Default RE: Gutting rabbits...

Saw this in Outdoor Life years ago and tried it. They started with both hands around the rabbit under the front arms and squeezed working towards the butt till the guts were balled up . Then they swung the rabbit between their legs letting there forearms hit their legs and the sudden stop sent the guts flying out the butt. Worked for me but it was also very messy and since you had to cut it open later just seemed like a waste to me. I usually just gut them, twist the head off and pull the skin off as soon as I shoot them (being warm it peels right off). Usually takes a minute and the rabbit is all done.
