MissRhianL 70 Posted September 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 Didnt state it was a new way just thought I would post it as not everybody has seen this method Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 I do that on fairly young rabbits but it isn't so pretty on a tough old buck rabbit. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socks 32,253 Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 By the time you have done one rabbit with that method I will have done at least 5 with a knife ...... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The one 8,467 Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 You maybe get a gutted rabbit that way but using a knife the game dealers can see if it's a clean rabbit Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nothernlite 18,077 Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Well done your other half prefer a blade but Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ZacB 114 Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 I'm guessing this method bruises the hell out of the rib cage area? Reason I ask is where our rabbits go, they come out of jackets & sold whole on the counter so a black & blue top half wouldn't look quite as appealing. Still might have a play on a young'un though just for the hell of it - ferrets aren't likely to object Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MissRhianL 70 Posted September 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 You push from just below the rib cage down so your not breaking Its ribs. Once you got the knack you can do it alot quicker. We haven't had trouble as of yet with the older rabbit. Also I don't catch 5 rabbits and then gut them all together I gut them then and there.

Ads 39 Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Load of bollocks about being less messy, you still have to skin and open the rabbit up only if you use this method, there's shit everywhere when it's opened because you pop the stomach. Lot cleaner and a lot less effort required with a good sharp knife 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
