dytkos 17,820 Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Very neat, but I'd rather have the guts out asap, can leave them for a few days before dressing them that way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fn19 0 Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 intresting, different way to how i do it!! good though!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stubby 175 Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Interesting to watch, and for cooking a good idea, but for using as ferret food, he's thrown away the good bits, kidneys/liver/heart and lungs Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sue 1 Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 ok for cooking but for the ferrets you would leave the offel in and i certainly wouldnt skin it,neat job though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueCoyote 0 Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 i dont know about wild rabbits but i like this way for the domestic ones..... i also like this method better than the way my dad and grandad taught me...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hob&Jill 258 Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Takes way to long for me... Wastes far to much meat on the back legs. Chop of all 4 feet and the head with a hand axe, takes less than 10 seconds. Work your hand inbetween the skin and flesh so your hand is right through over the saddle and out the other side. Chop through the loose skin over saddle. Pull skin apart. Thats the method I use and so long as you cut the right amount of feet of it it is very quick. If you dont cut enought of the feet of it will leave little socks on the rabbit which make it take longer. Would be quite good have have a rabbit skinning comp next season? make videos and compare techniques.. ATB, HJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
leegreen 2,210 Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 For the dogs and ferrets I dont even chop off the feet, I used to but if I left the feet on the floor two of my bitches would eat them. So its out with the guts and thats about it. I quite often divy them up with an axe or machette. yc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MikeTheDog 153 Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Work your hand inbetween the skin and flesh so your hand is right through over the saddle and out the other side. Quicker still if you pinch the skin over the saddle, cut with sharp knife and then pull apart... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
victor 10 Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 every one has there own method, but i think mine is quicker. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IanB 0 Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Everyone has there own methods, its easier to gut rabbits out in the field as mentioned, then when home just seperate the back pelt as mike commented and pull apart to skin... To be honest I don't bother skinning they just get gutted and stored inthe chest freezer for ferrets/dogs, if I go out to make a day or night of it, then there gutted and taken to the dealer...

masmiffy 82 Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Paunch em in the field saves carrying home the extra weight! As for the 'offal' my great aunt would have killed me if I chucked it away, makes the gravy!!! Or she would have eaten it herself. Grandad always ate the brains as well!!
