I took lots of rabbits to lots of people who needed them badly. When I could get a shot at a javalina they got those too. Nobody turned them down. Today, I doubt you could give a rabbit or a javalina away. No need to eat that stuff when they can swipe that Lone Star card for beef.

Anyway, most people wouldn't know what to do with a bird or animal that still had the fur/feathers on it, much less how to clean a gizzard, or what a liver and heart is. I used to clean all the gizzards on doves, quail and ducks and keep the livers and hearts too. I love fried gizzards/livers/hearts and eggs.

A lot of guys I know don't take the time to do all that. They pull the breast out and toss the rest. I can't do it. I watched a guy cut the breasts out of two nice pintails one morning and toss the rest into the water. I asked him what he was doing? He said, "Don't worry the alligators will eat it..... yeah, that's what I meant....

Now, I never could develop a tolerance, much less a taste, for brains (I know that's a pretty ripe comment...). I will leave them for someone else.
