Eating jackrabbit

Yes, it's stringy and tough but not bad tasting (they are rabbits after all).

Be aware that in some areas you have to be careful how you skin, and clean them because of the danger of catching Tularemia.
 
I've killed quite a few over the years that have those creepy worms under the skin /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif. I wouldn't eat one unless it was absolutely necessary. I'd rather eat a nutria.

I ate some when I was stationed in Wyoming. We seasoned them, rolled them in flour and then browned them in a frying pan. Finished them off by putting them in a pressure cooker. I honestly thought it was comparable to cotton tail and would eat it again.

Not worth it. I ate a cottontale when I was younger, tasted like chicken /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused1.gif
 
In my experience, cottontail tasted like rubber chicken! (Bobcat is remarkable similar to cottontail!) How do you make that quick reaction muscle tender?
 
Many years ago,I had the idea to make some jerky out of some.As soon as I pulled the fur off,the meat turned to a leather looking mode /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif and I looked at it and still made some jerky out of it /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif.Not very good is all I can say /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused1.gif.Maybe if you marinated it and steamed it or something.There are lots of them in Arizona and I think very few sane hunters eat them.take care,daveyboy /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-006.gif
 
If you took a prime rib and told people it was supposed to be eaten raw, a lot of people wouldn't try the first bite. Take the same prime rib and cook it really well done and a lot of people would never try it again.

I've eaten jack rabbit and some was preyy good. Some not so good. Seem's to be the way they are cooked. How many of you guy's that tried jack's once and didn't like it, tried it a second time made a different way?
 
As mentioned some of them have catchable diseases, why would you take the chance? Cottontail is good I will stick with that.
 
Yep, you're right. You owe it to yourself to go out and shoot, club, snare, or arrow a half dozen jacks. If you can't bring yourself to kill one, drive up and down the road about 4:00am and scrape up a few road kills. No problem, just remember to "cook them all the way through".

Now, bring your trophy's home and prepare them any number of ways http://www.bowhunting.net/susieq/rabbit.html and come back and tell us how you liked it. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
 
I’ll pass on jackrabbit , racoons, possum , coyotes, dogs, and egg row, and a few more. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif Just Pass whiskey and I’ll take a shot of that. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif I've tryed all the above. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif GENE'O
 
I have eaten many of them and I would take a jack over a cottontail any day. I really dont think how it would be possible to catch a disease if you cook them throughly.
