Fried rabbit and biscuits and gravy! Just like a sore peter, can't beat it! <thumbsup>

that sounds AWESOME!!!!!!

Yup.

Best to prep it by tossing it in the trash and cooking a steak.

LOL!!!!!!

I've never heard of grilled egg plant, but battered (sliced 1/4") & fried then sprinkle a little sugar on them as soon as they're done :drool: :drool:

Breaded egg plant sandwiches done right are like meat sammy.Egg plant takes some prepping to come out right.

Club the furry little FDE bastards. Or snare them.

If you sneak up on them, on a hill, they'll face downhill and freeze - WHACK! :bat: <thumbsup>

Little bunny foo-foo got a nice club to the back of the head. You hit 'em just right and they crumple like a sack of feed. If not you grab the body and head then twist in opposite directions. The really seems to finish the job up.

I'll eat damn near anything or try it at least once. I haven't eaten much that I don't like. I tried grilled eggplant the other night and that poop was gross! If I was hungrier than a hostage and that's all I had I'd eat, but I won't it eat it by choice anymore.

Sorry guys it took me so long to respond, been busier than a one legged man in an ass kicking contest.

Are y'all talking about Eastern Cotton Tailed Rabbits or Jack rabbits/Hares? Anyone that can sneak up and club a Cotton Tail deserves a :hail: <thumbsup> Oh,sorry for the :threadjack:

We have cottontails and jack rabbits here.

Cottontails are way easier to sneak up onto IMO. Here they like pulling that "If I don't move they can't see me" crap.

Our jack rabbits are big. Real big. Braggin' boards have lots of photos of young kids holding jacks almost as long as they are.

^^^ Yep.

Same in New Mexico. I tell people that the cottontails in Kansas were almost as big as the jackrabbits here. We ate a lot of cottontails when I was growing up in Kansas, pheasant too! I don't eat jackrabbits, and these little cottontails we have here always seem to have worms!

No, no...sometimes they have plague too.

Where about in Kansas? I grew up there (Chanute) and we do have some big damn cottontails. Our rule of thumb was rabbit was no good until after the first freeze. That first freeze seemed to kill about 99.9% of the diseased ones off. I went back in Dec to do a deer and turkey hunt. The only thing I miss about KS (hunting and fishing) besides my mom and brother.

Hell, you could deep fry the rusted bumper off a old Buick. As long as you have Ranch dressing to dip it in, it'll taste good.

I was born and raised in El Dorado and lived in Parsons before I moved to New Mexico. All my brothers and sisters are in Hutch now. Like you, I always waited until the first freeze to hunt rabbit. What I really miss about Kansas (I know, it's weird) is the spring rainstorms! I was never worried about tornadoes.

shepp · April 1, 2013

yup we only ever ate rabbits harvested in the winter month due to worms and what not.

i smacked two cotten tails in my yard last summer with a shovel, pulling that you cant see me bullpoopy.

Dang assault shovels!

Took the dog for a walk in the river bed this morning, on her extension leash. Between rabbits and birds, it was like having a june bug with a string tied to its leg.

Apparently you've never tried my Filipina wifes dried fish! :puke: <lmao>

Robocop1051 · April 2, 2013

@BLKSHEEP,

I was with a pinoy girl for years (a lifetime ago). I know you're not knockin' the lumpia, pancit, and adobo. Never had the dried fish, but the other dishes were awesome.

BLKSHEEP · April 2, 2013

^^^ Yep,all good except for the dried fried fish,if my picture was a scratch & sniff you'd be looking for bodies in my basement ;D

I was a Falconer for many years and the best way to catch rabbits either cotton tail or Jacks is with a Goshawk or A Harris hawk you can catch them all day and they do the work.... we used to catch over 150 a year we would feed most of the rabbit to the birds but we kept the backstraps and at the end of the year had a big party and had lbs of rabbit back straps ... good stuff......

Very cool brother Mike. <thumbsup>

98Z5V · April 3, 2013

Mike, I love that! That's so damn cool, brother... <thumbsup>

Robocop1051 · April 3, 2013

Next, the govt is going to put a regulation to how many talons your bird has. No more high capacity assault raptors.

98Z5V · April 3, 2013

That will only apply to California - Idaho will be fine... <thumbsup> <laughs>

Poor LEOs everywhere feel outgunned because their departments aren't issuing birds of prey.... and the TV ads featuring prominent politicians....

"Ya know, I have two parakeets myself and I just can't understand why anyone would want or need a bird of prey. How can bunny owners all over the nation be at ease with these predators prowling the skies at will?"
