Rabbit's?
I couldn't find jack squat about this online, my old man says that you can't eat rabbits during certain times of the year because they have parasites or something along those lines. Is this true does anyone know anything about this?

Mostly an old wives tale. They're like any other wild animal you choose to eat. You cook it properly. If I remember right, the biggest issue with rabbits is called tullermia (sp?) and that's like 1 or 2% of them have it, and as long as you wear gloves and follow proper hygiene then you're good on that.

Skin em and cook em. Parasites dont use calenders.

I always heard the same on squirrels. I think it was more of a guideline.

The parasites they are talking about is horsefly larvae. Although unsightly, they don't hurt the meat. The reason most people wait to hunt them until after 1st frost is the larvae have left the host animal by then.

Months with an "R"
The old guideline for rabbit and raw oysters was eat them during any month containing an "r". September through April are the cooler months and all contain an "r".
May, June, July & August contain no "r's" and are the warmest months when parasites and bacteria are most likely to be encountered.
Keep your food cold until ready to cook and cook it thoroughly and all should be good to go.
Althought I have eaten oysters in Jurne on occasion. Must have been the Silver Bullets altering my thought process.
