Eric Haug and I made a trip out west last July and managed to hit Black Gap on a full moon. I believe that night everything was suicidal. We left about 12:30 a.m. and animals were just throwing themselves under the truck. By the time we got to the bp checkpoint we had hit 10 or 11 rabbits and probably 9 or 10 of the little night hawks( I don't know what they are actually called.) It had gotten so ridiculous that we couldn't stop laughing. I know its not funny to kill animals but it was just crazy. Tears in eyes we were within sight of the checkpoint when I stated that if I hit something else I would cry. No sooner I said that and bam! Jackrabbit! I mean dead on lifted the passenger side of the truck off the ground. When we pulled up to the check point Eric and I were laughing so hard they made us get out of the truck and searched it. We had to explain what was so hilarious and explain what we had been doing. They asked if we had caught anything interesting and let us on our way shaking their heads at us the whole time.
