safe to eat?

[AlexMVegas]

During this time of year, is it safe to consume cottontail, or dove? Just bought a new airfryer and want to try it out. Hoping we dont have to wait too long if at all!

September 1st thru September 15th is the BEST time of year to it dove. The 2nd best time to eat dove is November 14th thru December 28th.
As far as cottontail, I think your ok (assuming the meat looks good) but I'll let others chime in.

WE have been eating cottontails and jacks with no ill effects, but word to the wise: leave the ground squirrels alone.

Check the rabbits liver for white spots..if no spots then it should be safe from tularemia. Post pics when you air fry those bad boys!!

You're fine.. eat on. Though I dunno how rabbit or dove would be in an air fryer.

I hope so. I've been eating them for over fifty five years now.

Wouldn't eating a "Chimp Monk" be somewhat cannibalistic?......

It used to piss him off cause chimpmonks kept getting in his tack shed and chewed up leather saddles.that was his way of gettin back at them.lol.
He ate lizards and all kinds of crap.he bit the head off a lizard rt in front of me.
He was a classic
