I did 5 in 5 hours, so I am getting faster. Rex rabbits apparently are harder to skin than regular furred breeds though. But they are sooooo much easier than chickens!<br />We still have as of yet to eat one. We have 6 in the freezer know, but my dad is freaked out at the thought of eating bunny, so we will have to make it into a really tempting dish : )<br />Kimberly An At Home Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15703109969618447107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7052400901145068314.post-13276605926969961512015-12-05T02:32:21.556-08:002015-12-05T02:32:21.556-08:00That's a huge accomplishment, well done!

I understand that rabbits are a whole lot easier to do than other small animals.

I'm sure it's a learning process and one you'll get better as you go. Look forward to reading how you will prepare it for the table. I'll bet they had rabbit as well as turkey at the original Thanksgiving. :-DKrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17822528453563683772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7052400901145068314.post-68502736586539166122015-11-21T09:30:05.497-08:002015-11-21T09:30:05.497-08:00Hi Kris~
I didn't weigh the meat, but my mom s...Hi Kris~<br />I didn't weigh the meat, but my mom said it was probably about 3 lbs. He was a small buck, so I was surprised that I got as much as I did from him.<br />It took me several hours to process from start to finish. Because I have never done this before. I have never processed any animals other than the scolding and plucking (I always volunteer to do that part) of chickens, ducks, and turkeys. I'm not good with a knife, so its a really big learning process. It was the skinning that took me so long.<br />The people on the Backyard Rabbit group can process many rabbits in an hour. So I know that I should get better in time. They say they are sooooooo much easier and faster to do than chickens.<br />The guts came out very easy, and they did not smell NEARLY as strong as when the poultry is being butchered. <br />KimberlyAn At Home Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15703109969618447107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7052400901145068314.post-80534549845804765122015-11-21T07:49:11.257-08:002015-11-21T07:49:11.257-08:00How much did the meat weigh from that one buck.

The Facebook group Backyard Meat Rabbits has a lot of recipes on there. Just search "recipe". A lot of people cook the meat, shred it and make tacos or enchiladas. You could probably also find some game meat cook books at the library. But really it sounds to me that rabbit can be used in any recipe that would call for chicken.<br /><br />I'm glad you are doing better! <br /><br />KimberlyAn At Home Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15703109969618447107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7052400901145068314.post-83031659790892691872015-11-18T06:52:03.337-08:002015-11-18T06:52:03.337-08:00Awww...

My husband rabbit hunts, and we a few in the freezer, and I am at a loss as to how to cook them. :)<br /><br />Thanks for sharing all the pics! Have a wonderful day!<br />Angel<br /><br />shycountrygal.blogspot.comAngelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03346909897634012653noreply@blogger.com
