Thanks for the compliments, guys. I just wanted to share that with some people who understand. It was really one of those magical things. What a way to turn around a long, boring day of mundane work.

The bunny is soaking in water and vinegar solution. Destined for the crockpot for "Tarragon Mustard Stewed Rabbit."

If you don't already have the L.L. Bean Game & Fish Cookbook, I highly recommend it. Has recipes for fur, feather, and fish. Even some critters I never woulda dreamt of eating.    

Very well written I was right there with you even the emotions KUDOS what ever that means! Thanks

"imperturbable" - I'm impressed!

Very nice, thanks for sharing.

I really like piecing the Rabbit , and frying it just like chicken . Then shake in tub with your favorite   wing  sause !  Thanks for sharing your hunt ! Let it snow ....   >>>-------------> RIVERWOLF

Great story, thanks for bringing us along.

Excellent story, made me feel like I was there! I would love to do the same but like Riverwolf, no snow, nothing but rain, after rain, after rain, here.

Great tellin Tamure, had my fingers burning from the cold. Enjoyed it  

Kerry, most excellent hunt and story telling. I am also fond of the LLB cookbook, the venison heart with root vegetables is one of my favorites from that book.

Your hunt reminded me of the description of rabbit hunting in the book "From the den ot the old bow hunter", C Stevenson. His rabbit mentor told him to stop shooting at the long running shots and look for the close hidden rabbits.

Small game is a great challenge. You are a huntress.
