Thread: Aging Rabbit

and here was I thinking there would be photo of crusty old slapper with penthouse bunny ears and fluffy tail on (and little else!!!) giving out easter eggs..
never aged rabbit or hare,other than when cant be stuffed processing on day of shooting so have done next morning.
head shooting hares...yeah nah.chest /shoulder with centrefire works just as good. back steaks n back wheels are where meat is so dont loose much.... lately I take back steaks for me and back wheels for dog...the hawks can have the rest.

I regularly go rabbiting at the parents place, gotten pretty lazy these days.
mostly I go for shoulder/chest the just take the back legs and "back steaks" since that's where a lot of the meat is. don't usually bother aging them, but I'll brine hare.

most key thing is to get them processed asap, especially if you clip the guts, dunno what it is, I'll deal with cow guts, pig shit doesn't worry me a bit but the stink from rabbits churns my guts, and when it gets into the meat I have to throw it out, just can't deal with it and nothing gets rid of it
