Rabbit guts, what do you do?

[mike68]

At the risk of being stupid,what do you do with the guts , skin heads etc when you have shot your bunnies?

What would be the preferred method of disposal?

I like to prepare them at the end of a nights shooting.

Cheers

Mike

Just return them to nature.

Under a bush, hedge ditch. Away from people and water, i.e well away from footpaths.

I tend to gut rabbits in the field, then once home, skin and de head, put all the bits into a dustbin bag and freeze, untill dustbin day, then into the dustbin, it saves my missus moaning about the amount of flies

Recycle them! Why not give a little back by leaving the guts, skin and heads well out of the way of "prying eyes" for the foxes, crows and magpies etc to feed off? You could actually use this to your advantage by using them as a bit of a "bait station" to attract the "carrion" with a comfortable and safe shooting position (Or hide) for you nearby!

We field gut them in a hole that we dig, and make it quite deep as usally 25+ rabbits a time.

If i have some orders they hang for a day. If not, big cleaver and chopping block, off with the heads and feet as they fit in the freezer much better.

 

I keep a few heads as my 3 hobs like them as a snack and they have a good tussle with them.

For most people nature is a wonderful thing!

 

....and they do make excellent fox bait too!

[aj85]

some goes to the foxes (well out of the way under a bush etc) and the rest go to my lizards and the snapping turtle. those guys will eat anything and can easily digest bone etc.

Many years ago I used to shoot a golf course at night, often bringing in excess of a hundred headshot rabbits back for the butcher on Sunday morning.

 

Drill was to gut the lot into a bin liner, down the butcher at 10am sharp with them then down to the tip with the bin liner full of guts and wop it into the skip. Well one day I was short of bin liners and only used one, you can guess the rest !!, but the ironic thing is that no one said a word when the guts of 100+ rabbits was accidentally deposited on the floor next to the rubbish skip, I just borrowed a shovel and shoveled it straight into the skip !!. Always double bagged after that !!.
