Rabbit is awesome eats, albeit, winter fare only in most parts due to warbles...They taste like chicken.
Any idea how long it would take for a stranded or lost person to start suffering from lack of protein the body needs eating just Rabbit?

How do you like to cook em, Beav?
Smoke, we shoot winter cottontails only for eats...I quarter them, cut out straps. Wash and dry each piece. Cover pieces in flour infused with salt, pepper, and Jhonny’s seasoning.
Cast iron pot with oil or Crisco at a temp about 375*...Dunk pieces for 12-15 minutes, then pull and put on a paper towel to drain.
Real mashed potatoes are cooking at the same time along with a sauce pan of gravy...This is one way, I make them.
The other is same as above, except I fry pieces in the cast iron pan instead of deep frying. When pieces are almost done, I pour gravy into the cast iron pan, cover and let the Rabbit baste in the gravy for a few minutes.
Mashed tatoes is still my side dish for cooking rabbit, and gravy of course.....😎
