Hi lads.
This might sound a silly question coming from me as ive shot rabbits by the thousands, over the years.
What i have found is if you gut the rabbit quite shortly after shooting by cutting its under side (belly) even if you go a little too deep with the knife you don't puncture the guts, however if you leave all the rabbits till the end of the night when the guts have swollen ( 15+ rabbits)you have to be real real careful as the slightest bit too deep with the knife and the guts are punctured.
When you are using the rifle and picking up shot rabbits you don't want to be gutting after every shot, on/off with gloves/guts getting on rifle.

What knife are you using, anyone used a roeing knife, ie them with the ball on the end, just wondered if theses might allow you to do all the gutting at the end of the night without busting the guts.

Any advise on the above please.
