I've never had rabbit before but my new house is lousy with them.
Leave the garage open for more than 20 minutes and 3+ of them are hanging out in there and scare the shit out of you. Almost nightly I have to let one or more out of my garage because its banging around at night
It's a rural area and they are fat as fuck and I want to try one. Also I don't even need to hunt them sense they will just come in the house if i open the door, so it'll be easy as fuck.
Whats a good bunny recipe?
They are Cottontail's
also what do they taste like compared to traditional meats?
>>7881871
DO you really want a bunch of crazed rabbits coming after you because you killed one of their brothers. Think this through.
>>7881871
Pretty sure I've heard that wild older rabbit can be pretty bad for ya. The younger they are, the less chance they have of carrying some disease or some shit. I wouldn't try killing and eating rabbit on your own unless you know what you're doing.

What's the worst that could happen? An upset stomach? People hunt rabbits all across the US all the time
I'll keep in mind the older ones carry diseases sometimes though
>>7881908
They can carry trichinella. You should freeze the meat before consumption.
>>7881903
Rabbits are the bananas of the wild game world. They're ridiculously easy to strip and dress. You really peel their pelt off with your hands.
>>7881908
deep freeze the meat to kill parasites, and obviously cook them through just in case its rabid
>>7881914
Look who's been watching game of thrones. You can say the same about squirrels and ducks, m8.
Road by this little big sucker during a night ride a day ago. A damn shame.
>>7881914
Their necks also break very easily.
>>7881881
They're kind of like a lean chicken almost. I like poaching mine in a white wine and mustard sauce for an hour until it's tender enough to fall off the bones.

Well my usual procedure is to kill, cut off the head and feet, then skin. Gut, save any organ meat you want (liver mainly) and check EVERYTHING for worms or other parasites. Make sure you don't puncture it's shit sack, or you just fucked up the meat.
Wash it down with a hose, take it in the house, then debone the whole damn thing. Take the bones and ribcage, then start making your simple bunny stock by simmering water with maybe a halved onion, bay leaf, and black peppercorns. Fry up the meat in batches using bacon fat.
From there, cut the meat into bite-sized pieces, fry onion and garlic, and braise the meat until it's fork tender. Throw in your root vegetables about a half hour before the meat's done, make sure you've seasoned everything the way you like it (season from the beginning), then serve it over some rice.
>>7881973
sounds good.
Thanks!
>>7881937
i see what you did there, even though it seems like nobody else did
>>7881892
Why not just more food for op
>>7881871
Well you need to ask yourself at this point, do you want to eat A rabbit, or do you want to eat Many rabbits. If you want best quality and more yums, you should capture a few, feed them on goodness to get them plump and tasty, then eat one now and then. They will breed and thus you will have swarms of docile little meat slaves living in your back yard. You will need a pen for them, or just build a fence around your yard to trap them inside.
>>7882336
Rabbits are good diggers, just saying
>>7882375
Aw crap, right right. Good call. You may need some under ground fencing aswell, or maybe if you just feed them enough they wont want to leave. Feel free to chip in on tasty rabbit death camp plans.
rabbit is supposedly very bland and stringy btw.
one of the reasons why humans never tried to fully domesticate an animal that reproduces quickly and just eats your lawn for free
>>7882414
actually I would imagine it's because they're so lean you can literally starve to death eating them
>>7881871
Wild cottontail is light years tougher and will have a marked gamey flavor when comparing it to domestic meat rabbit.
That said I love it. I only use it in soups and braises though to get it tender. Hassenpfeffer is fucking awsome.
>>7882433
isnt that how that guy in alaska died , you know the dude who wanted to live off the land?
>>7881871
The season is typically in the winter because they can have ticks, fleas, and other bugs. Other than that, they are really lean. They have to be cooked low and slow like stew or something. I've definitely made boot leather out of them on a grill. They dry out quick
>>7882433
Fucking rabbit starvation. Throw some fatty stuff in with the food and you are good to go. Or jusy have rabbit in between other, fattier meals.
>>7882455
It's a well documented and understood fact that eating little to no fat in your diet is fatal.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit_starvation
>>7881871
Worked at a joint that did a lot of rustic Italian-style food and we made a braised rabbit dish with pasta. Flour the bunny, sear quick, and braise in chicken stock with mirepoix, sage, rosemary, and garlic. 200F for forty five minutes to an hour.
I'd also reduce the braising liquid, strain, maybe add a little cream to it, and serve it over the rabbit.

And cook it thoroughly.
1) No one leaves a garage door open unless they want mosquitos, snakes, rats, wasps, palmetto bugs, possum, and shit in their house. Maybe if this is something you do for air current because you don't run your A/C, you should invest in a screen for it. Like $200 for a double car garage screen from Home Depot. Get the sliding kind if possible, more structure. Fixd.
2) I think rabbits where I live in Florida are "native" and therefore protected. It's annoying because it's difficult to walk my dog without some shoulder dislocation when they are spotted by my spaniels. They have a "dare you!" kind of unfearing look at my dogs or me. Of course, they breed like rabbits. If they bother you so much....get snakes :(
I wouldn't eat stray rabbits in urbanized areas, they are pretty good disease vectors.
If you're still willing to do so I have a non messy technique (besides some rigor mortis piss here and there), grab the rabbit upside down and put its head on the floor, put a broom stick/handle right above his neck and hold it with your feet, now violently pull the rabbit's legs until you hear a distinct crack sound.
When gutting, be careful about the liver area and the intestines, of course, don't use knifes inside unless you're know what you're doing.
>>7881871

>>7882414
I've eaten rabbit and it's not bad.
>>7882414
There are domestic rabbits. They are descended from European rabbits, not cottontails.
I just want someone to capture wildlife and then farm them to show us many different dishes made of said wildlife.

>>7881908
>An upset stomach? People hunt rabbits all across the US all the time
Maybe they are trained hunters. I heard some bad stories about people in my dad's neighbourhood (he's a farmer) where some people ended up in hospital after hunting and eating rabbits. I don't know the specifics, just be careful when doing that stuff on your own.
>>7882396
>a few walk into garage
>close garage
Not sure how to kill them yet though without inflicting any pain on them or being bit.
Maybe just run my car in the garage for an hour?
>>7883595
>carbon monoxide poisoning your meat animals
It would probably keep the meat looking visually appealing for longer as well
Most grocery stores selling factory farm trashmeat use carbon monoxide to make it look "fresh"
The danger of illness has been thoroughly covered (never eat summer bunny), as have cooking methods, so I'll add this: shoot the murderous little fuckers and throw them innawoods, go to your butcher and buy some bunbuns profit!
>>7883595
Just get a bow and or pellet gun and end them. Alternately, crush heads with hammer, but that will be messy.
Unless you are in the middle of nowhere trying to survive for the night, I wouldn't eat a rabbit. It's not worth it, the meat is pretty disgusting.
>>7883787

You may be thinking of rabbit starvation.
Essentially, if you eat nothing but rabbit, you will nutritionally starve to death.

A whole new meaning to 'eat the liver of your enemies' right there
Do you know how to clean a bunny anon? Typically after I shoot one, I step on its head and yank up on the bottom paws to rip it's head off. Field dress from there. I don't eat them in the summer though. You're likely to get bugs. They just eat everything in the veggie garden if you don't take drastic measures.
tfw bunes are qt and fluffy but also sadly delicious
I feel bad for them more so than other animals that I eat
>>7887080
I was starting a bonfire once, and after a few minutes of getting it going I heard some horrific screaming.
Because rabbit's only defense is to run hard, or stay completely still, there was a rabbit hiding under the starting sticks.
>>7887061
Spot the angry MGTOW
>>7882455
I assume you're talking about Christopher McCandless who was written about in the book, Into the Wild. He died by eating a poisonous potato seed, which caused his body to starve itself, not by eating rabbit.
Caution m8. I wanted to do this to the fucking rabbits in my yard, but my dad warned me that if you catch/kill a rabbit its cry sounds like a baby's, so you might get the cops called on you. It's also illegal to kill rabbits in many neighborhoods (as well as squirrel and other wildlife) because they are considered legal residents.
>>7882470
Shut up edgelord. I've walked into my garage to find a chipmunk holed up in there. You're not expecting it and something suddenly moves and starts making a commotion it can be jarring. So in the two seconds between you going, "what the fuck is that?" and realizing it's a rabbit/munk/etc it'll get your heartrate up. I had to chase the stupid fuck out with a broom.
>>7887127
I didn't know what the fuck that acronym was until I googled it. What the fuck does that have to do with hunting and cooking rabbit?
>>7882336
>feed them on goodness to get them plump and tasty
Is rabbit a delicacy/rare there? Where I live it's common, almost as common as eating beef.
They go great with stew and red sauses using wine over pasta especially. The meat is quite stringy if you don't cook it long enough but pretty much fat free (for wild rabbits at least) and with a unique, gamey and with a light pungency flavor
>>7887145
aww babbytard is scaredscared of little animals how adoooorable!
True story; when I was a little kid, every Easter I’d get a baby bunny that I’d raise until the next Easter, when I’d get another baby bunny and the grown rabbit would “go back to the farm” and a week later, we’d be eating BBQ rabbit…
When I got a bit older and figured this out, I refused to send back the rabbit (though we’d still eat rabbit) and we had him for several years and being raised with our dog, he acted like one and would guard the backyard and if someone came over, he’d go charging up to them and actually “bark” at them (though it was more like a loud grunt).
>>7881908
Parasites, half my family got them. My dad spent two weeks in bed heavily medicated, it took everyone 5 days to know what was wrong, they detected it in my younger cousin.

This thread reminds me of the anon who got a couple of pet rabbits from someone and decide to butcher and eat them. Pic related, it was a fun thread.

A-are the rebbets oke?

They're ded, anon. Eaten and eventually turned into poop by another anon.
>>7885782
Actually I read a book about a woman that lived with 70 dollars a year and she said she pretty much are the rabbits she raised at her rural home and bought oil to fry them, I'm not sure if she bought potatoes or some shit too
>>7887189
I have eaten rabbit in many ways in plenty of fancy restaurant. It pretty much tastes exactly like chicken with a harder consistency unless it has been cooked in sauce long enough
Does all of this apply to hares too?
Because where I live rather than rabbits it's hares.
>>7887999
Fuck that thread.
>>7887789
Rabbit grunts are cute. When I had a rabbit and it was in a good mood it would run around my legs in circles and grunt.

There’s probably a Polaroid of Truszka (short for pietruszka, Polish for parsley) around somewhere but this was back in the 1970s.
>>7888678
If you teased the rabbit and poked him with your foot, he’s playfully “attack” your leg and hold on to it until you shook him off.
>>7881908
>What's the worst that could happen?

>What's the worst that could happen?
any number of diseases that can fuck your shit up.
Parasites and fungus. I live in South Dakota and everyone was advised not to eat the wild rabbits as they had a fungal disease that strongly resembles horns...they think it may have started the 'jackalope' myth.
>>7889443
it's not really a myth if they are real
>>7889456
Exactly. But jackalopes traditionally have deer antlers, not mutant facial projections.
