    do not shoot the white ones...same with goats ....they are great judas animals,easy to find and then shoot the others with them....

    Black rabbits area throw back to the original lines that were introduced, or silver tipped to be accurate.
    Very common in areas of primary release such as around Kaikoura from memory.
    Shot a fair few twofa's mostly with a shotgun, best I ever did was 4 with one barrel, very quiet rabbits so able to move around to get the alignment.

    I pulled off a 3 with one shot once, saw a small one in some long grass so smoked it with the shotgun, got over there and there was 3 lying there dead, I couldn't see the others so it was pure luck but I was pretty stoked.

    I swear the black ones look slightly larger, but some are in a litter with normal colour
