tanning rabbit & squirrel pelts
biffo replied to biffo's topic in Living Off The Land & Game Cooking
cheers bluecoyote, those methods seem to soak the whole hide though. i could find hardly any info on using a bark paste other than "it was sometimes used by native americans". oh well i'll test it out on a rabbit skin and see how it pans out. i'll post the results when i get it done cheers for the info -
i knew i shouldnt have opened this thread... now i got a hankering for some venison. while we're on the subject of venison, is there much variation in taste between species? im not sure what species ive eaten before as i only seem to have it on burns night

does anyone have any experience with oak bark paste tanning small skins? as in crushed/ground oak bark boiled up to release the tannins and applied to the flesh side of a stretched out skin. will it damage the fur or cause it to slip and would the resulting tanned pelt be waterproof? any help would be appreciated.

I had never seen one until 10 days ago; it was sat next to a "normal" on a roundabout on a main A road near to me (big, grassy island with trees & bushes) ive seen a few positivley ginger rabbits around here and a couple of melanistic squirrels but other than that nothing out of the ordinary.

all i can say is get permission from a land owner to shoot on his/her land, get a bipod or stuff a daysack to use as a rest, get to know your rifle well (i.e. pellet drop at different distances etc.) and only go for headshots. happy hunting

my personal favorite rabbit dish is my own recipe which i call "bloody spicy rabbit an compot". take a couple of good sized rabbits (strangely i find the tough old bucks particularly good for this one), strip the meat off the bone and chuck it into the pressure cooker with the livers, kidneys, a few chopped scotch bonnet(or similar) chili peppers, a couple of cloves of garlic and a little salt. serve with a compot of veggies.
