Roast rabbit is pretty good. I tried to fry the lastest ones in butter but I think I had the pan too hot.
The next one I shoot I'll try frying the legs again and roast the rest.

I took out another bunny today. Will add photo's later.

Roast rabbit pics will be in the recipe section when I get back from fishing it was very tastey.

My sweet little spot too spy on the bunnies, much nicer than the garden I sat in yesterday.
Feel bad shooting the baby ones, but they all need to go. Not the easiest thing to shoot when they are that small.

When I cook rabbit I do it in the slow cooker and add a generous amount of herbs and spices. Keep it in an inch of water and a few hours later it its amazing

I'm jealous of that. Love to be able to make money of the bunnies to feed my habit of buying toys, that I may or may not need.

We looked into that when we were shooting big numbers but the set up costs were too high and it would have changed a great hobby into work. Now just take a few for the pot.

A shame as the 9 he has there is easily enough for another box of 17hmr ammo. With 7 he would have enough and then two for himself. lucky shooting them is so much fun.
