pegandgun 51 Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Not gutting them until the morning isnt advised but wouldnt make em taste bad unless left for too long(gut out in the field).Where were they over night,somewhere warm? Where did you get em,that could be a facter Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest JAGDWERKS Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 I rabbit hunt here in the states...When we kill a rabbit,we "imeadatly" gut them and put them on ice.We de-hide them when we get home and soak them in water&vinegar over night.The next day we quarter the rabbit into pieces and if we fry them...i season the pieces real good,and roll them in flour and fry untill golden brown! If it is abig rabbit...i "pressure cook" it for about 10-15 min...then i take the pieces and roll them in flour and fry untill golden brown.If i make a stew...I season the rabbit pieces real well and put them in a "crock-pot" with chunks of veggies with some water&red wine and simmer on med.low...untill meat is falling off the bone! Mmmmm-mm! Be sure have the misses to make some fresh biscuts for you! lol! JAGDWERKS Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rob reynolds uk 3 Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 up to a 1/2 grown rabbit you can make a stew ,just chuck it all in even the ribs if you want ,as the bones will float to the top on the young ones ,on a fully grown one the bones will sink which means spitting bones out ,1/2 to a 3/4 grown ones are best fryed ,fully grown ones are best roasted ,hares ..now we are talking nice meat ..have you tryed it curryed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JAGDWERKS Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 What's the recipie for the "curried rabbit"??? JAGDWERKS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eggy 0 Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Bulsmilk: If the're shot in the belly, the gut-contents, and gut-bugs will spead inside and very quickly spoil the meat defenetly overnight Did you remove the anal glands (2 grey pea-sized organs lying inside the body at the base of the tail when pulled) The rabbit will taste & smell foul if left on the rabbit during cooking. Also could be a burst gal-bladder, meat will taste foul if it gets bile on. Snared rabbits (left overnight on the wire) always taste OK Cheers Eggy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Eggy 0 Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Maybe just a dodgy bunny I give mine whole rabbits, raw, uncooked -the gut, but with the fur (roughage). Very good& healthy (BARF) and unlike cooked bones (dangerous!!) everything is digested without a problem. The only thing I do is freeze 'em for a while to kill any parasites (tapeworm-cysts).

strixaluco 0 Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Ive found that the taste of a rabbit depends on where and what they have been feeding on .Ive found in a harsh winter when they are chewing bark etc they taste really strong and have dark coloured fat inside them and in spring/summer they taste a lot differant cos they are feeding on young shoots and grass.
