Cool and dry is key. Go to your local library and get "The Game Butcher" by Darren Meates (no joke).

Avoid getting water on the meat directly as water seems to make the meat go off quicker.

I would love to have a go at popping off rabbits at range with a nicely setup rifle and bipod, but never had the opportunity. Everywhere I've shot rabbits, either the terrain hasn't been ideal or the...

If you do decide to get a bipod, check the 6” - 9” will give you enough height for all occasions, I feel the 9” - 13” height is a better all round option.

This is a "Horses for courses" situation depending on terrain, time of the day and technique. I use the Harris 13" model with notches. Yes the notches make a slight click but.... Bipods have...

Flies.....keep meat away from them and cool. Chilly bins is great idea. Couple of two litre bottles 80% filled with water,slightly squeezed then top put on and frozen gives you great slicker pad for...

Look up the gutless method of preparation. It's super clean and quick on a rabbit. It can also be applied to larger game animals. It may not suit you if shooting a large number of animals, but worth...

It depends on how many I shoot. If you are going to finish processing at home, get the guts out ASAP, otherwise the smell will put you off eating them, even more so with hares.

I have two, one on a .17HMR (Gen1) for rabbits and one on a Creedmore (Gen2 with OLED screen) for deer on private land. They are excellent. Advantages: 1/2 the weight of the Pulsar's While they...

I've hunted for a long time. I took me a while to use a telescopic sight on a regular basis. I grew up with open sights, and I felt that scopes were complicated and more likely to fog up or fail. ...

Assuming they aren't gut shot, "squeeze" gut them as you go. Grab the body behind the front legs and work your hand back squeezing as you go. When about halfway down the belly place it across your...
