I just picked up a rabbit from Rouse's and the lil' guy was $25. My friend was teasing me that I should have just gone out and shot one.

Check craigslist, and normally get them pretty cheap and fresh...

Thank you

It was an impulse buy for a recipe that I've been wanting to try. For those who are interested, I see that Best Stop has them for just over five bucks a pound. That's one of the better excuses to make my way there.

If you're ever in New Roads go to Hot Tails -- they have a very generous helping of fried rabbit served with red beans and rice for $13

Rabbit is so delicious, it shouldn't matter what it costs. It's the best.

I love rabbit. Luckily, my truck driver raises them, cleans them and gives them away to friends.

He'll, at my lease we're in for $500 a pound, counting the liquor expense. We ain't killing much but brain cells.

I don´t understand the price of duck in this country, either.

I do know this about duck, and why the price is so damn high: Besh had been in the duck business for a while there. He was raising them and using them in his restaurants.

There's no automated system/machine that will clean a duck like we have for farm raised chickens. They got rid of the ducks and use that part of the farm for raising more swine.

Forgot about that -- that's some good eats. Grab a fruit tart for dessert and wash it down with a Tahitian Treat they sell at the vending machine

I've always wanted to try this recipe.

Preferably with a rabbit I shoot when it's cooler. Like Martini said, I wouldn't kill a rabbit right now.

Be sure to check Country of Origins. Most rabbits sold in U.S. are from China.

mid city rouses had them on special this week - seemed to be about half off so i picked one up for like $12-13.

i had been curious but wasnt paying the $25 on a whim without having any idea what i was doing.

The $200 a pound for wild duck at my camp is for the whole bird. But you are totally correct - it rockets up to about $500 for boneless/breasted (can I say "breasted" on the F&DB ?)

A wise man told me about a year ago to never do the math on your meat from hunting.
