Rabbit


Recommended Posts

I start off by mixing a batch of flour, seasoned salt and pepper into a strong plastic bag. I clean the rabbit thoroughly, wash off and then "shake" in the bag of flour mix. In a large skillet I use about 1/2" to 3/4" of cooking oil. I pan fry the rabbit until it's brown and crispy. Every other batch or so I add sliced onions into the oil with the rabbit. Pat on paper towels to remove any oil and then place in the large roaster pan. I then cook that in the roaster for several hours (checking often to make sure there is enough water/moisture in the roaster) until tender. I will add cooked carrots to the rabbit if I want to make it a little more fancy. Some of the other guy's make it with mushroom soup or with Barbeque Sauce.
I don't know how much rabbit you have but just about every year for the last 25 years we've held a "Rabbit Feed" and I've alway's made at least one large roaster of rabbit. I typically only use the loins and back legs of the rabbit for the feed. I usually keep the front legs and back for myself.

It seems that we always end up with a bunch of them during grouse hunting. Nobody seems to want them so I take them home and clean them up. Then...I make my famous Snow-Shoe Stew.

I'm not going to tell you how to make your stew, as I'm sure you can handle that. I took a gallon of stew up to deer camp with 3 rabbits diced up in it and just about as the last ladle was being scraped from the bottom of the pot, someone said, "what kind of meat is this?" They all thought it was beef!

Here's a great recipe for a cold salad

Start with 4 cups of cooked wild rice
add one minced onion
add 1.5 cups cooked diced rabbit meat
add 1.5 cups halved green grapes
add one small can of sliced water chestnuts
stir in enough miracle whip to taste
add a teaspoon of lemon juice
add teaspoon of seasoned salt
half teaspoon white pepper
chill over night
just before serving stir in one cup of cashew halves
enjoy

    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
    • We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
