The way I clean a rabbit is to grab the back legs step on the head and pull the head off. Now pinch the skin up in the middle of the back and pull both ways (toward the neck and toward the hind feet). Now when you havve all the skin off I slip the knife under the ribs by the sternum and cut to the neck. Then swing the rabbit by the back legs and most guts will go flying. Now it is just a matter of pulling the lungs and cutting through the pelvic bone with the knife and cleaning the last piece of gut out of that area. Put it in a bag until you are home and can wash it. I usually soak it in clean water for an hour or so and then either go to the fridge or freezer. Roll pieces in flour and seasoning and fry them up. Yummmmmm yum!!!!
