When Daddy was a survival instructor in Nevada, we ate jackrabbit once. Oh, deary me. Not an experience any of us want to repeat!

I clocked one of them in nevada once as it ran, full speed, next to my car. I got to 40 mph before I started pulling ahead. Damn! Those things can run!When Daddy was a survival instructor in Nevada, we ate jackrabbit once. Oh, deary me. Not an experience any of us want to repeat!

Dessert Jacks are only good for making broth. They're all muscle and not worth the time of cooking them for meat.
They do make a wonderful broth however.
I concur Tom, on my first tour that included France I thought Coq Au Vin was an invitation to have nooky in the tour eqiup van.
Pigeons wouldn't stand a chance in my neighborhood. There are lots of Hawks and Owls around my house. I love em. They eat snakes, mice and any critter dumb enough to come out in the open within their sight.
I was walking my teacup chihuahua, Meko one evening and a hawk made a run for it. I scared it off by waving my arms.
Little Meko peed herself, but she did that for anything that happened near her.
When my JR terrier decided to head out for the Mississippi river and was on her own for over a week, she came home with claw marks on her back. So, yeah, watch out for your small animals if you have a lot of hawks, vultures, eagles, falcons. There actually is a generic word for those types of birds, can't remember what it is.
Birds of prey.
That is one. The other one that comes to mind is 'raptore' birds. These birds are also very dangerous for people. Just walking and getting too close to their territory and they will attack. We have had a pair of nesting red tail hawks destroyed because they attacked several people and drew blood with their talons. The nest then had to be destroyed. They had built their nest right next to a sidewalk that was used by people coming and going as well as children. You have remember, those talons are used to rip open flesh of possible rabid animals.
Yeah, destroy them! They should know better than to attack humans for encroaching on their nesting area! I always thought you had to get bitten to contract rabies, as it is transferred via saliva and I'm pretty sure rodents aren't carriers. Rodents being one of their primary food sources.
