Well i took my golden retriever out quail hunting to see how he could handle the situation, well, we didn't see any birdies so i swapped out my shotgun for my new savage .17HMR. So as we were perched on a hill surveying the land, i noticed that my dog spotted something, and as i looked where he was looking i noticed a jack rabbit bouncing around. Ii got him in the scope and squeeze off a round, Bang DRT. I stepped it off about 110 paces, and now i got a jack rabbit ready to be BBQ'd. Man i love this little cartridge!

Enjoy. Jacks are very tasty. I just made some jack rabbit birria for dinner the other day. Put a bunch of meat in the pressure cooker and then pulled it off the bones. I had some birria sauce I had canned last year and I added it to the rabbit and warmed it all up together. It came out delicious!

Good shot. Give your dog a pat on the head for me.
You can hop but you can't hide. Yahi Bowmen. Its not how far you can shoot but how close to the game you get when you shoot. Sights we don't need any sights. Why waist time reloading when I can be making arrows.

Nice job usaf_yz426! That's a nice looking Jack Rabbit and your dog did a good job spotting it too. Well done! 
Bullseye, what is your recipe for Birria sauce? I've eaten Birria when it is made with Goat, but I'd like to try it with Jack Rabbit. If you don't mind could you PM me the ingredients, process for making the sauce and cooking process for the Jack Rabbit. Thanks!

I like to use a Dutch oven which is a covered cast iron pot. 275 to 325 degrees for 3 to 4 hours with the meat covered with a combination of beef stock and I like Merlot. Some carrots, celery, onion and garlic and cubed potatoes the last two hours and you will have a real stew. Just cut the rabbit into quarters to begin with and flour and brown in the pot or in a skillet. Then add the stock and wine and veggies.
This isn't rabbit but an elk roast done the same way. Brown it first.
Add it to the pot with the veggies.
Then add the liquid and cook. I prefer the oven because I can more closelt manage the heat.
You can cut it with a fork when done.

It isn't a Traditional Mexican Birria but it tastes great. I posted the recipe in the kitchen section or follow this link:

Elk roast?! Now that's just not fair SJ. I just had to toss my crappy dinner down the disposal after seeing that, thanks

Well, i ate some of the jack rabbit. I wouldn't goes as far to say that it was great, but it wasn't bad at all. Due to the fact that it tasted alot like liver, i would say that is the reason i wasn't too fond of it. The dogs and my daughter sure did love it. I think if i de-bone it, then crockpot it, and put a nice sauce on it, that may help flavor it up a bit

The legs are less liver flavored then the backstraps. I always age the jack in a brine solution for 3 days before freezing. Then I defrost them naturally and a lot of blood is removed which lowers the gamy taste. Using stronger spices also helps. Check out my jack rabbit sausage recipe it wont disappoint you.

Yep. You've got to soak it in a brine for 2 to 3 days and then cook it. Pressure cooking and then slow cooking works best.
