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? Back in my younger days when I did a lot of rough shooting, I would sit in a field hedge with the wind in my face and wait for the rabbits to appear at dusk. I would then shoot them with a .22 semi-repeating rifle fitted with a silencer and a telescopic sight. Always through the head, that way you didn't spoil the meat. My local butcher would pay me 2/6d for each fully grown rabbit. As the bullet cost about 3d it was money for jam. Sometimes I could get 25 or 30 rabbits in one evening.
