Yes we eat them I don't believe in killing them if their not going to be eaten. I love rabbit and my neighbor waits for me to bring him some every year. Right now my buddy has been taking most of them they have a cookout coming up at their church in two weeks and he always fries up a bunch of rabbit. I love just listening to the dogs run but when it's season I like to do a little shooting to I keep count of how many we kill and where so we don't over hunt any particullar spot I also have several places I don't hunt just run dogs there.
