if you do fishing and tie your own flies then open the skin and spread it over a sheet of news paper let it dry out and then tie flies with it

once the rabbit is skinned .,remove any fat, flesh or membrane from the skin. then rub in some borax. availible at most chemist's. this will cure the skin just fine. but it will make the skin pretty rigid and unplyable. for a soft skin it is best off tanning it .which gives a more supple hide .suitible for clothing ect. and despite what folk say tanning is very easy..

What? Quids in? why who buys them and what for? You only get a quid for a full rabbit, so what are you going to get for an empty one??

lol, thats what i was thinking. i know people say his a bout a lot of meats but it tasted a bit like chicken. i fried it with chillies, garlic, mushrooms and black pepper. ive still got the back legs in the freezer so ill tryr another recipe for them.

Dont mean to be rude hughsey, but how skinny are you? There is hardly any meat on the chest of a rabbit. When i eat a rabbit, i eat it all in one meal... lol, or was it just a snack ?
