WHAT DO YOU DO WITH YOUR CATCH?

[tote 854]

Just wondering what all you rabbitcatchers do with the coneys you catch?

 

If I have a good sized bag of clean rabbits[ferreted or long netted] I will dress them for the butcher.

 

Lurchered or shot rabbits go to the dogs and ferrets.

 

Every now and then my son Declan[9] and I will sit down to a platefull of casseroled rabbit and

salad potatoes,beautifull.Can't get the wife or oldest son,Dylan[12] to try it.

Normally eat mine, Thats the main enjoyment for me, Going out any being abl eto eat what you catch. If I have to much it goes to the ferrets, only fair they got it for me lol.

 

Have yet to get enough to make it worth while to sell to the butcher.

[stubby 175]

ferreted or head shot goes straight on the table, or in the freezer for ourselves/dog/ferrets

 

my youngest wouldent eat rabbit, so we cooked it and said it was chicken,lol

Much the same as above really.

By the end of last year i felt like i had tried every recipe and the ferrets got more and more of the catch!

Wife and teenagers have never eaten rabbit which seems a common thread for some reason.

As a kid we ate quite a bit so it comes naturally i suppose.

I agree with Yokel...I absolutely love to find my quarry,catch it, prepare it and eat it.

I still find it difficult not to let out a "mmmmm" sound when i'm tucking ino a rabbit that was roaming wild earlier that day.I always think i will be able to sell them or give them away but somehow can always find a more pleasant way to dispose of them!

This never ceases to amaze me, the amount of people who will not eat game. Iam mates with two keepers both of which have wives who will only eat out of a supermarket. My first misses (bitch) would say your not getting me or the kids to each that rubbish, its disgusting.

i used to have 3 butchers who took a dozen each week in season,and an old boy who would take 50 plus, any week they were avalable. he sold them in working mens clubs and made a few bob,a lot of free beer and was known as the best poacher in the world .he,s dead now and the butchers have all closed down along with most of the working mens clubs, times have changed,if its not hal hal meat it wont sell in Leicester. micky

The ferrets get the first rabbit of the day,after all if it was not for them i would not get any,then the rest i eat myself or give to family and friends.I keep the shot ones(shotgun) for the ferrets in the freezer,the ones shot with airifle i keep.

so the ferrets get what i catch or the dogs

[Guest Frank]

I have eaten every rabbit i have killed. The dogs usually get to have a bit to. They like the liver and kidneys. Rabbit stewed with baby onions in tomato and red wine sauce is one of my favourite dishes.

hey pilgrim fair shout, eat every one you have caught, i just went through my records for the last twelve months, i worked it out that i would have to eat 9.75 rabbits every day of the year. :sick: i just dont think i am man enough for that. . Before anyone starts on about bragging, i just thought it would be funny to work out. All of mine are now sold, but we still keep a few for us and the dogs, and not forgetting the ferrets of course.

im the same ,3 kids and a wife none will touch game but at least they tried, i hate parents that wont let they kids even try, it would be the most healthy thing they've ever eaten but they would rather eat tesco shit .Bloody kids must think chickens are born wrapped in clingfilm .
