a friend of mine told me he rather gut 5 deer than 1 rabbit, so i figured there had to be an easier way to skin one. here is what i found from a book from like 1976:

1) grab the rabbit at the bottom of the ribs and squeeze all the guts toward the anus. the body will be like 2x the normal size

2) stand with your legs spread shoulder width and hold the rabbit above your head with the head facing foward and right side up.

3) swing the rabbit as hard as you can downward until your arms hit your thighs and the guts will shoot out of the rear end. now, you have a field dressed rabbit

the pictures of this process are absolutely hillarious. just figured i would let u guys in on a secret. wonder if my brother will let me practice on his pet rabbit? gotta go.
