Shake and bake bunny

Hey guys, I shot a bunch of jackrabbits yesterday. I ended up with 4 perfect head shots, so I thought I would take them home and cook them up. Anyone else try it before? Well I quartered them, put on some Shake and Bake and threw them in the oven at 400 degrees. Surprise to me but they were red meat, not white like cottontail. They ended up taking about twice as long as chicken to cook. Taste? Well I didn't like them much. I thought they tasted a lot like beef liver with a distinct sage brush accent. On the good side, they were not tough and there was actually a lot of meat on them. Anyway, just thought I would share my experience. I will have to be pretty hungry before I try it again!
 
The best way to fix the is
1 Jack rabbit soaked in 3 cups of water
along with 1 stick butter,table spoon of black pepper and 1 table spoon of suger.
Let set over night.
Then lay on top of a cherry board and lay on a grate over a open fire.
Cook until the board is charcoled.
Then take the jack off the board and throw away.
Eat the board!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
LOL, I had a friend that shoot some praire dogs and felt guilty about just tossing them. He took them home smothered em in bar-b q sauce and put them in a crockpot. I asked them what they tasted like and his response Bar-B-Q sauce. EEEW.
 
Honestly,

Cold climate jacks are not that bad. But the only part I think is worth it is the backstrap. The rest is so stringy and sage brush flavored. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
