King,
I grew up in Nebraska. There wasn't much that my dad did not hunt:
Pheasant, bobwhite, fox squirrel, cottontail and jack rabbits were the most
common game in our household. While I enjoyed eating all of the above,
like you I could just never get over the smell of rabbit innards.
Plus skinning an old bunny or squirrel could be a real chore.
Now when I'm bird hunting I never shoot furry game. My cocker
loves chasing them and I don't want him to get the idea that
they are more important than pheasants or grouse.
I'm sure if my dad were still around he'd think I was nuts.
