What is the best way to do this ? any tips on what to avoid ? They always look nice and neat when layed out in them photo's but they aint so neat when I do em lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bigbarnett 33 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 holde head or front feet, locate the soft spot just under the bottom of the rib cage, stick your knife in and slice down towards the bottom, dont go to deep or youl sh*t bag it, but leave an opening big enough for your hand to get in. now grab the back feet and give it a flick motion, the guts will drop out slightly, now stick your hand towards the top disconect the cords pull all the guts out, and put em in a bag or just chuck them where the farmer cant see/wont mind Quote Link to post Share on other sites
masmiffy 82 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) stanley knife push the blade out just a little so you dont cut the guts We used to do this but used the snap blade cheap knives from the pound shop! Its a good method if you dont carry a 'favourite' knife. Good cheap knife for the job in my opinion is the carbon bladed Opinel. I also like to let my rabbits 'cool off' before gutting as its not as messy then (blood wise) Edited March 1, 2012 by masmiffy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scotty2306 37 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 i never used to do it on the spot but now i do i noticed its a lot easier and less shit to carry home plus you can carry a lot more Quote Link to post Share on other sites
masmiffy 82 Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 I cant be arsed with the extra mess that comes with 'gut it now' covered in blood and guts aint my ideal day or night! Do em all in one go one lot of mess! If ferreting its easier to hang em up and collect later out shooting, if on foot, the extra weight is a problem if you carry em!

yorky_1 0 Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Id love to catch a Rabbit, cook it , and eat it Putting a Rabbit on the table isnt just a pastime/hobby its financially appealing too. Theres some really good recipes knocking about nowadays. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
