Advice on gutting rabbits.

[luckymjr]

Hi Dave.

There Is more than one way to get the meat off a rabbit. The method I use Is one that I saw on a video a few years ago. The method Is to remove the meat from the top of the rabbit. Therefore not touching the gut cavity at all.

I've sent you a link via message to a video showing this method,

Thanks to every one that posted on this.

Should have said on my opening post ----------if i am shooting and removing the rabbits instead of throwing them in the edge they are going to either a game dealer or butcher, although two that i have supplied over the years have stopped trading just leaving one butcher ATM ------so they have to be still in their fur

Most of you agree that you need to gut them ASAP before the guts swell then there is no fancy knife needed -----and this is what i'll do from now on.
I have tried the push gut method but seem to struggle to exert enough pressure

I pull the fur up away from the gut. Just below the rib cage and make a small incision a then with two fingers pull down to expose the guts.
Not a fan of the push gut method as it causes too much merriment from my mate!
Now squirrels are another chapter.
