My dog killed one in the yard so I decided to trap a couple more. Been looking for some recipes, anyone have favorites? Cottontails, looking at hunting next month for some jackrabbits, but for now cottontails.

You can make rabbit cacciatore. Salt and pepper, brown it in a pan with olive oil. Remove. Use more olive oil, sauté bell pepper, onions, (also mushrooms and or garlic if you like). Add just a lil red wine to deglaze pan, add a good can of plum tomatoes, more salt and pepper, return rabbit to sauce mixture, cover and braise for an hour on low heat.
No I was shocked. I watched her grab it and she bit but not very hard, let it go, then squeezed again, check, repeat till it was dead. Then gave it to me. I was in awe. She's a lab/border collie mutt who seems to have missed her calling as a hunting dog. 3 days later I watched her do the same thing with a mouse.
I couldn't save the saddle, but all leg meat was undamaged.
No doubt. I told my wife, if the ship hits the fan, and we need to bug out, the dog is loaded first and gets the front seat. Everyone else is going to have to prove their worth....
Found this last night.

Put it on a circle hook and cast it just to the water's edge. Wait for gator to bite then you'll have enough meat to throw on the grill.
You can bbq it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute' it. Rabbit kabobs, rabbit creole, rabbit gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir fried. Pineapple rabbit, lemon rabbit, coconut rabbit, pepper rabbit, rabbit soup, rabbit stew, rabbit salad, rabbit and potatoes, rabbit burger and rabbit sandwich...
My dog would do this quite often with rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, even a raccoon and possum one time. She'd sneak them inside occasionally. Sometimes she did not wait until they were dead (luckily this did not happen with the possum or raccoon).
I really miss my dog. She died about a year ago, just shy of 16. Not bad for a "mostly-shepherd".

Ha, these are the only gators I have access too. They might not appreciate the paoching in the park.

I love the pics of the alligators sitting in snow.
Seriously though, those yard rabbits are nasty and full of fleas and parasites. Google tularemia. Rare, but not uncommon in rabbits.
If it was an EOTWAWKI situation I'd say go for it, but not with several grocery stores within a few miles of you.

I hear what you are saying, but IMO its unfounded fear when appropriate precautions are taken. Just like all meat, cook it. During butchering, always check the liver as well as the eyes and skin/hair of the animal (can't do that when purchased at store). Also, you say "rare but not uncommon". Which is it? Rhetorical, answer is rare.

Wild game > farm raised for any number of reasons. Guessing you aren't a hunter?
Hunted birds but no longer.
I meant a rare disease generally but not uncommon in rabbits.
I’m in line waiting for BBQ in Phoenix before going drinking around the Verde Valley.
The answer on rabbit is any chicken recipe will work because they have similar cooking times due to similar intramuscular fat levels. Farmed rabbit is so bland and tastes so much like chicken I seldom buy it because the taste to me isn’t worth the upcharge. Wild rabbit certainly has far more “game” flavor to it so I would go with more flavourful versions of chicken dishes.
A friend of mine raises rabbits. Braised and smothered rabbit is very good. I cooked the Gordon Ramsey fricassee on tagliatelle and it was very good. Rabbit kidneys were actually pretty mild and good. http://recipes.russos.net/Rabbit_Fricass_e_with_Tagliatell-239.html
Butchering rabbits is not fun....they cry and squeal so bad....rough.

I think we are doing it differently.
