[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Dinner pic (Page 1 of 2)
Posted: 1/12/2010 4:34:47 PM EDT
Coal mining company is in the process of mining all of our family's land.
My hunting buddy for the day, my older brother Billy, hes shooting a 410 pump 
This is the type of cover we are hunting. Only works for killing rabbits when theres snow. 
As you can see its thick. 
We killed 8 in 1.5 hours in the field behind us. As you can see there is only 7 in the pic, I shot one alittle far back and was a total loss. 
My 4 year old wanted to go when we got back to the house. 
This was the first time he had been rabbit hunting. We kicked up 4 and killed 2. I think hes hooked. 
Dinner cooking, Fried Potatoes, Rabbit, Frozen corn from my grandparents farm and fresh tea. 
Obligatory pic of city girl wife whos not too happy that rabbit is for dinner. 
Dinner is served, G19, beat up Kershaw Ken onion daily carry, Weapon of the Day Benelli M2 that I bought to make it a tactical shotgun that is a rabbit killer. 
I never realized how time consuming these dinner pic threads are.  oste

Southern IN? What county you hail from friend? Looks familiar. The Family farm is in Oakland City, I moved to Indy 13 years ago when I got out of the Army. I would do anything to get back there and live...my checking account says different. Cool, personally grew up in Warrick county, now in Columbus, not the same up here is it? |

We are looking for some place to move with in 45 min drive to Indy. Im so tired of the BS that comes with living here. You are right though, theres nothing like the people and land of southern Indiana. |

hell yea eat what you kill are they easy to scare up? how do they taste? They are real easy to kill when there is snow on the ground. My brother has dogs but we leave them at home when the snows down. Its a dark meat, a little gamey but not bad by any means. In 1985 we had our best year rabbit hunting killing 186. We were poor, living on a farm and ate every one of them. Needles to say after I left home it took a while before I started to eat them again.

Is that hotdog for the little guy or for the city wife? I have a 5 year old boy who was in school and didnt get to go, that was his hotdog.  I gotta work on him just alittle bit. I think he did it more out of spite because he didnt get to go.
I was going to say that we do it too - Mommy and Daddy have poached salmon and asparagus, Little Boy has mac & cheese and a hotdog. What shot for bunnies? How do you fry them? A dredge and a batter, what? |

I use 6 to 7 1/2 shot 2 3/4 shells for rabbits. I jump my own rabbits so I need something that doesn't destroy the meat.
I salt and use fresh ground pepper on them then flower. Cook them in crisco
My kids usually eat what we have, but tonight the oldest boy was being a butt and I didnt feel like making him eat rabbit. |
