a rabbits shin is very tender,so you can hold them by the back feet,pinch the skin close to the feet and pull.some times it comes off in large pieces other time small.just keep pulling till you get it all off.lay him on his back,slide your knife into the tissue in front of the back legs and split the cavity open and clean out.cut off head and feet.cut into small portions like a chicken.

if it is small and young,cook just like chicken.flour and fry.if old,par-broil till tender then fry and make gravy over it.

I am not a hunter I am a whitetail population reduction specialest

remember keep your back to the sun, your knife sharp, and your powder dry.
