We live in a small development on the edge of town and the same 4 are in our backyard everyday.  Lots of rabbit dump everywhere!  

 

 

Is that from Northern Minnesota? When I was a kid, I would look out my bedroom window every morning in the winter and see a similar scene

My granny would fricassee them.  Cut-up, season, braise in stock, remove, then add flour and butter to thicken the stock, season to taste, and return the pieces for a few minutes.  If we had a few quail or dove she would add them in as well.  HERE is a really good looking rabbit fricassee with mushrooms, wine and herbs served over pasta.  Would like to try this with chicken drumsticks or wings.

 

 

That looks like a really good recipe, outside of the raw kidneys.  I don't think I could handle those with my eyes open...

Nope, in Mankato.  I guess the neighbors have named them so I might not be too popular if I cooked one up at the neighborhood get-together!

You could name them too! Deep fried, supper and lunch!

Snowshoe hares in Mankato?  Huh.   I have Cottontails that practically are big enough to ride (I am in Rochester) but I thought snowshoes were an "up north" thang.

Those are jackrabbit's.

 

Last time I have seen jackrabbit's in MN was when I was going to school in Mankato over a quarter century ago.

Those are jackrabbits, In southern Mn. there used to be hundreds of them per square mile in the late 50's and they were hunted and sold for .50 a piece to mink farms. (Just a little history from someone who did it)

Only Snows and Jacks will turn white in winter. Not Cottontails.

Thanks.  I sort of forgot about Jackrabbits.
