Stuu Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 hey mate, knife looks like a good little tool, however i prefer to use a hook blade for a stanley. approx £3 for 3. You can also buy a knife that is purpose made to hold one. (Im on 3G Modem so cant be bothered getting a link...lol) Ive been getting a few doe's this time of year, and you may find there carrying its young...... Anyway its about time you got some in the oven! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggyRS6 Posted June 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 Next on the learning curve is skinning them. The only thing that concerns me is chopping the head off. Do I need a big cleaver for that bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatingisbest Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 Next on the learning curve is skinning them. The only thing that concerns me is chopping the head off. Do I need a big cleaver for that bit? If you pinch the fur on the back, and cut it through, grab the flap that has been cut through and pull it, and the same for the other part of the fur, it will skin the rabbit very easily. once you are passed the neck and front feet, twist and break the neck, then a simple slice with the knife will behead it.

joekid Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 Thanks Pin. Nice one. I was actually ******* myself as I read this, cos as you were obviously working hard in Photoshop, I was too trying to figure out how to put a target on the bunnies heeeed. Cant work out how to make a Mildot jpeg tranparent That's a good looking sandy lop you have there, no need to shoot that one mate I'm proud to keep rabbits as well as use them for a food source, keeps mine on his toes anyway im glad to see you got it all back in, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark M Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 Couple or 12 of rabbit livers, fried for nothing more than 30 seconds a side with a shallot in olive oil on a high heat, well seasoned with pepper, out of the pan and deglaze with brandy, all that into the same processor and blend with a little breadcrumbs, double cream and a splash of port. Cook in a Bain Marie Tasted you won't be loosing the livers as readily Your not Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall by any chance Pin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyber Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 very good!! Im getting alot better at skinning/gutting them now. I normally leave them to gut and skin when I get home but lastnight when I was doing one, the guy that was helping skinned it 1st and then gutted it. Looked ALOT easier! I will try that tonight if the weather holds up as I will be properly trying out my new digital Night Vision!! hehe. CANT WAIT!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggyRS6 Posted June 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 I gutted them as soon as they were dead. Should have left thwem for a bit as they were a little bloody. What night vision did you get? I'm always on the lookout for a gadget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 If you headshoot (which I know you do) them, they would be the same bloody paunched right away, or left an hour. Or do you mean claret leaking out of the old bonce/ears? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSA Shaun Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 By the time I walked round the feild the Magpies had half eaten it. When I took the dog out, it was gone. Should have stuck around and popped them off too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggyRS6 Posted June 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 the magpies in the Orchard are untouchable. I can get them in my garden all day long, but in the orchard they are very triky to get. No the ears pin, just a bit bloody inside., not that bad though.

That's half the fun! Try larson trapping one in the garden and taking it with you maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
