...Silly answers.

I was about to say I'd done that, but that was about silly questions. I might have to work on this one a bit. So instead I'll go on about...

...bunny rabbits.

When I lived in Wisconsin, in the country, I'd see a rabbit in the yard from time to time. In the Winter one would often be under the bird feeder munching spilled bird seed. I'd see a rabbit along the edge of the road at times in the greener months as well. I never got very close, but I did see them.

It wasn't a big deal to me, then, when I saw the occasional rabbit in the yard when I moved to Fairmont. There was one time when I was mowing the lawn and a rabbit watched, semi-hidden in a dip in the neighbors yard. I was a bit surprised it stayed there with the noise of the mower and me moving around.

Moving across town didn't mean no longer seeing a rabbit or two. This past Summer or Fall one liked to hide in some bushes near the house and I might not have noticed except that spot was near the walk and when I walked nearby, the rabbit would run out and away from me. Had it kept still I wouldn't have noticed it and it kept startling me a bit when it did that. The rabbit went around the house, which was somewhat amusing, as it wound up only a few feet in front of me but had taken the longer way to get there. Late this fall it seemed to realize that moving wasn't always a good idea as I'd get home and see it hiding in some other bushes by a fence. It wasn't until it snowed some that the rabbit seemed to give up on that location.

I've never eaten rabbit, but it's from lack of interest rather than lack of availability. Supposedly they are not all that difficult to snare.

I am NOT easy to snare! You'd need to use really advanced techniques like reverse psychology to trap me ("Only the coolest rabbits go foot-swinging, Feloni's too square to be interested.")

Oh, the bunnies in your neighborhood didn't just go away, they moved into fortified bunkers underground, waiting for the signal to strike.

If they've gone underground, they've done a poor job of it, leaving all those easily followed tracks in the snow. I still see a rabbit once in a while, just not in the places it was before. Besides, what would they strike with, squirrel snares (http://www.m4040.com/Survival/Skills/Hunting%20and%20Snaring/Snares/Squirrel%20Snare.htm)?

They taste sort of like chicken. ;P Dry, stringy, tough chicken. If you're an eagle or a red-tail hawk, maybe worth the bother.

Funny, the one time I had rabbit (lapin a gueuze), it was fairly greasy.

I was thinking of wild rabbit. Like venison from wild sources, wild rabbit tends to be pretty lean. Perhaps you encountered cage-raised rabbit or it may have been the preparation. Many game cookbooks recommend larding or wrapping rabbit in baconfat to prepare it for cooking...
