What do you do with the rabbits you catch?

[Ipswhip 17]

Just curious, do you sell them to local butchers or have them for yourself/ family?

[chris k 205]

The clean ones get sold to butchers and hotels and the bruised ones get fed to the ferrets and lurcher.

I use most i catch for dog food/Ferret food/The pot and stock both chest freezers for the summer. And once the freezers are full anybody that wants a brace is more than welcome too them, Round here the game dealer try's too give you 50p for a bigger rabbit and 30p for a smaller rabbit i dont even take any too him id rather give them away myslf than him pushing them out for £4.40...
