We had great times shooting jackrabbits at night in Ozona back in the late 70’s
hanco, you struck another chord with me. When I was a kid like from 10-15 years old, I had a friend, well he was more like a relative since we had a common great aunt and uncle, (my great uncle was married to his great aunt)and his dad's family ranched on Matagorda Island. They used to take me over there and we'd drive around n the jeep checking the cattle and we'd shoot Jack Rabbits. We'd have 8 or 10 at a time and take 'em back to the ranch house and fry 'em up. Damn those things were tough, but it was a great experience for a kid. I think if we'd had a pressure cooker and could have parboiled them first or maybe fried 'em under pressure they would have been good eating. As it was I always had sore teeth for about a week.
