I agree with a lot of what's already been said...

1. I don't ever field dress them unless it's hot. Here in MO, by the time I get around to hunting rabbits, it's already winter, so it's plenty cold to keep them good until I get back to the house to clean. Might be different if I were going to haul them a long way.

2. My method for cleaning: (a) twist off the head; (b) grab the skin and just start pulling it off--it pulls off real easy, and pretty much anywhere you can grab a pinch-full of skin (like on the back) you can start pulling; (c) cut off the legs at the joints; (d) gut-hook it like a deer and clean out the innards; (e) quarter it up.

2a. One other thing to watch for--make sure you find all the pellets, if you were using a shotgun, and if there is a lot of blood in the meat around where a pellet lodged, you might just cut out that little scrap of meat.

3. My favorite part is the tenderloin, but the back legs are great too.

4. Roll in egg & milk, flour & cracker crumbs, then deep fry like chicken--YUM YUM YUM!
