Yorkshire Pudding Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Turn the rabbit bellyside up and cut through the skin , you can then tip it's guts out . An also make a very pretty rabbit "puppet" It's dead good an right realistic !! all the best yis yp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerico Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Remove the ammo, chuck it in a vivarium, wait a few days and the snake will produce lovely rabbit sausages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuu Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 I use a 'hook' stanley blade down its stomach and then pull the guts out by hand. Surgical gloves are a big help.....but i find this is by far the quickest method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weave Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 personally i find that opening up the stomach with a sharp (razor sharp) blade is best. then get the front legs in one hand and the back legs in the other and flick them out stomach first, then just pull on them and they will away out easily.

Peter_HMR Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 pinch the fur around the stomack and make a nick then rip right arond his mid section pull the two halfs of skin off pull his legs out and chop off head and legs below "elbow/knee" then just cut the belly carefully and spill the guts out.

malkiserow Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 No one has mentioned paunching the bunny first hold the bunnies front legs ad hold it between your closed legs run yor thunb down the under bellie this will push all the wee out then drop the guts out do this straight away and it dont have that horable smell I have been keen on paunching quickly within the hour but now taken on Winchesters idea of immediate paunching ... also reduces the weight with carrying the bag.

Ice Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 THE best way is to go out with someone who knows what they are doing. Observe, learn, practice. LB Thats a stupid answer!!!!! What if he doesnt have anyone who knows how to do it, to go shooting with, what is he going to do then? not go at all........ everyone has to learn somewhere and some are not as fortunate as others by having experienced people to go with!!

stubby Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 if your gutting a lot of rabbits, this is the quickest method, even quicker if theres two of you, lay rabbit on back, put a foot on his front legs, holding them down firmly, cut a nick in the fur rib cage area, place 1st finger in the hole and pull towards the back legs, then of course, pick rabbit up, bend him backwards and with a flick, put most of the guts down a freshly dug hole, two fingers in around the stomach, pulls that out, job complete, its ok throwing the guts in a bush when your doing one or two, but 30/40 rabbits, I think its better to bury, in case the landowner gets pee'd off with the amount of flies, as "charlie" wont eat that amount in one night, if theres two of you, one puts the knife cut in and pulls down, then puts the rabbits in a pile, for the second person to be the guts flinger, can do 30/40 rabbits in as little as 10 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
