    There are sooo many rabbits this year! I’m talking about wild ones. They are all over the place. I scared up 3 just getting a load of firewood to bring up to the house.

    We have a bunch of domestic rabbits as well. Usually between 30-70 at any given time. We had to build another hutch, so out to the wood pile we went to get some wood for a hutch. We milled every piece. I was putting shakes on in the snow with the temp around zero. Now I have to carry it out to the rabbit yard.

    Good for you. We used to raise a few rabbits. Good meat. I also was gifted a great recipe for rabbit sausage and ir was wonderful. Sadly I don't remember how I made it and wife's filing system was horrible so can't find it. Also the fellow who gave me tthe recipe is no longer with us. Oh well, I stopped raising animals several years ago.
