a quick slideshow on prepping a cottontail in your kitchen. way easier than i thought
didn’t show up for me for some reason. dug the music though, thanks for that…
reload it a few times if needed. bowdrill on there too
this might make it easier.
in order to get the guts out i poked a blade just beneath the sternum and sliced down. most of it spilled out but i had to dig out the heart, lungs and other fun stuff. check the kidneys and liver for spots (tularemia). you can cook this out supposedly, i’ve never found a bunny with it but i don’t eat bunnies in the warmer months, yet.
i braised this one in red wine liberated from a restaraunt, cloves, garlic, onion and olive oil.
have fun
Sweetness!!! Thanks for the link. Great well taken photos.
Roadkill bunny!
I nabbed one on Saturday. It’s in TrollSplinter’s freezer.
Any tips on tanning rabbit hides? The rabbit was dead for at least 3 hours, probably longer.
rabbit hides are really thin and can rip. the hair tends to slip easily. don’t keep it wet too long.
