Rabbit Hunting TR -- Video *Graphic Scenes*

The laughs keep coming.

On the Huntingnet.com forum, I posted the link to this video about the same time as uutah. Of course, you'll get all kinds of people bashing back and forth on different issues, such as: My shooting skills, and if we left the rabbits there or not.

So anyways, some dude named Predator26 says "your a d**chebag". I correct him and say it's "you're" not "your". Here's his response:

That thread is hilarious

I gotta say man.....GREAT VIDEO! :2thumbs:

Someone on the site I usually hang out at found the video and posted a link to it (and no, it wasn't the Huntingnet forums).

I know what you mean about the Huntingnet forums! My state site resembles that one a lot by the amount of bickering back and forth. And that's why I don't go there anymore!!! :lol8:

Again, great video! Keep'em coming! :clap:

It's in the squirrel hunting section. The topic is Somebody KILL some squirrels, on the second page of the thread. :2thumbs:

The rabbit hunt video is re linked.

I have to re edit the fork cam one though. :roll:

Cool video setup.

How do those things taste? What's the best way to clean & prepare them?

According to the Coyotes, they taste pretty good. :lol8:

These were all jackrabbits, not cottontails. I believe cottontails have regulations on seasons/limits, but I'm not sure what they are.

We did see one cottontail out there, but he survived that day. :haha:

Did you just leave them where they dropped? If you did, I think that is pretty f****d up. I know people do this all the time, but seems like a waste of life for some target practice. Yeah, there are way too many rabbits around and they are a nuisance, but if people would stop shooting all the damn coyotes, that problem would also resolve itself.

I am an active hunter, but I was always taught not to stop a heart unless there was a compelling reason. Maybe bunnie snuff films are a compelling reason.

If you were a hunter you would know why we don't eat Jackrabbit. You need to take your anti hunting, vermin loving attitude back to the peta forum you came from!
:asshat:

Jackrabbits are vermin. I haven't hunted as much as I used to, but it's all relative.

I don't feel bad when I kill a mouse in a mousetrap, and most people don't. But if the mouse was shot with a gun, that's when people get upset.

If we stopped shooting jackrabbits, Fish n' Game would actually put out extermination orders to regulate the population.

I know it's all opinion, but within this hunting forum, we just have to accept that things will be killed.

I'm not going to spend the time to find it but wasn't it just last year that the DWR or Fish and Game were BEGGING people to go shoot the jackrabbits?
Hey, I'll help!

You're right, it's all relative. But you don't often see people gear up for, film, and publicize their actions when they exterminate rodents.

Jackrabbits have natural predators, but people insist on killing them for sport as well.

I won't say I don't hunt for sport. I love to see a bird flush from a well trained dog, and fall to a well placed shot. This is good sport, and an fun way to put food on the table. So is putting the stalk on a big ungulate.

And I am happy to accept that things will be killed. I am a meat eater, and have no problem taking a life, provided there is some compelling reason.

But as a wise man once wrote, "Whenever I see a photograph of some sportsman grinning over his kill, I am always impressed by the striking moral and aesthetic superiority of the dead animal to the live one."

Take care, and hunt safe.

Please. I have nothing to prove to you, except that not all hunters think or act alike. I am in no way anti-hunting. I support several hunting/conservation organizations, and try to make it into the field a few days during Chukar season, a couple cast and blast trips for trout, chukar and ducks on the Green River, and if I get a permit this year you can bet your ass I'll be eating deep fried turkey on the River this spring. Cow elk in the fall (better meat than the bulls.)

It's the rabid anti-predator folks that piss me off, folks like Don Pay Me & SFW. But I still like them better than Peta.

Let me add this - I see there are over 10,000 views of this thread. So, likely I am in the extreme minority on this. I am not trying to shame anyone, and I am not just trying to stir the pot. This started with an honest (albeit ignorant) question about how to prepare a rabbit. Having never hunted rabbits, I didn't know people didn't eat the jacks. Nasty taste? Bad microbes? That would be my guess.

Anyways, just adding my point of view. Take it for what it's worth.

No problem. :cool2:

I've never eaten them either (knowingly) :haha:

But I've heard the best way to cook one is this:

Skin it, put it in a pot along with an old shoe. Season to taste. When cooked, throw away the rabbit. Bon Appetit!

I've eaten plenty of rabbit, not wild (that I know of) it probably came from a farm. Why is it that people don't eat Jacks?

I've heard the meat is really tough, and there's usually not much on the bone anyways.

They are usually infested with some nasty diseases too. . .YUCK! :puke8:

I like to prepare them accordingly:

Hit them center mass with a well placed 45 grain hollow point 22-250.

Nothing to clean or dress and well tenderized and portioned for the coyotes.

Hunting is way different than killing You are killing jack rabbits. I used to do the same when I was in high school but used a .222 to see some guts fly. Jack rabbits and cottontails are both good to eat in the winter time, hence the season. The worms they have are killed in cold weather. The fur can be used for tying flies to catch your summer trout. Fried and grilled, just like a elk steak is the best way to cook em.

No need to get defensive cause you like to kill furry critters for the fun of it. Accept it and have a cold beer afterwards and you will be like the rest of us rednecks. :cheers:

Cottontail rabbit is good eats, I eat nearly everyone I shoot. Great in a dutch oven with bbq sauce and taters.
Jack rabbit is tough, stringy and strong. I have eaten them though rumors float that they carry disease. cottontail has a season and bag limit but none for jackrabbits since they are considered vermin/nuisances.

Sorry to be so brash in my first reply, you are not the first to come on a hunting forum and bash hunting. Your statement was textbook animal rights activist.

Count me in! :haha: :friday:

As fire previously stated, Jacks have worm and the like that are killed off every winter. My old man always tells me about how he was raised eating jacks and liked them. He said that if you soaked it in buttermilk first, it would tenderize the meat and then fried. Make gravy and home made mashed taters... Good stuff...

I haven't eaten any yet, though I will if I can manage to get one this winter. :2thumbs: I've had cottontail and to be honest, I think I'd take a bowl of fresh rabbit stew over a big juicy venison steak any day. Stuff is so good it'll make you wanna slap yo mamma. :roll:

I Just sort of Tallied up all the Rabbit hunts out at this secret spot of mine. (Which you all get to gladly see through Sombeech's video) and for me alone in my life time which consists of probably 12 years of hunting. I figured my personal total of rabbit bagged is aproximately 550. Thats taking into consideration several years of going at least twice.
As far as eating them go's I wouldn't touch this vermon with a 10' spoon but the farmers out there have been ever so grateful. As the exploding rabbit Numbers have been responsible for overturned haystacks, and rampent live stock disease. One of my first years out there. A farmer actually paid us a quarter for every rabbit tail we brought him. 300 tails did little more than pay for our gas and ammo but I didn't care.

No offense, but you need to go back and study that textbook. Disagreeing over ethics and such is something hunters have been doing for a long, long time. Some hunters shun ATVs, hike miles in, stalk to within yards, and pack the meat out on their backs. Some people shoot hormone-spiked bulls behind high fences. Both are, arguably, hunting.

Ok then I retract my previous apology. If you come to a public hunting forum you have to expect there will be all kinds of "hunting". If you are a hunter but think that hunting/killing bears, lions, mangy coyotes or even vermin just for fun, has crossed some sort of line and can't hold your yourself from bashing on hunters that post an excellent and well documented report of their trip, you need to avoid public hunting forums. All you will accomplish is to discourage people from posting reports that many of us love to see.

Jack rabbits up here are definitely vermin. Big as a coyote and mean...and up here they have antlers :lol8: Really though, they breed like....well....rabbits, and cause much more problems than good. Cottontails are good eats and arent near as damaging when you hit the pack of 'em with your vehicle. Jacks will do body damage, not to mention that they are just mangey things. No permit required for jacks like you need for cottontails.
....hmmm, lets see...can you guess where MY sympathies lie?
BTW, I agree with Fourtycal %100 on this one :five:

Wow, .40 cal -- you get awfully defensive defending blood sport. I'm not some PETA motherf***er either, but like "o.c. utah" recognize a difference between real hunting and just engaging in killing for killing's sake. One activity has a purpose, the other is just masturbation. Getting yourself off just killing animals and leaving them to rot is morally reprehensible, and there are MANY of us in the hunting community that will call BS here. Blood sport wankers only serve to make traditional hunting indefensible -- and we don't need that.

Catch it? Eat it!

Y'all have a blessed day!

On cooking and eating bunnies: We eat them here in the South, but then we also eat squirrels. Real Brunswick stew contains squirrel meat. Both critters can contain some nasty parasites, so winter hunting and thorough cooking are a must.

We went through the Civil War, and learned to eat damn near anything since the Yankees (sorry JP) decided to burn or steal everything. One thing we'd never eat, though, is dog. We love our dogs almost as much as our kids.

I've had sharpei (sp?) and have to say it was pretty good. I didn't eat it knowingly, but if I was in that kind of a situation, I would eat a dog without problem. Looked like pork, tasted like chicken.

That is an excellent looking dog!!!

My hound is fat
so now I'll dine
and eat up all
this hound o' mine.

I'll openly admit it, I have a blood lust and love to kill Jacks simply for the fun of killing small defenseless animals. It is especially humorous when you hit em just right and they flip and flop all over the place. I guess that makes me one sick "reprehensible" bastard. :mrgreen:

Reed;

Your honesty is refreshing and commendable, but surely you're not a "bastard." It's great to see someone who enjoys this activity call it what it is and be unapologetic about the kicks they get from bunny blasting.

In the future, may I recommend the plinking of old television sets?

TV set are fun too, as well as campers (see tannerite thread). It doesn't matter what you shoot or blow up, someone somewhere will find something reprehensible about it and start bitching and moaning. The big carpet meister for one can't find the fun or humor in destruction fo inanimate objects. What do you do? :ne_nau:

--Fat kid on ATV
