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

That's the way my Granpa taught my uncles to shoot. If they weren't
certain of a clear shot to the head, they weren't to pull the trigger.
