i wasn't sure what the rules are on that one...

i image that if I kill it with a trap, not a gun, then it should be OK

Sure, you can do whatever you like as long as you DON'T FUCKING TELL ANYONE ABOUT IT.

3/17/2010 12:48:38 AM

You can kill it with a gun, too.

Just not using it as intended.

3/17/2010 12:48:58 AM

on a related note, how much is rabbit meat at the Farmer's Market?

3/17/2010 12:51:53 AM

I don't see why you couldn't eat it.

Probably cheap enough to no risk it with the one in your yard -- it could have disease or just be skinny and/or not delicious.

3/17/2010 8:01:15 AM

If I remember correctly the rabbits in his neighborhood are pretty fat bunnies

3/17/2010 8:08:05 AM

it was indeed a fat bunny

If I am not mistaken, you do not need a license to kill a rabbit as long as it is on your own property, or you are an invited guest on someone else's property. But if you are planning to shoot it, there are regulations against discharging a firearm within city limits. If you live out in the county, you are probably good to go.

its not rabbit season but fuck it....my grandpa says there are only two season...salt and pepper

3/17/2010 9:49:51 AM

I have tons of fat ones out here. My GF won't let me shoot them though. And even if I did shoot them, I would have no idea how to clean them.

3/17/2010 9:51:37 AM

just run it under water

3/17/2010 9:56:15 AM

I worked with a guy when I lived in Raleigh that used to shoot squirrels in his yard and eat them. He had a whole freezer full.

3/17/2010 9:58:14 AM

You should try to catch it, like last Sunday when you were running around trying to catch Bobby's dog.

3/17/2010 10:21:25 AM

i was just trying to get giggles from my audience. i could have caught that bitch in a heartbeat, had I been trying

^^^ because I want to cook rabbit for dinner and if I can't kill the one in my yard, the only other option is to go to the rabbit carcass stand

Nah, you can do it. Just don't get caught

lol

3/17/2010 10:59:59 AM

rabbit meat isnt manly enough for theduke to eat

3/17/2010 11:01:01 AM

For the record, it is completely legal to raise rabbits for personal consumption. However, there may be regulations regarding how they are slaughtered.

"Will you trap and remove wildlife from my property? No, Wake County Animal Control is not authorized to provide wildlife removal services.

The permit can be issued to the property owner by a Wildlife Damage Control Agent of the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission.

thanks, man

do you have any idea how much rabbit meat costs at the Farmer's Market

3/17/2010 11:29:01 AM

3/17/2010 11:30:49 AM

Sorry, I do not. The permit is free though. I am sure they'd give you one to catch and dispose of a rabbit that keeps eating your plants though (especially if you live in the city limits where you can't discharge a firearm).

3/17/2010 11:30:51 AM

Borrow a bb gun.. it's more fun that way

3/17/2010 12:15:07 PM

Rabbits are delicious.

Preparing them basically involves gutting them and skinning them, similarly to a deer.

It is technically illegal out of season for rabbits.

I miss rabbit hunting...it was awesome.

3/17/2010 1:11:16 PM

i got a great recipe for braised rabbit in the Crock Pot


i'd also like to try braised goat

3/17/2010 1:13:54 PM

^^This.

Rabbit is actually really good, I prefer it over venison because... well goddamnit I like fatty meats.

there are food banks for people like you

3/17/2010 1:15:25 PM

I'd recommend a .22 over a BB gun. Most BB guns don't have the power to kill a rabbit unless you score a head shot at fairly close range.

3/17/2010 1:32:00 PM

3/17/2010 1:54:59 PM

^ if done properly, that shit actually works. I caught a squirrel in my backyard like that when I was in middle school. It just takes tons of patience.

3/17/2010 2:05:13 PM

be a real man a use a bow and arrow!!

3/17/2010 2:05:38 PM

just remember to yell "ITS COMING RIGHT FOR US!" before shooting.

3/17/2010 2:08:17 PM

3/17/2010 2:16:55 PM

i would however recommend eating it in a kitchen or dining room as opposed to the front yard.
