Dave-G Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) How long to keep dead rabbits out the chiller in the summer guys. I gut them as soon as they are lamped and hang them to cool off on a cooling rack slung to the spare wheel at the back of the car - as per the opening scene of my clip on the tube: I'm going on a shooting holiday soon and want to bring back as many as possible for my butcher. After initial cooling they will be put five or ten at a time into plastic bags. At two quid each - and desperate to stock up his freezer he'll be glad I've found somewhere that's not overshot.

Bewsher500 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 not long at all. I would invest in a cool box and lots of ice IMO, or one the boxes you can plug into the car. I have one that would probably take 30 rabbits at a time I sometimes shoot over two days and keep the rabbits from day 1 to go to the butcher with the rabbits from day 2 in one hit. They hang in a shed which has stone floor a very cool ambient temperature for a little less than 24 hrs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
