Oh no I didn't feel you were getting on me.Texas doesn't consider them game animals and I don't think our jack rabbits would be worth eating on their best day,they are varmint.I will pass on cotton tails with hopes of a good freeze followed by snow,then I eat rabbit! I love pheasant hunting after a good snow...every brush pile has a bird or cotton tail and they are fed on corn or wheat.Now thats good hunting and eating!
