Shouldn't the title of this post be "undressing rabbits" ? OK, a little humor... very little... <img src=icon_smile_blush.gif border=0 align=middle>

My grandfather showed me a way to clean a rabbit that I have not seen another person do. He started squeezing at the chest and pushing as much of the insides down as possible. Holding the rabbit butt down and as tight as he could. He spread his legs and raised the rabbit above his head and with as much force as he could, he swung the rabbit down between his legs and out they came. I dont remember him making any type of cut before doing this. I have never tryed it myself but he loved to hunt rabbits and I have seen him do this.
Nothing ventured nothing gained.....
Good luck,

IMHO I think all wascally wabbits should be dressed in a combination of wool and fleece! After all it is cold out there. Camo should be out as they are hard enough to spot as is.
Maybe a suit for formally suppers could be allowed!!!!

A good tool to get is one of those gray Stanley Razor blade tools and get the refill with the carpet hook type knife blade. Makes light work of field dressing them.
