Have any of you ever eaten a Jack Rabbit or a feral pigeon?

wild game

i really was getting ready to eat a crow until one morning i was watching one eat. when i went to look it was a very decade rabbit. i then changed my mind.:eek:
 
My boss was in DC and some homeless guy asked if he could spare some money for food he told him ya see all those pigeons you can eat those they're good i've ate em.:)

I think there is a restriction on crows is the same there is for birds like magpies (seagulls on the coastal states). There are the clean up crew for dead critters (trash?) etc. The fulfill a role in ridding the carcasses from road kill other causes of death?
 
Actually had Jackrabbit on Thursday morning. We normally cook the boys at work a big breakfast at the fishmarket on Thursdays, usually fried fish or some sort of game we've shot.

This week Louann pulled out a few of the pheasants we shot in SD last year along with a couple of grouse and one Jackrabbit. Also had a bit of Golden Tilefish and a soft-shell crab or two.

Pheasants and grouse were exellent, as were the Tile and crabs, but that rabbit was marginal at best. The concensus of the guys at work was that it was not worth shooting and cleaning. I had to agree with them.
 
i have eaten lots of critters. pigon is execelent. jack was ok but only had it twice down at my cousins when i was young. if that rock chucker is like our ground hogs they are great but they have to be done right. my aunts will melt in your mouth, my first several attempts were like eating boot heals and kevlar.had a old trapper friend and his wife cooked coon, opposom, muskrat and they were delisious. some buddies gave me some elk and now i dream of a hunt and all the meat i'll get.

all wild game is good if done right. doing right is the problem as most of the knolagable people are now getting up there or gone. i luckly have lots of old recipies from my great and great, great grandparents. that and granny who is a buddies gramma that lives deep in a holler in west by god. that woman could make delisious soup with a rock and 2 toads.
