Doc Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I'll tell you one thing (not that it has anything to do with the topic), The absolute best meat that I have ever eaten was when we butchered our domestic rabbits. I honestly have never tasted anything that delicious in my life. We breaded and deep-fried them. The only problem is that we did get kind of attached to the critters and it made the butchering process a bit ugly. But that didn't affect that great taste.

crappyice Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 See now, I didn't want to go that far. But now, Doc, you got me curious! How well preserved does a ziplock bag in a shoebox keep rabbit 3 feet down in 30degree temps? May not be too late . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Sure, dig him up, cook him up, and invite your buddy and his kid over for a Bugs Bunny dinner. And you can give the kid 4 nice rabbit's feet as remembrances of his fuzzy little pet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domestic rabbits are bringing a good price on the auctions. Some full grown as high as $30. We were tickled pink to get $2 back in the day. Few weeks before Easter, is an excellent time to sell.

Five Seasons Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) good chuckle with this thread. Aren't they like a few bucks at the store? seems easier... if i wanted my own i think i'd rather have shot a wild one vs a kids pet though haha. what if the kids sees it? he would probably think it was his pet whether it really was or not.

G-Man Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Had a pet duck growing up, dad told us it flew south for winter (was later summer) that night we had "chicken" for dinner. Found out few years later. Not a big deal growing up on a farm way of life. We need to stop humanizing our pets. ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When my first chicken died a few yrs ago, I was a bit upset only because she followed me around and came to back door looking for me. I think i sulked for 20 min then asked my husband to go hang it in tree as bait out in field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawnhu Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 How did I know whithout a doubt, that would be your solution? LMAO Listen, at least Biz didn't say to bring the entire rabbit! Did he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
