D shoots the ones we get. I usually cook them (fresh) in a cream and
mushroom sauce No complaints around here

Rabbit was one of the last things I ate before going vegetarian. My dad
sat
and picked the lead shot out of it before making a stew. I honestly can't
remember at all what it tasted like.


The lead shot or the rabbit? ;o) I am lucky in that D is good enough to
always shoot them through the head, so I have never had to deal with the
lead shot


How does he make shot only hit the head? Maybe he uses bullets?

If you were doing as Baz asked about and keep Rabbits for meat
production then you don't get shot in them
