          Hi Sam — Can’t open your photo link. Check out the photo instructions at the top of this forum list and it might help. Did for me.

          And I’m sure we all have the same question: Bunnies in July? Daddy used to always warn us against eating or even gutting rabbits before the first hard frost, tularemia or however it’s spelled. In any event a bunny’s a hard target and not to be ashamed of.

                ok…. figured out how to post pics, thanks Homer… in Kansas you can hunt rabbit year round. i agree it’s not good to eat rabbit before first frost but this was in the name of garden control lol

                    Mostly the old wives tales, are…..well, old wives tales. The cold weather would have no effect on an ailment with critters. The rabbits here in the east were sometimes victims of the Warble Fly and at times you would find them with the developing worm under their skin. A turnoff for sure but not something harmful.

                    Rabbits can be eaten anytime; it’s the cooking that will take care of any bacteria that is present. Best method of judgement is, if they look sick…don’t eat them.
