Hello again this is another spotlighting night from last Sunday. This time i was using my Brno .22lr Which i bought a month ago. Its fitted with a Leupold VX2 3-9x40. Great setup, also has a ten shot mag that comes in very handy. The threaded barrel has also been a pro.

Bullets used were Winchester Subsonics again they shoot great from both dad's and my rifle's.

I think i shot 40+ this night, i brought 38 home for the pot.

I dont think ive seen so many of one animal taken at once. Then again ive never been hunting, and only recently have been getting into it.

Howes it taste?
 
I've eaten many of tasty rabbit. Just fry them up in what ever flavor you like, garlic & oil or onions butter.

Thats a lot of skinnin'.
 
Not to talk it up but i could of shot 200. Was not to keen jumping electric fences though.

Wild rabbit does have a game taste to it, the farmed rabbits can taste like chicken.

Ok here it is.

1 Onion
2 Cloves garlic
3 Salt & Pepper
4 Olive oil
5 Chillie Flakes (optional)
6 Sliced Mushrooms
7 Diced Capsicum
8 Tomato paste
9 Tomato Condensed Soup
10 Pasta Sauce (plain Tomato)
11 Fresh basil leaves
12 Bay leaves
13 Pasta

First soak rabbit in a bowl over night in cold water with a tablespoon of salt and 3 tablespoons of white vinegar. Put in fridge. This draws some of the bitterness rabbit can have especially if there is some blood in the meat.

Brown rabbit in a pan with oil then remove from heat and put aside.

Heat a "big" pasta sauce pot with olive oil. Add garlic, diced onion, mushrooms, capsicum, chillie flakes, salt/pepper. Cook until soft.

Add 2 tablespoons of tomato paste, cook through then add tomato condensed soup, pasta sauce, bay leaves and Fresh Basil.

Once sauce is bubbling nice, add all the rabbit and stir through. Bring sauce back to the boil. Once boiling bring the heat down to the minimun and put the lid on. Even move to a smaller burner.

Stir every 15-20mins and cook for at least 2.5 hours.

If sauce seems not enough add a can of diced tomatos or some more pasta sauce. All rabbit must be covered.

Cook pasta to your liking and enjoy. The flavours of the rabbit go right through the sauce and makes a great tasting dish.

Bake some garlic bread, nice green salad and a bottle of red....
 
G'day. Those photos bring back memories.

Work has been busy so I don't seem to get much TFL time.

I'll have to look you up the next time I'm down that way as there are no Rabbit in my area.
 
Have any of you guys heard of TB in rabbits? There is a pile up here in northern saskatchewan. I was wanting to take a few, but was told there is a risk of TB.
Nice harvest btw. bet it was alot of fun!
