Is it rabbit season yet?

For those who are wondering:

Birdshot will kill rabbits, if you haven&#39;t got a small-caliber weapon.

If you plan to eat the rabbit, remember to pick the shot out of the meat before you eat it.

However:

If you use steel shot, this is not, strictly speaking, necessary. [/b][/quote]
I have a small caliber .380, do they make birdshot shells for that?

We have some racoons around here that have been bugging the crap out of me. I hear they make good eats as well.

Here is a nice stuffed rabbit recipe, great for Easter or Thanksgivings feast. The Oriental flavourings in the stuffing will go well with yams and garden vegetables. Preparation time, 45 minutes; Cooking time, 1.5 hours. Serves 4.

10 mL cooking oil 2 tsp
60 mL finely minced celery 1/4 cup
480 mL soft bread crumbs 2 cups
2 mL salt 1/2 tsp
1 mL pepper 1/4 tsp
1 mL ground dry ginger 1/4 tsp
10 mL soya sauce 2 tsp
60 mL chopped water chestnuts 1/4 cup
80 mL chicken broth or rabbit stock 1/3 cup
1 rabbit, about 1.5 kg 1
15 mL soft butter 1 tbsp
2 mL paprika 1/2 tsp
30 mL marmalade 2 tbsp
10 mL bottled steak sauce 2 tsp

Heat oil in a small skillet. Add celery, sauté until soft. In a large bowl, mix celery and next 7 ingredients. Spoon into cavity of rabbit, fasten with skewers. Blend butter and paprika, brush on surface of rabbit. Roast, covered, at 180°C (350°F) for 50 minutes after juices begin to sizzle. Mix marmalade and steak sauce, spoon over rabbit. Roast uncovered, 20 minutes longer.

That&#39;s all well and good, but I don&#39;t see any anti-rabbit rhetoric.

Try again.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, cry me a river bunny boy. Maybe I can shove some snow down there to cool that itch for you.

That&#39;s not true, according to this, they&#39;re expecting sun in Yorkshire on the 17th.
