I'm going out shooting rabbits tonight with my mate 'Blind Pugh' We'll be off out just after eight with the twelve bore and a powerful spot light. To say that the fields around us are crawling with rabbits would be a bit of an understatement.

I love rabbit, how many of you can bring yourself to eat one and what is your favourite recipe ?

Discrete pictures of tonights activities to follow.

I have tried it but it wasnt my favourite especially when I had to come home and look at out pet rabbit. :shock:

Pardon me for being stupid but I thought it was illegal, Cor blimey I am so out of date and I am only young LOL  :oops:

Dad used to bring home rabbits he'd poached and gut them in the kitchen.  The smell made me vomit.  Every time I think of eating rabbit now I can't because I remember that smell.  I'm feeling queasy just writing this.  Would love to be able to eat it as it's delicious and healthy.

Very very legal and I always gut the rabbits out in the fields where they've been shot.

We used to have it as kids, but not since I've been adult often thought about going shooting for a few, free meat  

Good luck tonight Bodge'

I'm a bit concerned about 'Blind Pugh' being in charge of a gun. :shock:

A twenty four hour food forage starting tonight  

The itinerary is as follows.

1) Lamping for rabbits tonight.
2) Spinning for bass and mackerel in the morning.
3) Seashore forage in the afternoon for mussels, winkles and I may even try for limpets  :roll:  
I'll also be looking to pick up a bag full of oyster shells to smash up for the chickens. I found the remains of a broken egg in one of the nest boxes today.
I'm hoping to get pictures of stage one on here late tonight.

Sounds good to me Bodger.

Rabbit curry or paela with rabbit and chicken for me.

I tried it once at a friend's house when I was a teenager, must admit it sewed the seeds of vegetarianism in my head when he brought it home and started skinning it in front of me, I guess if it had come out of a freezer I may not have been so squeamish.  I ate one mouthful and "accidentally" dropped the rest on the floor just above the dog's mouth

Definitely rabbit curry for me too.....blooming yummy!!!!!

I should have had a nice rabbit curry in late March, but the bunnies went and hid when me and Aggy and Munty went out looking!!!!!    

But we had some lovely crab!!!!!

Perhaps you were looking in the wrong place then?

A shotgun after eight you must have no neighbours and deaf rabbits. Don't you use a rifle down them parts with a sound moderator :roll:
