I'm no rabbit expert but as I understand it this winter is due to be the most severe since 1976...

I shot a couple of bunnies on one of my "urban" shoots last night and when I came to unzip them I was amazed at the amount of fat on them. As well as the two lines along the shoulders,,the kidneys were completely covered in fat which extended some distance towards the head and tail end. Does this mean that a hard winter is ahead??? or are they just lazy b*ggers .

May just mean the rabbits are mature, with more than one winter's accumulation of fat in them.
What you describe isn't unusual in rabbits I've shot in past two winters.
Bunnies have to fatten up, as the new grass isn't up till May.
The ones that aren't like this might not survive a harsh winter.
I'm back.
this is interesting cause i gutted some squirells on monday that were very fatty
are squirrels good to eat then never thought of munching one lol

Obviously woodies are fine to eat, but does is there anything to be done with Collared doves ???

Just how "urban" is this shoot? It's not outside the local branch of Cr*pDonald's is it??Originally Posted by Velocette
Tree rats make excellent eating. You need about 3 for a good chow down but when you have them they are worth it.
Never tried collards, but I will as soon as I get them. The only one I have got so far went as "bait". There was not a lot of meat on it, so again you would need a few to get a decent dinner to bounce your gums off.

I tried collared dove once. I put it in a slow cooker, and yet it was still surprisingly chewy, though quite tasty.

Not tried, but apparantly more flavoursome than Woodie.Originally Posted by Lightyear
Lets just say its in an exclusive town,,,where "Fat Rascals" from Betty,s TeaRooms are a more likely source of plumpness than the above suggestionOriginally Posted by cr*pshot
