Rabbits

[Viper]

hey all,

im sorry for another one of these types of threads.. totally irrelevant to saxos, and totally relevant to shooting, etc

how long can you leave a rabbit for after shooting? before it is unsafe to be eaten? i.e hung up, so off the floor so rats and mice cant get at it.

cheers

[Leo]

ur a weirdo m8

[argylefan1985]

u have to skin it etc and everything first, should be left to hung for a day or 2 i belive

[Viper]

ur a weirdo m8

no im not.. at least ime ating what i shoot

u have to skin it etc and everything first, should be left to hung for a day or 2 i belive

cheers. i know it needs to be skinned :) my uncles coming round 2morow to help me with it.

ive got it hung up in the garage waiting :)

[craig180]

You using lead bullets or pellets????

[Viper]

12 bore :A: so would be lead shot

[craig180]

12 bore :A: so would be lead shot

Eat it now, quick, go, NOW!

[Viper]

lol, why you say that?

[Leo]

no what i mean by weird is yesterday you was saying how your mom feeds ya and you had to resort to going the sarnie shop as you cant cook. now your blowing rabbits heads off and eating them like rambo

[Steve]

sure you can leave them for a few days, dont have to skin it or out first, as hares are best eating after they have been hanging a few days :y:

[Viper]

aye.. im not cooking the rabbit.. my uncle is :)

edit, cheers steve :) it will have been hanging for 2 days. and its a rabbit, not a hare :) the hare legged it, rabbit didnt. lol

[jay]

if you slit its throat and drain the blood it'll be alright for a week, if you leave the blood in it'll start decomposing. :)

[Steve]

12 bore :A: so would be lead shot

the beauty of a 12, i still love my 410 pump action lol :homme:

[Viper]

not slit it yet. my uncle's doing all the eurgh bit for me. lol

wouldnt have thought it would decompose if rats etc cant get to it..

oh, and my uncle told me to hang it head down.. whys that?

edit: 410? you girl.. how old are you. lol

[Steve]

aye.. im not cooking the rabbit.. my uncle is :)

edit, cheers steve :) it will have been hanging for 2 days. and its a rabbit, not a hare :) the hare legged it, rabbit didnt. lol
lol, i dont shoot hares, don't know why think its cos there isnt many around and rarely see them. But hundreds and hundreds of bunnys! and the old pigeons :oops:

[Steve]

not slit it yet. my uncle's doing all the eurgh bit for me. lol

wouldnt have thought it would decompose if rats etc cant get to it..

oh, and my uncle told me to hang it head down.. whys that?

edit: 410? you girl.. how old are you. lol

sure its because the head is heavier, and you hang it so all the blood runs, i dont understand fully but in the past everything in my garage has been head down!

[Steve]

410 i have a 12 but 410 sometimes more sporting as harder to hit, less power less shot! and gets heavy pegging a 12 semi auto around for miles and miles after a while.

so when u cut its throat it will drain the blood quicker as its all at the head

[Viper]

yeah, i tend to see more hares than rabbits. lol, i was surprised when i saw this one :) was a good shot aswell :) fair distance way.. had to get another shot on it though, cos it was wriggling like a biatch, and there's no way i could break its neck :S

edit: if u find the 12 heavy.. then dont use a semi auto! the action in them is REALY heavy. at shoots, people dont like semi autos, as they cant tell if they're loaded ornot. get yourself an over and under :y:

oh, and what make/model is your gun?

Havn't been out shooting for 8 months now as got a little fishing boat and now do that as up my caravan most weekends well used to be and thats where my boat is

[Leo]

so whats rabbit taste like?

[Clouds_mate]

i came home for asda two nights ago and my mate was next door he said hi in a funny voice, looked and he had gutted a rabbit and had it on his hand as a pupit lol sick as

[Steve]

so whats rabbit taste like?

it is actually nice tbh, nicer than chicken :y: cant really describe it, get viper to cook you some :afro: and go round for tea

[Viper]

so whats rabbit taste like?

il let you know tomorrow

i came home for asda two nights ago and my mate was next door he said hi in a funny voice, looked and he had gutted a rabbit and had it on his hand as a pupit lol sick as

as you said, sick as! but funny as fook! did you get any pics of the rabbit puppet?

how did he get the rabbit?

[Clouds_mate]

he goes shooting down the backs. He normally guts them and cooks them. Nah no pictures. GF found it sick so didnt hang about for pics lol

[jay]

so whats rabbit taste like?

its nice ,

[Yates]

eat them raw, why the blood from your mouth after

[kenny]

your suppose to slit their throats and leave them hanging by their feet for a day to remove all the blood. skin them and then you can eat them

[bullit]

skin it and make a hand puppet out of it while watching it cook.

[Viper]

im a bit squeamish, but i will do my best :)

pics will be taken if i succeed :A:

[Chris_O]

lol this is weird i didnt expect anyone to shoot here! ive been shooting since i can remeber, and in fact i went rabbit shooting round my mates last wkend cos his mum wanted rid of them! shot 12 in total, and also u r supposed to gut them very soon after shooting them, when u r still out in the field! all of the ones i shot r now ready to be cooked for the dogs!lol i was using a .22 bolt action rifle by the way.

[Viper]

i realy want a .22! how hard was it for you to get your liscence? what questions did they ask?

PM me :) cheers

[Chris_O]

im pmin u now mate

[Steve]

i use a .22 browning semi-auto and .22 marlin under lever wild west style....
I never gut mine out in the field. I usually take mine to the butchers get like 10p each... something like that

[Leo]

well id deffo try it. i take it you remove the bullet lol? or is that like the wish bone on the chicken? "I found the bullet! I wish for...."

[Chris_O]

no u would never usualy remove the bullet it would be so hard! generly u wont even find it

[Chris_O]

well if its a shotgun u may occasionaly find a bit of shot but not that bad

[Steve]

off a rifle they normally go in and straight out, shotgun may find the odd pellet, when you skin it you can see the entry hole!

[Viper]

i can already see the entry holes :P and ive just thought.. i hope none of the shot perforated the gut........

and.. removal wise.. exactly as said above. i once ordered duck in the lake district, and found a lead shot. lol, glad to see it was fresh duck :y:

[Kelly]

you just killed thumper you sicko!

[Viper]

well hes thumping no more :y:

[Yates]

you just killed thumper you sicko!

bambi is next on the list

[Viper]

someone rep him for me :y:

i have seen bambi in the next field to ours.. but i doubt a 12 bore would touch it

[Yates]

often get bambi across the road, farmer stood on him once, fucker got away tho

[Viper]

erm.. the farmer stood on a deer? lol

[Kelly]

bambi is next on the list

aw no... shush! liar

[Yates]

yeah he was walkin thru the crops spraying them, big deer ran off and he heard a yelp, he was stood on its leg, it had stayed there tryin to keep still and unoticed, the crops were over waist height

[Kelly]

aw no wonder bambi can't walk :p lol

[Viper]

aww, poor thing. i bet he wished he had his gun with him. lol

[Yates]

nah he doesnt shoot them, dont do no harm

[Chris_O]

shooting a deer at a great distance with a big bore rifle e.g. .308, is also a thing i like to do!lol

[Viper]

fair enough. to be honest, i wouldnt touch the deer ive seen around. it's a realy lovely sight to see bouncing around in the field :)

my god that sounded gay. lol

[Chris_O]

yeh i like deer as well, but there are loads at this place where we shoot them, and the bloke wants some of them shot each year!

[Viper]

shooting a deer at a great distance with a big bore rifle e.g. .308, is also a thing i like to do!lol

what do you do with it after you've shot it?

[Yates]

theres loads across the road, small wood but had bout 20, but then theres loads of fields bout, wouldnt mind one

[MaRiO89]

I go shooting alot aswell, my dad used to be a gamekeeper so used to go lamping with the .22 bolt action rifle, also used a .243 for bigger game.. When i read the forst post i was like, your going to get soo much shit, but turns out loads of people do it too! lol.

[Chris_O]

my dads mate will either sell it to this butchers near us, or gut it, skin it, cut up the venison and just keep the keep the meat or give some away! occasionaly the bloke who wants them shot will want one as well. but yeh one of the deer we shot there won an award for the antlers it had!

[Chris_O]

[Chris_O]

i thought that as wel mate!

[Chris_O]

won the award when it was dead or alive?


after it had been shot, went to collect it and found out it was quite rare to find them like that, with above certain number of prongs or whatever ( dont ask me too much bout that not an expert lol) and it ended up being in the shooting times and winning this award!

ok, thats fair enough, as long as you use the meat :y:

[Chris_O]

yeh i couldnt not use the meat from a deer, if i killed a fox for example yeh nothing would be done!but then its a fox so thats fair enough!

[Chris_O]

[Viper]

[Steve]
