I have never seen a dog that didn't like to roll and wiggle all over a good 4-5day old dead mole.....I've never witnessed a dog or cat eating one, but they will kill it and stash it waiting for just the right moment to enjoy the roll....

Looking like a day of rain is on its way today....going to cook some rabbit that i sent to camp freezer last week....this is our first time eating rabbit meat, sure hope we like it, still have more to send to camp.....

We like to cook ours in the oven with a few strips of bacon on top to help add some fat. We kind of follow a recipe called Baked Apple Rabbit on cooks.com

I think most of the rain is suppose to stay mostly north of here today, but it is cloudy and we will probably get some showers later today....but not much.....you'll have to give us a review on the rabbit....I've never eaten it either......but, have eaten a whole bunch of squirrel....it isn't too bad if it is fixed and treated right.....have had some so tough ya couldn't even chew it.....well, ya could chew it, but it held its original form no matter how long or hard ya had teeth on it.....

Just add some mashed potatoes and milk gravy for some real comfort food.

 

[Hens and Roos]

we put it into pot pie and it turns out good. The one recipe we didn't like was Hasenpfeffer!

Yay!!!! It would be unfortunate if you raised all those bunnies then figured out you really didn't want to eat them. Of course, there is the possibility that you could sell them for a good price to people who don't want to raise their own.

They will probably do ya a pretty good job!!....may take a little longer, but hopefully they are still doing it cause they "like to"....sure beats the "green horns" of today that do it cause they "have to".....just remember.....don't distract them too much, then they have to try and remember where they stopped at....

Rabbit is one of those dishes I can eat only about twice a year....and not in quick succession either.
Every way and time I've tried it I found it dry and tough. I don't remember which Navy base I was stationed in the SE US that served it fried every Saturday and stewed every Sunday, but it was like eating a slightly seasoned tire sidewall and just about as tasty.

The jackrabbits my old aunt used to occasionally cook in dumplins when I was a kid out in Nolan Texas, up on the Llano Estacado wasn't any better, but they were so plentiful it was free food. We slayed them by the dozens every evening right before nightfall in the sorghum fields. Like shooting skeet on the ground. There were thousands of them.

Perhaps. I've certainly always worried about wormy rabbit meat too, back when I used to hunt.
The Navy base rabbit.......well.............pretty sure that, like everything else in military.. came from "lowest bidder".
Not nearly as bad as the 2 day/week corned beef we had at MMAF & referred to as Red Death. It's pretty bad when you just grab a big cup of bug juice, walk out of the chowhall and go back to your qtrs and open a can of C-rats instead.

My niece raises rabbits...........LOTS of rabbits..and her husband bbq'd some a couple years ago. It was not bad, but not something I would go to the trouble to obtain and bbq on my own.

About the only 'wild' meat I eat is limited to aquatic.
Fish, crawfish, alligator, all other seafood except squid and octopus.
