    After hunting and getting ready to feed on some rabbits I like to take the bones with skin on them and boil the skin and bones for several hours until the skin comes off and then fix it up in some spicy gumbo

    They are great-you can coat the legs and prepare themlike hot wings or add tomatoes,onions,mushrooms,etc and cook them in a slow cooker-yumyum. Why shoot them if your not gonna eat them lol.
