Got my first rabbit this morning...

[rdelliott]

Shot it at maybe ten meters with a 2-3/4" no.6 shell from my 870. DOA.

I always like hunting rabbits. It can be a real challenge sometimes.

My wabbits never stay together that good......I guess maybe the .338 is a little too much gun. Never thought I would say that.....

What's that on it's feet? Are those just burs?

I hope it's better table fare than my first rabbit. It was cut up & fried right away. Tougher than an old boot. The more I chewed the bigger it got. Tasted like pine trees too.

Take cut up rabbit, dip in flour and brown. Remove from frying pan, toss in roaster. Thick slice a couple onions on top, smash a couple cloves garlic also. Salt and fresh ground black pepper. Pour 3/4 cup water over top. put in oven for 3+ hours at about 250-300F. No peeking!

Will almost fall of the bones.......

This works well for any wild meat, particularly that which has maybe been in the freezer for a day or two too long.

I used to luv rabbit hunting, but Fooking GoodYear Tires bought the land I hunted on and have millions of tires piled on it now ruining good land. I knew I should have bought land years ago when I was young, instead of investing all my money on Labatt Blue at the bar.
