I use my wife's beef brisket recipe...soak 24hr swimming in BBQ sauce, cook ~3hr@~300? Not sure, meat falls off the bone. Also helps to ask 'em their age before you shoot 'em (in the head to prevent gutsplat and meat ruin). Tender ears=young, tough=old.

Heat kills F. tularensis, so cook meat to the right temperature — a minimum of 160 F (71.1 C) for pork and ground meat and game meat, 145 F (62.8 C) for farm-raised steaks and roasts — to make it safe to eat.

It's a bot fly larvae (like the one crawling out of the bunny in the video). We had two with them inside. Haven't hunted the hot months since...

I'm just saying

Those are BOT fly's, as far as I know they do not affect the meat at all. Just a little weird to deal with them coming out of something you plan on eating.

That just made my lunch less enjoyable.

It looks like a Warble Fly. I've had them in one of my rabbits before. They are pretty gross. I think they are pretty harmless to the overall meat consumption but I won't eat the rabbit. I've had rabbits with ticks and I've eaten those with no problems.

Tularemia is very rare. It's named after Tulare County, where I grew up. I always check my rabbits for spots on the liver.
