Hey!  They aren't common there, certainly, but out west here, we have Jack
Rabbits, which ARE hares.  Everyone I have talked to out here about cooking
the critters says no one has tried it because it isn't worth the effort.  I'll
even allow that they might be a touch stringier, and leaner than cottontails,
but they are a LOT bigger than cottontails, too.  I'll bet they aren't THAT
much different in taste and texture.

How about it, anybody out there with experience cooking these dog-sized
hares??
