Do You Need to Kill a Rabbit With Your Hands, Skin and Gut it and Cook it to be a Real Thru-Hiker?

Here's a good one for you...I did not experience it first hand because I was one shelter up on the trail, but heard about it from the hikers the next night.

So Tree Thug, Giggle, Calculator, Schmuck and a few others bumped into this guy called Valcor the night before. As everyone was finishing up dinner and stoking the fire, Valcor goes off into the night with a rock and his headlamp. Ten minutes later he comes back holding a dead rabbit by the head asking if anyone would care for rabbit? About another ten minutes later he had it gutted and skinned, placed on a stick, rubbed with olive oil and herbs and was roasting it over the fire. An hour and a half later everyone had a little taste of a very fresh rabbit.

Sorry I missed it, but the news went up and down the trail. I have hiked a couple of days with Valcor and found it to be the real deal. Quite an interesting character! We can't wait for him to kill a rattle snake or break the neck of a wild boar for a pig roast!
