Eating what you kill

Trapped too many coyotes no desire to ever eat one. Have eaten raccoon, groundhog and pigeon, tried muskrat but couldn't get past their smell.
Grew up eating rabbit and squirrel I killed but wont eat possum, skunk, muskrat or any coyotes.
Pretty lived off deer as most red meat we ate for 20 yrs, made about everything from it.

Just got into airguns last year, planning on doing some rabbit hunting during the fall here, any recommendations on preparing or cooking wild rabbit?

Ive always dipped in seasoned flour then brown in bacon grease on med hi heat make sure grease is good and hot, then pour a cup of warm water in with them cover quickly then turn heat down to low and let simmer very slowly for up to 3 hrs. Should be falling off bone tender. Make sure after a hour or so to check to make sure water hasnt cooked out if it has ad small amount and recover.
Another way is to cook in a insta pot on high for 30-35 minutes, then dip in egg and roll or dredge in seasoned bread crumbs finely ground up, then deep fried at 375 deg for 3 minutes. Ive done tough old squirrels this way and they are super tender afterwards.
I like this method better then just frying them.
