Anyone think of themselves as a hunter?

I've got a lot of jackrabbits around my place, but I've always been told that they're too stringy and tough to bother with. What do you think?

They are stringy and can be a little tough. I have taken them home on occasion in the past, but now leave them alone. The best method to prepare them is to separate each of the front legs, rear legs, and "backstraps" or spinal section, soak them in a brine solution for 6-12 hours, then marinate them in teriaki sauce overnight, then grill them. This seems to tenderize and adds flavor too.

I used to marinate like crazy then cook them in a sauce involving dry mustard. Then they would taste like chicken would under the same circumstances. sometimes the question would be asked to the effect 'why not just start out with chicken?" and I would have to explain that shooting their chickens would upset the farmers and that the farmers themselves had guns. Then teenage eyes would roll, etc.
