stubby Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 yup, seen it, tried it, not a lover of that method, as it removes liver, which is not waste, and sometimes pops the guts, tainting all the meat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barney 66 Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 tried it hard work I thought,takes quite a bit of squeezing to get them to pop,plus mate not very amused when he was kneeling a bit close doing them the traditional way and accidently spat them at him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooter Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 I use a slight variation of it all the time. I make a small cut at the lowest part of the abdomen between the back legs, then squeeze down. It takes a lot less pressure, and you can feel the stomach moving allowing you to seperate the liver leaving it inside the cavity. It is very good to use in warmer weather as it keeps the flies off the edible parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 All I do is cut from groin to sternum, hold the back legs in my right hand, the front legs in the left and then swing from left to right, releasing the front legs mid swing. Et voila, one gutted rabbit with liver etc in place within about 10 seconds, although you do sometimes have to remove the stomach seperately as it doesnt always fly out.

njc110381 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 I'll have to try the small cut method. I've tried pop gutting before and it does work, but I have very small hands and struggle to get enough force on them to burst it out. I can squeeze hard enough but the guts always find a way around my hands and end up back where they started! As cooter said, great for the summer because it keeps the flies out. And you don't have to deal with the smell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I've always partaken in the 'golf swing' action. Mind you, the guts wrapping around your wrist isn't always the nicest thing..!

NickB65 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Not an east method the "squeez"; easier on young or small rabbits but the larger adults take a lot of squeeze. I find it easier to just slit up the belly and "swing". Easier but in the hot weather you have to pack them away quick before the flies get to them.

DaveK Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 As I don't sell them on I cut from sternum to groin and fold it head to tail. The innards hang out so they can just be pulled. I tried the squeezing method and it wouldn't work for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2020PIGEON Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Little cut at the back end then sqeez works for me nice and clean to tried without a cut its hard work on adult bunnies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
