Like Bear, I ate a lot of rabbit when I was a kid. …and squirrel. My uncle Clyde would take me hunting. I'd use Aunt Kate's .410. If we shot squirrel I'd have to wait to eat it the next day for breakfast with scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy.
But if we were lucky enough to shoot a couple of cotton tails then we got to eat them for dinner that Night! No waiting!
This post brings back some great memories. Thanks for sharing.
Just finished up rabbit season here in western PA, got me 3 rabbits the last day with a new .410. Shot pretty good. So guess what ill be doing with all these rabbits!
I don't have a count. We brought another friend along with us a couple times this year and he took his rabbits. And I didn't make it out as much as I would have liked due to the fact that my wife was pregnant and we had our second son 2 weeks ago.
I don't know if ill be getting around to smoking these real soon, but you know I'll post some good pics when I do!
I love rabbit, used to have an old man down the road when I was a wee little one he raised rabbit dogs and occasionally take me with him hunting, rabbits, coons, squirrels, it didn't matter. He used to make a rabbit sausage. His wife had some German in her. These sausages were similar to a brat. only extremely tender like a veal brat. I wonder. Anyone ever hear of rabbit sausage? It would be fun to try and make.
I get a few rabbits every season I have breaded and pan fried then into the oven Ina covered dish for close to 2hrs at 220 also have made braised rabbits with morels in a wine sauce and have brined then BBQ. I will have to try and smoke some now :drool
I am so glad I found this!! We just put about 40lbs of rabbit in the freezer and now I know how I will make some of them when I finish with my smoker build.... Mine are wild... we raise them for the meat.... have 2 does getting ready to kid any day now.... and a friend just gave me 2 Flemish Giant babies.... cant wait for those big babies!
I wondered how rabbit would be smoked and anything wrapped in bacon has got to be great!! Can't wait!!!
