I read a book about one of the early Alaska expeditions. They followed a river inland for months and had only rabbit to eat. They cooked the rabbit native style, removed the intestines and burnt the hair off over the fire then consumed the whole thing, hide and guts included in order to avoid rabbit starvation. So I guess if you eat enough parts there is enough fat to keep you going. The natives managed to survive somehow.
I tried a few cottontail’s in Oregon growing up, they were pretty rank. We have both snowshoe and cottontail in western MT, one day I’ll try one. I love domestic rabbit.
