West Side Rabbits

[magnanimous_j]

i raise meat rabbits, and hunt the cotton tails/brush rabbits.

When I was a little kid, my parents had a farm and we raised meat rabbits, but sent them live to auction. I don’t have a problem with blasting them while hunting, but I would have a pretty hard time picking up a big fluffy Easter bunny and snapping its neck. Does that ever get easier? Rabbits are such an economical meat to produce that I would like to do it again some point in the future.

You could do what the idiots around my head place too and turn them loose...  Being that they are domestic there is no season. I have fresh rabbit year round, and don't even need to raise them, just have to take my plott hound and air rifle out and get me one or two...

Probably sent while sitting on the ferry... While using Tapatalk 2

 i dont have a problem killing them, but they are just for meat, and i dont think of them any other way i guess...  its not really a cheap way to produce food for the table, but it is very healthy and taste good, and thats why i do it.(plus there not a nasty as chickens!lol)

I bet that (hound hunting) would be fun to do with the kids. Dang i dont need one more hobby.

beagles are alot easier to get into then hounds, you can spend all your time doing either, but you have shorter races and normally more action with the bealges. i think kids enjoy either, once a kid is old enough to claim a dog as thier own....there hooked!

i dont know if i would say "taste just like chicken" but rabbit does taste closer to chicken then anything else.

Hunting those things would be great fun for the kids.  Once you jump one, you stand and wait for it to circle right back to where it started!
