gutting

[bog eye 0]

morning all, was at my permission earlier, and after an hour and half i had 2 furry friends in the bag. I decided to have a go at gutting em. Following advice sought on here, i set to work, first i de-pissed one, then made a 2in gut in its belly and began to shake the intestines out. Now here is the problem, it stunk like f**k, and started to make me heave :sick: :sick:

 

is this normal for them to smell??? or had i shot one with a problem, any help would be appreciated

 

cheers Pete

:11: They aint the sweetest smelling feckers on the inside, but did you shoot it with a head shot?, if not and you hit the guts, that'll do it, or maybe you caught the guts with your knife, either way welldone for trying, persevere, you'll get used to it.

It aint that bad, there are worse smelling things out there. Well done for having a go.

[countrycommando89 7]

you most likely opened the guts when you stuck the knife in. there are some vids on youtube.com about gutting. DONT CUT THE INTESTINES FOR GOD SAKE MAN. you will only do it once. or i watched a vid where you stick the blade in dont give a worry about piercing the guts, give a big old slice right down the beast. then grab its legs and give it a good firm lash and all the guts should fly out in one foul swoop

Yes indeed . . . . and I have come across quite a few of them in my job, I can tell you!

 

Seriously though, Well done anyway mate. Stick at it and you'll find in the end that you will not find it so bad. A good tip is to breath through your mouth ( as opposed to your nose) and the smell will be very much less.

 

Take it from one who knows.

 

All the best,

Grim.

nice one pete!!.........lol

 

get yourself a knife with a gutting hook!!

 

no danger of opening anything else but the stomach, and its like having a zip on your rabbit.

 

i cut from genitals right up into the rib cage and pull everything out ( heart and lungs aswell)

 

its also good practice to inspect the liver for any signs of disease.

 

keep at it mate.........it will become seccond nature before to long, if you get a big bag of rabbits one night you'll pick it up quickly.

 

have a look on you tube..........theres some quite good techniques on there.

 

keep at 'em mate

 

all the best

the best way i find is gut them when there still warm. get a sharp knife and make a small cut just below the rib cage about an inch long put 2 fingers in and rip the belly open. then put 3 fingers between liver and gut and pull. that's the way i did it when i was doing 200 a day every day. they don't smell as bad when still warm. good luck!

well done for trying ive caught the guts before to what a smell lol my [bANNED TEXT] was sick ...

got a gut hook on me knife now works a treat ..

do it when there warm , check the liver for spots ect oat looks sus dont eat it ....

skins come of easier when there warm to ... as long as the wabbit aint an old fart lol had one other day it did not want to let go of its skin lol

wear gloves to i use ones from work saves getting covered in blood ect then trying to get clean wiping in the grass mud lol

think you done as quote above.

if you do that you should not eat them.

you can use washing up rubber gloves too, but if extremely smelly you have done the quoted.

you only need to go in 2-4mm,top chest,right the way down the centre,grab ears and tail and flick insides out,some times the kidneys stick but a harder flick and they will also fly out.

leave remains for fox if you wish but if on a farm with chickens and stuff take the.

you can feed to ferrets too

Get used to it after a while you ever gutted them the next day now that stinks lol. As soon as i have finished shooting i gut them save doing when you get home just ready for the freezer then. Plus like what others have mentioned its easier when there warm skin comes off no bother. Keep at it mate you will get there ..
