Rabbit

Wild rabbit is great. It's never stringy or tough when cooked properly.

I would never in a million years call wild rabbit great.
If you consider slow coking proper then you are right.  But you are not going to fry a wild rabbit and have it be as tender as a farm raised rabbit.  You can slow cook boot leather all day and it will be tender.

My experience has been quite different. I have fried up most of my rabbit and slow cooked alot of it. I have fried it up while it was still twitching and it was GREAT  I have fried it up after soaking in buttermilk for 48 hours and that is even better.But i cook two meals a day for 5 people for close to ten years now so i have alot experience cooking. cooking is my other great love next to hunting you can give two people the same ingredients and equipment and they will most likely come out with very different renditions of the same dish nothing substitutes experience or technique

Thanks for all the ideas guys I am definatly interested in the hassenpfeffer. I also plan on lots of roasting with peppers and potatoes out of my garden and I just gotta say Ive never had a rabbit wild or domestic that I did not like but I have also never had Jack rabbit.

Jack rabbit tastes the same (good), maybe a little tougher, so just slow cook it longer, plus there's twice as much meat.  Makes me sick when I see pictures of piles of jacks just being left for the coyotes and vultures....

WOW ten years  ?  You should probably challenge Bobby Flay to a cook off.    My guess is you have never had a farm raised rabbit.  An easy comparsion of farm raise vs wild is filet mignon to chuck steak.  But with all of your experience I bet you make one helluva a chuck steak.

  I have had farm raised rabbit I will agree there is a difference but IMHO it is nowhere near the difference you are trying to impart .As far as Bobby Flay I would love to get schooled by him pretty sure I would learn a thing or two ;)the only thing that compares to that chuck steak of mine is my world famous boiled round steak with a copious amount of old bay
