In the north, where I live the local bunnies numbers can reach plaque proportions.

It used to happen about every seven years but human development has upset the cycle so the last plaque I remember in this area was around 1982-83.
That year I was working seismic, the recording crew kept finding dead bunnies along their Jug line. One day they collected a bunch and piled them up and took a picture.

The pile was higher then most men. I don't know what the count was but it was in the hundreds. The Edmonton Journal got ahold of that photo and wrote a scathing article about how seismic workers were killing off all the rabbits.

Well they aren't rabbits, they are Hares and the workers had not killed them, starvation and disease had killed them.

That was the beginning of my education on journalism.

Default Speckle 55 and rabbits

Hey Speckle, the area that I hunt in is finally getting to have some rabbits around again, not Like yours though, you guys shoot a lot of bunnies!! I have always wondered what you do with all that rabbit meat? I think it's about time that you shared some recipes! I remember, back when I was a kid, that a trapper friend of ours, made a " Roaster full" of rabbit in cream, like chicken almost. It was excellent. Any tips would be appreciated, thx in advance.

We have ate lots over the years

Took them(60) into school in the 1970's for home-economics

made 7 different dishes

bunch posted on here we made a meat pie's for our big game dinner (Tourtière)

I like Hasenpfeffer is a traditional German stew made from marinated rabbit or hare

every year in Nov when trapping season starts we have given some to them

then we have some First Nations friends and local friends who also want some

even have sent some rabbit(Hare) feet to Fly Tiers on here

its is a challenge too hunt them which I(we) enjoy

"Shhh. Be vewy vewy quiet, I'm hunting wabbits
