I once heard from an old trapper that your not supposed to eat rabbit in any month that does not have an "R" in it. It was disease related but can't remember the particulars. Might just be an "old trappers" tale though.

Tularemia is a bacterial infection that is common when rabbit populations are high. It can be spread to humans through the skinning process. You see blister like pockets of water in the flesh, just under the skin. I've seen it in November when rabbit populations were crazy high.
