We were given 4 dressed and frozen rabbits yesterday so Now to decide what to do.

First one defrosted so it will be a Mustard and cream. May smoke two of them and a rabbit slow cook stew for the fourth.

What ever happens good times ahead. Cheers Robert

Love it, my Dad was a sharpshooter and we always had them for Sunday dinner if they were silly enough to stray into his sights.
All clean headshots, if he ever gut-shot a bunny we never saw it>
I did ONCE, I got a smack over the head and was told to go home, get a shovel, dig it up, and kill it properly.
After that, I was very careful of my aim.

That was how kids learned stuff years ago. Make a mistake, then do it properly.
These days it seems to be make a mistake then get an award for something.

When I was a little tacker my farmer uncle took us out spotlighting.
Dad was a fairly good marksman, so for a joke he was given a 12-gauge.
Not to be played the fool, he took out a bunny with it.

We found one ear.

When I was a little chap [1950] at school we used to go rabbiting with a stick, we caught enough bunnies to send the skins to the hatters [Akruba] at Kempsey. We earned enough that year to purchase a Film projector so we could have film nights once a month, if we were all good.

The other method is a block of butter in the gut cavity, sew it up and cook it on the spit over a wood fire. If we manged to clean one up on the motor bikes while touring, it barely hit the ground before it was skinned and gutted and camp was made early so it could be cooked up (no refrigeration on a motor bike ) If we had any vegies, they went in with the butter in the gut cavity. The butter gradually worked its way out of the carcass leaving roast vegies and the best tasting rabbit meat ever .... probably because we'd been thinking about eating it for the last few hrs
Why would you want to take the gamey taste out of the meat, that's what separates it from the hutch raised domestic rabbits the butchers sell that tastes like .... nothing really
