shotgun_tommy Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 i recently saw a guy on YOUTUBE squeezing the guts from a rabbit does anyone do this or would it damage the meat? jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stubby Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 (edited) Ive seen it, and tried it, but wouldent do it as a regular thing, its ok if you have gone out and forgotten your knife, but only as a last resort, I found unless you had a tight grip like superman, then 9 times outta 10, the $hite bag bursts from squeezing, ok, for one rabbits, but if your doing 20 plus....yuck, heres how we do it.

Billy. Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 I prefer the 'flick' Open up the belly and hold the head in one hand and the back legs in another. Swing downwards with some oomph and the guts will all come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smig Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 I use both ways - one of the benefits of paunching (squeezing)is that there isn't an opening for the flies etc. to get to; I mainly use this in the warmer weather and gutting them when its colder and flies aren't a problem. I agree about the superman grip but I lay them across my knee for the final squeeze and its a lot easier G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Mongrel- Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 I dont even gut, there is no need...... hang by back leags skin down to head and take off meat Does the meat not get tainted in due course, how long between despatch and skinning can it be left?

OK, I've tried this, but to no avail Any chance you can you do a step by step, please? It's just so damned quick (and clean) I can't make out how you're grasping the chest/abdomen to be able to pull the innards in one go. Mine just ended up a right bloody mess.

Frenchieboy Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 I prefer the 'flick' Open up the belly and hold the head in one hand and the back legs in another. Swing downwards with some oomph and the guts will all come out. That's what I do! If done properly you can gut each rabbit in well under 10 seconds and have much less weight to carry around!

Magwitch Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 I regularly shoot between 30 and a 100 rabbits a night and as shown in the video gutting rabbits in less than 4 secs is ideal. P.S..........I bet that fella in the video is a handsome brute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stubby Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 OK, I've tried this, but to no avail Any chance you can you do a step by step, please? ok, kneel down, place one foot on head of rabbit, now pull the fur on chest area down towards tail, so its nice a taunt, with other hand holding "sharp" knife, make a slit/cut across the fur, grab hold of fur/skin and rip downwards, all your removing is fur and belly skin, so its quite easy to tear, hold rabbit up, two fingers around stomach and pull out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 All ours go to game dealers,so are gutted immediately.Quick squeeze to empty bladder,pinch skin at sternum,nick skin,in with blade(gut hook is easier)straight down,two fingers up under liver and pull down and out.Takes longer to type it than it does to do it!Very quick.Mate was very good at the 'flick' technique,but once saw someone string themselves with intestines while trying it!

Bleeh Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 (edited) Pop gutting is not suitable if the rabbit will be used for human consumption. However it is useful for getting the guts out of a rabbit quickly when using dead rabbits as bait, or animal food.
