Was out rabbit hunting the other day and got this one with my Pedersoli Baker

Holy stuff that's a huge rabbit

[barbarossa]

Though we call them rabbits they are actually snowshoe hare.

I was out on my own ,the snow was too deep for dogs,it was almost too deep for me in places.

How do you cook them things? I shot one up in Montana a few years ago and we smoked it. Worse textured and tasting thing I have ever smoked. The pheasant we smoked at the same time was great. Won't be shooting anymore unless I hear of a good recipe

Now we are talking!

What's your load Sir?

[barbarossa]

I normally cook them up in a stew or a nice rabbit pie, the load I was using was an ounce of shot #6 with an 80 gr charge.

Well done!

Bunnies have always been fun hunting for me, I haven't done it much in years. I thinned out the flock in the yard a couple years ago though. 4 shots, 3 bunnies, one handed. First shot I forgot how high the gun shot. It had been loaded for a year or so, it fired just fine.
