    Rabbit scent glands

    Got a favor done by mechanic in fairlie, gave him a rabbit, dressed etc.
    No can't have rabbit , last one they cooked stank house up.
    Didn't know about scent glands
    So just heads up to young players there's scent glands in arse area. I just cut a v notch when removing tail.
    Better tasting than chicken imo

    I gave a rabbit to my neighbour a few years ago. He said he was nauseated just from the cooking smell. It put him off rabbit for life. We put it down to scent glands. Can't say I've experienced it myself.

    Legend! Almost forgot out the scent gland, got shown how to cut it out when I was a young fella, haven’t eaten it In a good 15 years, need to lay into some! Bloody good eating

    On a side note, hope you’ve had some time to get out in fairle for a hunt, some good animals down there
