood that your rabbit got hit by a randomly slung stone rather than it just happened to die in the area you were slinging of other causes. Especially considering you were slinging the stone into an area that historically had had a higher density of living rabbits than average. Definitely an interesting story regardless 😂. It reminds me of a time that I randomly slung a stone at a bush about 15-20 feet in front of me in my yard, and a deer suddenly exploded out from it. My stone had barely missed where it had been laying down, and I had been completely oblivious.

   A few years ago I was walking with my late Kali (Husky Dog) through the woods near my house at night.  I don't like to use a flashlight when I'm in the woods at night because it ruins one's night vision.  I was following Kali's white butt down the trail as we usually did and occasionally I'd let a sling stone go back down the trail where we had just been.  After all, who else would be walking through the woods alone in the pitch dark but me.  As we neared the end of the trail I let one more stone go and heard a thud and a distinctive snort.  Much to my amazement I hit a deer.  Why a dear would be following behind us down the trail I'll never know.  I went back and searched the area for a body but found none.  The next day I went back to look for evidence. There was still no deer body or any trace of blood but there were fresh deer tracks right around where I fired the stone.  If I had been hunting and trying to hit a deer with a sling stone it might have taken me years to be successful. As c_a wrote, random things do happen.

Totally forgot about this thread. Wow time flies can’t believe how long some of you guys have been here already.
