do you get your rabbits from the night hang them up and then in the morning gut them and skin them or is this to long for the rabbit to be sat going off.
at what point do any of you do this with the nights catch?
anyone help

Gut the same night as caught, [if not to many] 1/2 dozen skin+prepare for fridge. If more than 6 , skin next day.[ Always] gut same night as caught. :yes:

You can hang rabbits with the guts in, i know people that do ,in a cool dry place for 2 days, it increases the flavour. Just like you can hang a pheasant , i know people that hang a pheasant for over a week ,i wouldn't eat it personally after a week , 2 days is enough. I skin and gut my rabbits the same night , much easier when warm, and some i leave with the fur on as it is a natural worming remedy.

[nighteyes]

i try and gut as i catch then straight in the rucksack makes it alot lighter then skin next day :good:

[lofti75]

guts out or it can stain the meat :yes: ,
plus not as smelly when you come to skin it when you get back

gut em same night, that way there lighter to carry and aint gotta worry about getting rid o' guts. . . . . it's intersteing that one post said they found it easier to skin em same night . I find it easier to skin em a day or two later. ah well personal preference
