years ago on the rio grande about half way from del rio to sanderson, i was shooting in the pasture when i saw a couple of men up on the windmill turning the wheel. i walked over and spoke with the men who were on their way to san angelo. other than a bunch of dried chiles' they had no food and needed water. while taking them up to the house, i saw a jack take off. the jack stopped after a short run and i shot the jack making a good shot. i picked up the rabbit and offered it to my new friends. i will never forget being amazed that they declined this offering explaining they only wanted the cotton tails. it was explained the cotton tails were considered meat and the jacks were rabbits that could not be ate.
