"I caught a big one!"
I looked over to see Dave holding what looked to be a fifty-pound rabbit. He was so ecstatic about his catch that I hated to bring him down by telling him we were supposed to be hunting for deer. Apparently Dave had wandered off when we were hiking of Peak Point, and found a rabbit's burrow behind a patch of oak trees. Dave said that there were approximately one hundred rabbits nestled together in that burrow, but he only picked up his favorite one. This rabbit was the equivalence of about ten rabbits combined. It's ears alone were about two feet each in height. I had never eaten rabbit before, but consuming this animal would be more like eating a product from a cow. We packed up our materials, with each of the ten men who came on the trip bringing an animal home. The eight other men, and I proudly housted a deer carcus on our back. Dave carried his rabbit by the fur on the back.
The funniest part was that Dave hadn't even killed the animal. He claimed that killing a rabbit of this size, would be like killing Big Foot. I couldn't argue with that. He also told us of his plan; Dave didn't plan on consuming this animal. He wanted to make it a domesticated pet. When we got back to the city, Dave showed everyone of his great feat. Some applauded, some dropped their jaws in shock, but everyone was amazed by the size of this gigantic forest creature. When Dave brought the rabbit home, his wife was not impressed. She said that if Dave wanted to keep the rabbit (now named "Notorious B.I.G Fuzzy"), then he would have to sleep outside with BIG. Dave didn't argue with that. Dave and BIG became great friends. BIG was there to console Dave when Dave's wife divorced him, and Dave was there to teach BIG how to speak english. The largest rabbit in the city's history had also became the first rabbit to ever talk. Dave won a Nobel Peace Prize five years later for house-training, and teaching english to BIG. BIG was even going to Kindergarten and learning how to function as a social being.
