Always called them grubs here growing up. Only hunt rabbits and squirells in months that have an "r" in them and usually won't find them buggers.
That is what my dad taught me. There is a reason why rabbit season is only in the cold months.
Everything happens for a reason, sometimes the reason is you made a bad decision.

Yea my son didn't know there is a season for rabbit he just saw it in the garden eating my lettuce so he shot it with his pellet gun. Afterward I had to tell him it wasn't the right time of year to kill rabbits and there was a season for them in January.

What you son shot wasn't a rabbit.  It was recycled lettuce. ;)

In West Virginia I found them in squirrels. Called them "Warbles" but have heard them called "Wolves".

Never seen one on a rabbit, but have seen a ton of fleas that would jump off as the body started cooling.

Those things make you loose your appetite in a hurry. When I was a kid killed a rabbit and it had one on each side below the skin about where the kidneys are located. Didn't eat that bunny and never hunted rabbits unless the month had an "r" in it.

Most dishwashers get up to about 170-180 degrees. That's enough heat to kill most vegetative (live)cells. The human body has more bacteria cells in the stomach than human cells.

You could fry those gusanos and eat them, but no thank you.

Yea that's what I was thinking and tossed the carcass and kept the pelt. Course another reason for hunting rabbits in the colder months is they have thicker pelts so this one is rather thin but workable.

The two kills ive made with my dads 30-30 rifle the animals a bull Moose and a Stag Caribou or reindeer as some calls them,  they were almost blaze orange when i was panching them, i left them and told wildlife about it they called me a month after each report and indeed the animals had tumor growths and cancer thru out their bodies, some glad i didnt eat none, they smelt like  a rabbit that was left out in the heat for a month, and ive never seen bot flies, some glad too id be a herbivore some fast if i found one in my kill lol
