Dispatch

[gringo40 13]

Hi Lads

 

On the rare occasion when you shoot a rabbit and you don't kill it, you only injure it whats your preffered method of seeing it off if a second shot isn't an option?

 

When I've been out with ferreting lads they obviously catch rabbits live. They'd give our furry friends head and back legs a pull in opposite directions to break it's neck, they then follow this up with a karate style chop to the back off the neck to make sure the job was done.

I've also seen clips on YouTube where lads hold the rabbit behind the front legs and literally push it's head backwards to break it's neck.

 

What about a priest, my father in law has just hand turned me one for dispatching winged game birds, pigeons etc for when i'm out with my 12 bore. Would you consider useing a priest to finish off a rabbit

 

 

Do you guys think there is a right or wrong way to do it

 

Cheers Carl

The proper way...... Hold rabbit firmly around the shoulders put your palm on the bottom of it's chin and push upwards, quick and painless to the rabbit...... none of this amateur karate chop crap!

Thats how I do it too Darryl, its called chinning lol. I seen it in a book once and the 1st time I tried it, I dropped the rabbit on the floor only to find it hadnt worked when it stood up and ran like f**k lol. (I hadnt chinned it right)

My prefered way (and I have only needed to do it three or four times now although I DO, do it to almost every rabbit) is to grab it by the back legs with my left hand; put my right hand on the back of the bunnies head and pull up to the left with my left hand and down to my right with my right hand turning my right hand anticlockwise as I pull away.

Doing this you can both hear and feel the spinal column snap.

I suppose its the same (or very similar) method ultimately as the "Chinning", but it gives that little extra pull and seperation to the spinal column.

 

Possibly its a bit overkill; but thats how I was taught how to do it and thats how the head Game Keeper on the Kill it, Cook it, Eat it program does it

Agree! Learn to chin them and you wont wind up covered in blood from a head shot, because nine times out of ten thats where newbies come unstuck, they wont streatch them because they dont want to get messed up
