suzukiray Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 That is GOOD eating!!!!! Do you stew, fry, bake, grill or what? Growing up in Missouri we hunted rabbits every winter, ate a lot of them. Squirrels too. Fried or stewed most of them. Frog legs in the summer, rabbits and squirrels in the winter. That was the most we could do with .22s as kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We seldom eat rabbit, nothing wrong with it but our rabbits are European Greys and the meat is very very bland. I think you guys have a different species of rabbit in the US, and what we call Hare you guys call 'Jack Rabbit' please correct me if I'm wrong?

I should have put something there to give a sense of scale, but yeah, these guys are huge, we'll get maybe 3 lbs of meat off this fella. The wife shot this one a while ago with her 9mm AR, to give you an idea of how big they are..... Edited December 29, 2018 by 308kiwi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
