6mmBR Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Sorry I can't see you picture. Keep getting a Board error message. Try photobucket more reliable for pictures. Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charly hunter Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Can't see the photo, but if the liver has creamy looking spots then it is Toxicosis and you need to throw the rabbit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charly hunter Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Just as I said pard, "Toxicosis" not good, but you will always find a few like that now and again that's why it's always worth looking at the liver first. You did the right thing in throwing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you throw the whole carcass? Cheers OA Hi OA, I can't give you the full details of it as I do not remember it. I read it in a book many moons ago, the book is "In pursuite of Connie" I still have the book so will look it up, what I do remember is it is best to hedge the whole thing rather than take a chance.

MarinePMI Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Just curious, but do you guys accross the pond have the same rule/saying we have here in the states about rabbits? "Only eat them in months that end in "r"" The reason being that the cold months kill all the critters inside a rabbit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charly hunter Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 We don't try to live off rabbits Pat, but it is not uncommon for me to go out and shoot 30 plus in a couple of hours. Rabbits are edible all year round as long as you check them, I personally if I have a rabbit that is thin, scabby, has mixie or shows any signs of health problems when you look at the liver or intestines I just throw them, not even my dogs get them.
