Rabbit is great meat, I love eating it, and nothing tastes better than food that you know the history of, and have killed/grown yourself.

I agree with that, which is why given the choice I would rather eat a home reared chicken than a wild rabbit or pigeon.
I'm very wary these days with the increased industrialisation of agriculture, & its reliance on agro-chemicals, that everything bunny & woody are eating might not be all that wholesome.

bunny eats close to home so like foraging shellfish know the local hazards

the only thing i have heard of is that they can eat enough solinacii spp to deliver a toxic dose by eating a whole bunny per person

it aint common but it has happened afaik

part of hunting is observation of the environment and the implications of what you learn

at 30 m you should be very aware of what they are having for dinner

I know from experience that there are certain times of year when I don't like eating wood pigeon.
When they are grazing young oil seed rape plants they can be tainted with brassica flavour & now when they are eating ivy, again because of taint.
You are what you eat goes for game as well as us.
