| Senior Member  | Rabbits... when to hunt
So I live in Texas. Aren't there certain months out of the year that you're not supposed to eat rabbit meat? I think I remember hearing something about that once, but not sure. I've thought about hunting them this year, but want to make sure before I get into it. Thanks in advance. |

Not many hard frosts in Texas, are there??  I've killed rabbits in Wisconsin, in a foot of snow, after a hard freeze of 2 months and still found plenty of fleas on rabbits.. I shoot rabbits during rabbit season.. In Wisconsin, that's mid October til the end of Feb.. The die the same all season, and all taste !!!! good, too. | |

That pretty much boils down to the summer months: May, June, July, August. Supposedly that's when they have some kind of worm that's like trichinosis in pork, or so I've been told. Never seen a worm in rabbit meat myself, and I imagine it wouldn't matter anyway if you cooked it well-done.
