This is not a rabbit!

It is one of our brown hares, some on here have wondered if our rabbits are actually hares.
We have rabbits, brown hares and mountain hares.
This is a brown hare :hatsoff:

These are English rabbits, five of them taken with the muzzle loader, the rest ferreted into the purse net.

Your big brown hare looks like the ones I saw in the Black Forest of Germany, while stationed there. Do they taste like rabbits? Keep yer powder dry.......Robin :wink:

A little bit stronger flavour I remember. I prefer a rabbit.
The mountain hares I have tried....two, seemed better!

Your Brown Hare looks a LOT like what we wild Texicans call a "Jackrabbit", as they are really Hares, too.
(The young Jacks, up to about 5KG, are GREAT eating, though they are far less common on our farm than the cottontails & swamp rabbits. = Bunnies are WONDERFUL when pan-fried like chicken, with cathead biscuits, home-style potatoes, corn on the cob, sliced tomatoes, Caddo "relish" & bowls of cream gravy.)

That's terrible.

That a punt gun on the bow of the boat?

Seems like you and I have the same ideas on how to fix up a rabbit dinner!!

When I was a "shirttail kid" nearly 6 decades ago, my governess (who had come to TX from northern MS as a young bride) used to take my cottontails and fix that supper "for just the two of us". - It made me feel "quite special".

Cooking that meal, even now, makes me smile & reminds me of "Sister PrincaLee".
(For those of you who don't have a clue about what I'm talking about, read THE HELP by Kathryn Stockett.)
