You're certainly right that we're much better situated than we were last year. I hope you'll stay with me through 2010.

I am glad you plan to continue on. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this blog, and would be saddened if it wasn't going to continue on into the New Year.

I didn't mean to suggest that's all we have to eat for the winter months. If it were, we'd emerge lean indeed! It's only a list of things we procured ourselves. We supplement freely with trips to Stop&Shop.And that's a good point about snaring rabbits. We have them on our property, so I should look into it. Paula — I should have been clearer.

And that’s a good point about snaring rabbits. We have them on our property, so I should look into it.

Your pickings do seem slim, indeed. Do you have a load of flour from which you can make pasta? Because that would stretch a lot of your canned and frozen goods...Don't forget you don't necessarily have to hunt rabbits- you can snare them as well.I have yet to even order my seeds for this next year (as well as build beds) and my bare root fruit and nut trees and cane fruits won't be here until January, but I hope to join your challenge next year. Good luck with the cache! Folks used to call February “hungry month”, because things tended to dwindle down in the root cellar by then. Your pickings do seem slim, indeed.

Don’t forget you don’t necessarily have to hunt rabbits- you can snare them as well.

I have yet to even order my seeds for this next year (as well as build beds) and my bare root fruit and nut trees and cane fruits won’t be here until January, but I hope to join your challenge next year. Good luck with the cache!

We've heard that rabbit hunting without a dog is an uphill battle. (This from our plumber, Bob, who is a serious hunter and trains beagles specifically for rabbit hunting.) If we go out, we'll try your method. CCD — Thanks for the hunting tip. We’ve heard that rabbit hunting without a dog is an uphill battle.

This will unnerve the rabbit and get him to flush. Works on pheasants, quail, partridge, etc... as well.Awesome story you have here.
