Got lucky as hell today in southern nh.

[whacko]

Went out for grey squirrel in Southern nh. Jumped a rabbit in the middle of the woods. Also got a nice grey. Not bad for an hour walk in the woods.

Very nice. I can’t tell you the last time I saw a rabbit while hunting.

Never seen one in the middle of an oak hickory forest that's for sure. He went off the reservation and paid for it.

 

[38ExtraSpecial]

Nice work!
Damn I wish I lived west of here so I could have been hunting squirrel already.

I need to find a good spot in I can drive to and use a rifle/handgun.

You should see the amount of rabbits running around my job site across from td garden.

I have plenty of ammo. Not even shopping.

 

[AFAR/PFAR]

I haven't seen a rabbit since I left Louisiana in August. I have popped a couple of Red Squirrels and Chipmunks with a pellet rifle in my yard doing pest control over the last couple days.

 

[FalArAk]

You gonna eat those varmints ?

 

[whacko]

Yup. Wouldn't shoot em if I wasn't.

 

[FalArAk]

Never ate a squirrel.

I do all my hunting/gathering at Market Basket, I'm screwed when TEOTWAWKI happens.

How do you cook something as small as a squirrel ? Just gut it, cook and pick around the bones ?

Shouldn't taste that bad because their diet doesn't consist of meat or garbage, right ?

Deep fried then smothered in gravy with biscuits is my new favorite. Yes you eat around the bones.....just like a chicken wing.

And yes they taste fine. I would never eat squirrel or rabbit from the city or the burbs.....only from the woods.

Why? Garbage eaters? Pesticides from grass? Curious.

Dude you're a small game serial killer!!! IS that shotgun an A5? I never see greys out in the woods. Only reds. The greys are always in my bird feeders.

Yes to both.

Looking pretty tasty to me. Even if your cheating with those Pillsbury biscuits.

Come to Cape Cod, you have to kick them out of the way while walking..

 

[kerryman71]

You could've at least let the poor bastard finish that acorn. Good work.

 

[snax]

Yes to both.

The rabbits in my yard have eaten enough fertilizer and bug killer... why don't they die??

 

[drgrant]

LMAO I'll never forget ECs legendary post about squirrel cutlets....

She's also lying when she says that she's eaten squirrel. I've eaten it and it doesn't taste "just like chicken", it tastes like shit. If she'd really ever had squirrel, she would not mistake it for chicken. If I made squirrel cutlets and served them to my friends, they wouldn't ask, "Are these chicken cutlets?"
They'd ask, "Dude, are these shit cutlets?"

You know this because you've eaten it with garlic and herbs. When you cook it that way, it tastes like garlic, herbs... and shit! You gotta admit, when you were done, you weren't thinking, "Man, I wish there was more of that!" You were thinking, "Holy shit, I'm glad I'm done with that!"

Even if you marinate squirrel in vinegar overnight, and prepare it "right", the best you can do is to make it taste " a little less like shit."

Anybody that eats squirrel and likes it does so only to "justify" killing it. I'm over that now. If I feel like killing squirrels, I go out and kill them. I'll dry their tails, send them to Mepps, and they'll give me $1 each for them. If I use a .22 and kill enough of them, I make money.

Lol it was a hickory nut. I was in a big stand of oak and some hickory....was very odd to see a rabbit in that kind of habitat.

Last deer I got had a mouth full of acorns.....I interrupted his breakfast.

For years I tried to not shoot rabbit over my bird dog.
Last year he worked an area really well and I could tell he was super birdie when all of a sudden out pooped that cottontail.
I said F@ck it and shot it. It was delicious.
This year I'm shooting every one of those furry hoppity bastards I see.

Or a gun he wanted.

I was under the impression that you couldn't/shouldn't eat rabbit until the first heavy frost, old wives tale??

Never heard that. Rabbit season in NH opens oct 1 thats all I know.

Edit.....according to Steve Rinella (an expert i trust) that story about first frost is a crock of shit.

Is It Unsafe to Eat Rabbits Before the First Frost?
