How To Skin A Rabbit

By deerstalker

Try this….one young rabbit shot cleanly behind the left ear with a .22 magnum.

Paunch your rabbit and remove each leg at the joint (a cleaver or secateurs would be fine for this).

Seperate the muscle covering the gut from the skin (it comes away quite easily)

Continue until you work your way round to the back.

Then pull the skin over the back legs as if taking off a sock

We'll attend to the tail later.

Pull the skin forwards and ease out each front leg in turn.

Pull the skin forwards exposing the neck.

Then sever the head or skin it if required.

Remove the tail, tail glands and the remains of any organs running through the hips

Wipe over with a hot damp cloth to remove traces of fur, wash and enjoy
