I suppose you need a shotgun if the dogs are running them by you but we usually "sniped" rabbits. We also walked down quail and woodcock. Nobody could afford that kind of dogs. ;-) |

Nobody could afford that kind of dogs. ;-) We normally used shotguns for rabbits as we mostly at the duck club when shooting rabbits. We usually just let the rabbits run off when we were shooting birds. Nobody wants to clean a rabbit you hit with a load of #8s and if you didn't get enough pellets in one, it would not go down right away, if ever. That is just unethical. He wasn't going anywhere anyhow. Go back an hour before dark and he will be hopping around. My scoped Remington pump was great for that. At 40 yards or so from a sitting hold, I could pretty much take a clean head shot every time. Poor old Buggs never knew what hit him. Made a nice side bar for the quail dish our host was making. That was really the last times I was hunting (several seasons, just outside of Berlin Md) It was camping in a wooden tent (farm house with no power or running water) and we were eating what we shot that day every night. After that I started thinking other kind of hunting was just killing things for the **** of it and I took up skeet pretty seriously. |

Chewed and chewed and chewed. Finally spit it out and had PB&J sandwiches for dinner. Groundhog was tougher than a rawhide belt." Next time put your teeth in first...could help. |

It always had a "soapy" taste to me. Never noticed, never had an appetite for rodents. |

If I even suggested it to Mrs.E., I probably wouldn't make it to the door before I hit the floor.

I suppose you've eaten some tender groundhog?" Don't recall seeing that in the display cases at my local supermarket. You didn't? Gosh, neither did I. In fact, I don't recall ever seeing rodents for sale in the meat display case, nor do I recall eating rodents. Must be a Missouri thing. They have rabbit at the store some time. Not where I shop. :) They used to have rabbit at the Giant. It was farmed but it was still rabbit. Have you actually looked? It was in the freezer case with the duck, goose and other non traditional American meat. It was a small box, local from the Eastern Shore of Maryland as I recall. I never liked farmed rabbit. It always had a "soapy" taste to me. Used to carry it at the Safeway also. Stopped quite a while back. http://www.rabbitadvocacynetwork.org/rabbit-meat/stores-that-sell-rabbit-meat/ In the rodent section next to squirrels and rats? Does Mrs. Luddite prepare these for dinner? You probably don't like frog legs either. I've tried them. Not something I'd order. Once, on a trip to New Orleans a restaurant offered a "sampler" of soups that included small servings of turtle soup, crocodile, shark and something else I can't remember. I tried them all but again, wouldn't order it on a regular basis. I don't care to think about what I ate at the daily "banquets" attended during my trip to China (PRC) in 1986. "Tastes like chicken". Ha! Other societies don't have the same hang-ups about food as we do. Monkey, dog, horse... all acceptable meats in some parts of the world. It's pretty silly to put someone down for shooting and eating a wild animal.. Some folks just don'tr have the stomach, and prefer someone else do their dirty work for them. And I'm not talking about you, Mr. Ludd. When the apocalypse comes, country boys will survive. Panty-waisted basement dwellers won't. :) |

Does Mrs. Luddite prepare these for dinner? Ah. Another assumption of being guilty by a progressive liberal. No, Harry. Only time I've even seen rabbit served as food was in the main Navy chow hall in Norfolk back in the 70's while I was attending a school there. I didn't partake. If I even suggested it to Mrs.E., I probably wouldn't make it to the door before I hit the floor. Here ... this list by the rabbit advocacy network may be more to your liking: http://www.rabbitadvocacynetwork.org/rabbit-meat/stores-that-do-not-sell-rabbit-meat/ Wonder why they didn't just say, "All the rest!" |
