I have tried this method loads of times and on smaller rabbits it is quite easy but some bigger bucks it is tricky. Just remember it does not work with body shot rabbits as well :-) - I learnt the hard way.

ergh - can imagine in my mind what can only be described as a rudimentary ice-cream maker type affair with guts instead.

He does make it look easier than it is. I've tried a few times but always end up with broken ribs (rabbits, not mine) and a soggy shoe. I stick with the split and flick method.

So sorry mate. I really do not make it look easier ! It is how I do it.

I have learned dozens of people how to do it correct and they all manage great now.

Its a case of if you can do it...you can do it.

And if you can't you make a mess as you do it wrong.

It is easier to show people how to do this face to face so I can correct the grip and the pressure they apply.

It works fine but it has to become second nature to do it all the time,

Most common faults are :

Squeezing too hard, applying too much pressure. Its not really needed.

Leaving the rabbits un gutted for a time where the guts begin to expand and gas. ( Can be as little as 1 hour )

Starting to push in the wrong place with to much force.....you break ribs.

You do not squeeze the guts !...you squeeze above them....squeeze the guts and be too rough you will pop them !

Begin with small or half grown stuff until you get the hang of it.

AND remember..if it has a bullet hole in the guts ! Yes it is already burst so do not push gut these rabbits,

Its a knack that you can do if you know how to.

Like anything else......its easy as long as you know how to do it.

Thanks Steve
