I will take pics tomorrow.
The doe is a californian and the buck is from a litter i raised a few years ago.
He is a brownish color.
He is halh Black New Zealand and half dark gray Rex.
These babies and black.
I will keep a doe out ot this litter. I will keep this buck for a while then replace him with a New Zealand buck.
I had a friend make a HOPPER POPPER for me.
I always held them by the back feet and used a thick wood dowel to the back of the head.
I have butchers quite a few rabbits, lots of deer, several cows.
I have been watching a few videos of butchering rabnits on yourtube.
Some people use a wood dowel or a steel rod, put the rabnit on the ground with the dowel or steel rod over their neck
Stand on the rod and pull op.on the back feet.
About the same an the hopper popper.
On one video they dipped the rabbit in water before skinning it .
Supose to keep hair off of the meat.
A couple of them suggested soaking the rabbit in water in the refridg over night to relax the musle whis is supose to make the meat more tender.
One of the guys placed the meat in ziploc bags and put then directly in the freezer.
I vacum seal everything that goes in our freezer.
I take a whole month off of work every year to go back to New York for a month of deer hunting.
We generally shoot from five to ten deer a year and butcher all of them.
Ladt year we shot nine deer.
I this when we have dead time this year we will cut deer up for other peope. The butcher shops are charging from $100 to $135.
Id like to cut up four or five deer a week.
