The back straps of Hare from a spring young animal are superb eating.  Like all game meat, it gets tougher in winter and as they get older with, less fat but those ones you slow cook over a low fire for 2 -3 hours, just simmering.    Add garlic, red onion, capsicum and fresh herbs, or dried is that what you have.  Very much like Fallow deer tenderloins and I've had the back steaks named as such by folk who've eaten them.

I’ve only taken one hare (which I took with a bow), but we cooked it and ate it, and it was excellent!
I sort of made up a recipe for it, and cooked it in the slow cooker in coke (yes, the drink coke-a-cola).
As I said, it was excellent and the next time I get the opportunity to shoot a hare it’s definitely coming home with me!!!
If anyone is interested in the recipe pm me and I’ll send it to you 👍🏻

you under estimate a heart shot. Once the heart stops so does the ability to pump adrenaline through the body. Having said that I'll take the head shot. At night with the red light I've found they are more prone to sit up and listen that's ideal to locate the heart. Any shot that is a clean kill is the best shot. ]]> Sat, 30 Jul 2022 07:50:44 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=592&PID=4238#4238 Hares.......

Yes I have eaten them before. The only ones worth eating are the headshot ones Ive take. one with the wrong bullet placement and it ran for a while before expiring was full of adrenalin and when cooked we had to throw it out. ]]> Sat, 30 Jul 2022 06:40:17 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=592&PID=4235#4235 Hares.......

I slow cook mine on a charcoal bbq. placing the charcoal brickets to one side. I then put the hare directly over them and turn once you see the flesh lightly brown, then move them off the direct heat to the other side to cook at a slower pace. I eat the back straps, rear legs. ]]> Fri, 29 Jul 2022 12:40:31 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=592&PID=4230#4230 Hares.......
