Jackrabbits

Originally Published In West Kerr Current

Ever eat a jackrabbit? Many years ago, I was a guest for some predator calling on a ranch on the Frio River. On arrival day we were served lunch by the ranch cook. Lunch was a delicious stew filled with tender meat that was obviously from a small mammal. I inquired of the cook what species of animal, and he very reluctantly informed me that it was a young jackrabbit he’d collected that morning. His reluctance was because he figured (correctly) that most Texans are prejudiced against eating jackrabbit.
