Have You Ever Skinned a Rabbit?

Not meant as a rhetorical question; I'd really like answers. I was just
hearing that Elvis classic in my head, and I realized quite of a sudden
that yes, I had indeed skinned a rabbit.

I wonder what would happen if I offered a wilderness survival workshop
at Starwood. And then brought out the cage full of white rabbits for
everybody to practice on.

The sad thing is I'd have to get back in practice first, to make sure I
didn't lose face by puking in the middle of my how-to. It's been a long
time.

So, have you ever skinned a rabbit?

Wellllll.....
If there is more than one way to skin a cat, there must be more than one way
to skin a rabbit.
IMHO I'd rather skin a 'wet t-shirted buxom brat' ...but presently that is
not an option'....it's more like the gerat plains...
But I digress...
It doesn't get to 'puke projection time' until you get to the 'degutting
procedure' and believe me..I would really project if someone gutted me!
But anyway... Isn't frop supposed to be an anti-nauseant?

Please..
an answer is awaited from the truely experienced!

HAW HAW, that's killer! It should be tacked in next to the Glossary, in
the Vital Forms section.
The only problem I see with it is that Stang has no "spare cash" for a
staffer to collate these, devise a report with a statistical table and
then blow the heads off the top 5 "winners." Tsk tsk, it coulda been
great.

I'll answer that because the answer is weird.

Twice I've had to deal with clearing out some REALLY REALLY GROSS DEAD
ROTTED ANIMALS. One was a big rat that had been underneath a stove in a
rarely used house-trailer for a couple of weeks and had turned into a
near-liquid with THAT SMELL. The other time was a squirrel stuck to an
electric fence, and man was it scary looking. I did both clean-up jobs
while tripping because for some reason the realness DIDN'T bum me out
but seemed "natural." I would NOT recommend that to ANYONE else
however.

I've dealt with torn-open human beings and really spazzed-out ones
several times but I didn't have time for any acid to come one before I
had to deal with those. One was a little kid whose arm was compoundedly
fractured and was swinging like a clock pendulum from a joint that had
not been there before the "kung fu" the kid tried.

If you're going to eat the road kill, you really need to know how to
locate the gal bladder and make sure it hasn't spread its poison all
through the meat because that shit will fuck you up good.

Personally I prefer my meat prepped already and wrapped in celophane at
the supermarket. Less'n it's a prairie squid, NEEDLESS TO SAY!!

I'm not counting the dozen or so dead dogs and cats I've dragged off of
roadways or kissed goodbye to at the vet's. That got to be just normal
after so many years.

I will vouchsafe that I have never actually CAUGHT a rabbit. I have
dispatched them but I didn't do the catching. My dad used to hunt and
he also raised them. We ate them but I never liked it much. Too much
like cat.

< rarely used house-trailer for a couple of weeks and had turned into a

My place of employment, being on the banks of a river, is frequented by
mice & rats.

This fall, the strong oder of dead animal was in our closet. After
moving lots of crap, I found the offending animal. The trap "got him"
but didn't kill him right off, so he managed to scurry behind some
stuff (dragging the trap with him) until he finally demised. By this
time he was not only rip, he litterly exploded. I went out to the shop
to get some old gloves. The guys were saying "we got news ones over
there" Once I told them why I wanted old pairs, they seem to
understand. No use wasting brand new work gloves on a that. He was so
ripe, that his "gut juices" actually "burned" through the floor wax and
left marks on the tile floor!

In college, I worked at the lcoal mall as a night security guard. One
morning, the manager told be there was a big trash bag in teh parking
lot, and would I take the mall's truck and pick it up? Well teh bag was
left there by some asshole who just cleaned a deer. It was seriously
ripe.

When I wen to Ft. Hood, one of the latrins on my floor of the barracka
was closed and locked. While the Battalion was over in Germany for 45
days on a REFORGER, one of th guys who was left behind pending Court
Marshal Hung humslef in it. He perkualted int eh hot Central texas air
for about 3 weeks before the smell tiped off the rear party. Well, he
had completely burst open by then. And despite using everything form
Steam cleaning to sealants, they were never able to get rid of that
stench. SO they closed it off until they could get the Post to come in
and completely strip out the tiles and put new ones in.

correction. The line is "CAUGHT" a rabbit. Hound dogs have rarely been able
to skin rabbits properly, I have found. They tend to tear it up pretty well.

He wasn't talking about "Hound Dog," but about one of the less-known
verses of "Love Me Tender" that was edited from the single.

The "Director's Cut," all fifteen minutes of it, is on the album "The
Unexpurgated Elvis," available from Rhino Records. Don't listen on a

Yeah I remembered. I never caught one, that's one reason I said
skinned. That and my odd memory.

I haven't, but my wife used to have to help her grampaw do it when she
was a girl. She stopped after one time when she noticed their hearts
were still beating. Apparently grampaw was too much of a softie to kill
them first.

They keep beating even after you wring their little necks. STOUT little
bastards. I remember my dad showing me how the damn heart was still
twitching after the rabbit had had its neck snapped and been laid open.
It'd probably be much the same with your heart or mine under similar
circumstances.

The niece doing the survey -- She was raised on the Stang cattle ranch.
(Unlike me; that ranch stuff started after I'd left home.) But she
became a vegetarian the day they brought the first pieces of "Tap-Tap"
to the table.

I think every meat eater should skin an animal at least once, and
that's not just some divisive anti-meat-eating finger-wagging. I
think it helps one to make an informed decision about being
a meat eater or not.

I've skinned muskrats, raccoons (and turned one's skin inside out to
use as a fleshy hand puppet), squirrels, rabbits, pheasants, ducks,
a Canadian goose, ruffed grouse, opossums, helped at skinning a deer,
and I enjoy a good steak with braised mushrooms and onions, russet
potatoes, and steamed green beans as often as possible.

I agree with this post. (Even better is working (however briefly) at a
slaughterhouse. I have. Nuff said.)

I've just started working with leather, coincidently. Bought a 20 sq foot
cowhide for use in the pipe organ. There doesn't exist a man-made substance
that has the utility and durability of leather. Tanned animal skins are
uniquely valuable.

Killing, cleaning, skinning and using/consuming/benefiting from an animal is
actually a process that helps complete the "circle of life" connects one
with the 3-space we inhabit.

(can't believe I used "circle of life" in a serious context.)

That's why/how I got to get real with this - I had a (great) dog and a
job requiring leaving Tamborine Mountain just after dawn - got sick of
passing freshly dead wallabys And paying for crappy con dogFood...

I just approched it like dissection...

I got the skins - Dogg ate the rest - now I just wish I'd claimed the
bones - a kangeroo/wallaby pelvis is an INCREDIBLE work of art - unChanged!

Ah, the most HONEST kind of artist. The kind that doesn't give one jot
nor tittle about an audience for his art.

well if you have never heard a rabbit scream, you should definitely
get in practice for that. Rabbits have the creepiest scream in the
world.

I just wrote a whole essay about that and coyote hunting -- a coyote
call sounds like a rabbit screaming -- but the god damn program LOST it
somehow in the queuing or some such shit. Fuck nab it. The bunny's and
coyote's revenge on me. Oh well it's just as well, it was just vain
bragging in disguise as ranch life anecdotes. But gross. I AIN'T doing
it again, I gotta get to the post office.

Probably a dozen or so back in my hunting days, when I used to hang out with
my redneck brother in law. A few squirrels and a couple deer to boot. I
found it somewhat fascinating, but still disgusting, how easy it is to gut a
deer.

I saw some on TV.
The most famous scene in "Roger & Me", by Michael Moore, was some woman
who skinned a rabbit in front of the camera. It took less than a
minute. She just bashed the critter over the head with what looked like
a small propane tank, whipped out her Ginzu and wham: Easter Wabbit
stew!
I think there was a scene in "Angel Heart" where a Cajun skinned a
'possum, too. Looked about as much fun as sticking your hand up a cow's
arse.

Nope. But I, being super microscope kid, did sneak outside afterwards and
snip off some tiny bits for later.

Believe me, that's pretty much the most times you CAN skin a muskrat.

You know, most of these animals you don't have to skin. That's just
wasted effort. Alls you do is put them under the back wheel of your
truck, move ahead slowly, and they pop right out.

The Candadians seemed especially fond of marmots!
http://www.marmots.org/

And not so fond of scotch broom
Scotch Broom - Cytisus scoparius, is a sad story for BC.
It's an invasive shrub that was introduced
to Vancouver Island in 1850.

One of the things that is great about the NW coast beaches
is driftwood. The beaches here have just about no driftwood.
Some Oregon beaches, people have built houses out of driftwood.

Bring spices and you can BBQ them afterwards.

Just puke INTO the rabbit. Some Bobbie will eat it. And then he'll
start a church about it.

> So, have you ever skinned a rabbit?

Skinned a pig once. Back in 98. And I recently removed the wax paper
from a meatball hero. Does that count?
