Some years ago, I carried water about a mile to a patch, plat was about 7 feet tall and covered with nice buds maybe 3 weeks from harvest. Went back a week later, I could not see the sparkles from the dirt road, crap. Got there to find a rabbit had chewed it off at the ground for the moisture. It was all brown and crispy dry, I took what there was and it was ok, but we all know it would have been better in a few weeks.
Fried rabbit, rabbit soup/stew, 'cept its the wrong time of year to eat them.
