A hare's one thing - check out this post from Chris of On The Kitchen Steps on butchering a deer and this one from Chef Chris Cosentino’s Offal Good on family turkey processing.

Though I don’t eat meat I fully applaud people catching and dressing their own wild animals. Good on you. We’ve lost touch with where the food comes from, let alone butchery skills.

I remember eating wild hare, complete with the odd bit of shot in it, as a teenager. It was baked and a bit dry but pleasant enough taste. For a while there was commercially raised rabbits available from the supermarket in New Zealand, less gamey and quite delicious stewed with red wine and herbs.

Tempting but not quite enough to make me become a carnivore just yet :)

Oh and I watched Watership Down last night. No joke.

Cool. Gross, but fascinating.

I think it must be safe enough here to admit that I do like me a bit ‘o butchery.

Ahem, that’s the bit we don’t want to discuss. But evidence of the rootin’ is the sproggery … BTW, forgot Anthony, the calicivirus did wipe out a lot of wild rabbits, but not nearly enough and it wasn’t so effective around the eastern states where there are still heaps of bush bunnies. There certainly are where I live.
