Bingo Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 I am fairly new to shooting and am going to need to start freezing rabbits (lamping trip later this week) - I have heard that you should gut them and then freeze them in their skins to prevent freezer burn - however not sure if my Mrs would be impressed by this ! Have any of you got any tips Much obliged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 I gut them, skin them, soak them in a heavy salt solution for a few hours, or overnight. Dry the rabbit and wrap it in bacofoil, then put it into a freezer bag. This helps stop freezer burn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p-a-s Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 to avoid freezer burn you shoud only freeze meat that is thoroughly dry to prevent ice forming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
