Wrong time of the year to eat wild rabbits. Wait until a few weeks after the first hard frost, else you run a risk of contracting tularemia.

Unfortunately, I missed the small window to get a hunting license in my state this year, it closed in Feb, before CV-19 was much of a thing. Fortunately, no license is needed here to hunt rabbits. From what I hear, the same is true for feral hogs, which are becoming a bit of a problem in some parts. Next year, I am definitely putting in for an elk tag. I got a 4x4 largely so I can get into the areas where they hide.

Don't rabbits die if they are infected with tularemia? Is there actually a correlation between temperature and tularemia spreading in rabbits? It seems incredibly rare.

I can see there are more cases in humans during warmer months, but that is probably due to insects that are the most common disease vector, no?
