- Over the past few years so many people have asked for a more in depth video of our rabbit butchery method especially the "Bop and Bleed' method. There's more than one way to skin a rabbit but when it comes to taste the bop and bleed is far superior. Thanks for watching and if you have any questions feel free to contact us. Be sure to checkout our website omnivoresquivers.com to see all of Allison's recipes and spice mixes.

It would really bug the heck out of me if I took the trouble to put a video like this together, and a bunch of people showed up to complain about how they personally view rabbits as pets and don't like the idea of killing and eating them. So I applaud you all the more for doing this work, and thank you for it. You're providing an educational opportunity that isn't easy to come by anymore.
Are u crazy? Do u see how she killed it? Anyone who just butchers an animal is gross.
I have nothing against farming and butchering animals yourself, she just did a bad job killing it. I feel like it's not really educational since it could be done more humanely.
@Holly Brindley how do you think we get meat for food?
There are better ways to dispatch the animals tho.
Our family used to just snap their necks
@@hollybrindley9823 so the people who butcher the animals whose meat end up at the supermarket are evil? Unless you are a vegan you are a complete hypocrite. Every country has animals they think are off-limits. Certain countries with judge you like hell for eating cow. Get over yourself.
Why rabbit though? If were talking ease of butcher, genuinely curious why rabbit over chicken?
I'm sitting here with my pet rabbit letting him watch this, so he knows how good he has it and how everything can just change overnight for him
😂😂😂😂😂
That’s a good lesson. I bet your rabbit is very well behaved.
He shits in ya raisins when you’re not looking. 😂😂
😂😂😂😂
People are saying horrible things but they go buy meat and eat it from the store. Do they not understand how animals are killed. Thanks for the video, it helped us. Ready to go butcher some rabbits today. Ignore all the people that are writing bad comments. You're doing a great job !
This video is underrated. Not much theatrics, just pure information you can use over and over. thank you very much!
Some people are shocked to know an animal dies if we want to eat meat. Thanks for sharing your process. A lot of meat on that rabbit.
This video was very helpful. I butchered 7 tonight with half the time using this method
One of the best butcher and cleaning videos I’ve seen so far. While I do think the stunning part was a bit sloppy, I understand why you have to bleed them out, or their meat would be gross and go to waste. I myself take care of rabbits, but even though I don’t eat them, I really respect the natural way homestead meat is produced.
For those that think this is bad go to a big slaughter house and see how your beef is ďone
Totally agree!!
@@peterchristensen2528 i am veg so that counters won't work on me assholes
@@horrorandrogamer2134 Dont be a dick!!!
You all are doing great don’t let these comments get to you people don’t understand
This is truly one of the best videos on TH-cam I have seen! Right to the point thank you so much for all the valuable information! I have considered eating rabbit more often and I figured I should learn how to properly butcher them.
For those of you in the comments who don’t know what their talking about. I hunted some rabbits with a 22 rifle and we had shot one in the head and half of his head came off, unfortunately the rabbit was still alive and was breathing really heavy so we tried using a sharp knife to quickly kill it and it squirmed when we tried and ended up putting another bullet in it. What she did here was actually the most humane way of putting the lights out on any animal and that’s a proven fact
I’ve struggled with the same issue in the past. It was sad.
Rather than hire a hit man to kill my meat... I am in the process of learning how to provide my own. I want to consume less commercially grown meat. So far I have processed quail. I will soon do rabbits. Thank you for showing how you do yours.
Agreed, 100%
The bop is my least favorite part too.. but if you're going to eat meat, you gotta do what you gotta do. Seemed quick. Just try not to think of them as pets. ("If you're sitting there with your pet rabbit and you clicked on [this video], you're an idiot." Lol)
Great video! I like to see how different everyone butchers game and livestock. Y'all process alot like we do.
It’s amazing how many people think this is barbaric. You should tour a Tyson pork plant and you will think this backyard method looks like the most humane method ever in comparison.
Some people are f***** up b****** bc they are so sensitive they should get a life
I've had venison from deer killed with bows, guns, and a pickup truck and I never noticed a difference.
You must have a great way to cook it. 👍🏼
@@maribelmeza4494 maybe that's it. I don't have a good way to cook it so it doesn't matter how it died, lol.
What a great video and couple. Simple, down to earth and explanatory.
Thanks for making the video! 😊
To many have forgotten, that it wasn't that long ago, when everyone, all over rthe world, did this to survive.
Better to teach someone how to fish than to give them a fish! 😁
Please keep up the videos! 😊
Nice tutorial! My family is planning to set up a rabbit farm. This should be very helpful!
Great video. Thank you so much for the full documentation, especially the dirty stuff. For a beginner this exactly what I and others need.
There is so much hate on here, this is how you harvest meat. This is cleaner for the environment, the body, and much more humane then buying meat at a grocery store.
She doesn't hate animals, she's raising them and feeding her family. We should all be so lucky.
well said.
Thanks for the educational video!
I’m trying to convince my mom to let me raise rabbits to butcher. :)
I've bopped and bled fish and we do bop to kill rather than stun, so this is different. My auntie bleeds chickens so it's nice to see your method is similar. I agree cervical dislocation isn't all that great when you eventually cook them. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for this video! Very informative! I’m planning on going hunting for rabbit and was wondering on how to clean them!
Great job! The lady means business. Love it.
Don't listen to the hate. All the people complaining don't understand. Keep up the good work.
I’ve raise meat rabbits and have for over 10 years and I do agree with these comments. I don’t think you did that quite right; there are more painless dispatch methods. When I was younger my dad did the “club” method, he said you are supposed to hit them hard enough to shader the scull and send fragments into the brain so that it acts the same as a bullet, not just a stun. He never had rabbits kick like this one. The other option is a BB gun (what I use now) relatively cheep and assured to be painless and quick.
The bludgeon method can be used to kill or stun, fish prep is the same way in that sense. Her way is very neat for meat prep, but could be faster, this is true
When you on a hunt... You don't want to waste your money on some bullet just catch/trap and kill on the site
Working up to process my first rabbit/animal. Thanks for your information. Hopefully I get it right the first time
This was super informative and detailed. My wife and I are doing our research on meat rabbits for a small homestead and this was super helpful.
I would recommend using a different method than this one. It’s not very effective, and it causes more emotional stress for the rabbit
Well done. Great tutorial. Appreciate your attention to details.
Just to pile on… Your what makes our country great- thanks for the lesson
Thank you. Very informative. I’ve been thinking of breeding rabbit meat, but need the skills to butcher.
Thank you so much for this video! I just used it to butcher my first rabbit. It was very helpful!!
evil.
Keep living the way you are. There is great value in knowing where your food comes from. Hunter and trapper here.
Curious what you use to flesh, I assume the skin is pretty thin, I’m thinking similar to a possum. Would like to see your process also your tanning process. Are you doing a chemical tan or a brain tan.
You guys do a great job on your productions. Never done it but feel certain I could after watching this. : )
Freedom at it's best. Thank you for teaching us how to butcher the rabbit!
I want to start a barn one day with a farm.
I like your method. We homestead too but raising rabbits for meat this coming weekend will be my first time butchering rabbits. I'm getting nervous already. I've helped with chicken and turkey before but I was never the one to actually end their life. We made this decision to be more self sufficient for the good of our family but I've never taken life, only had to deal with what was left. How do I not get nervous when the time comes?
The nerves will come and go - you'll get through this with courage. A shot of whiskey might help tho lol
What is that big, banana tree looking plant you have growing in the background? The browned plant. Thank you,
It’s a banana tree. We have a ton here.
Those dang one day frosts we have lol
Thats pretty much how I learned to do it when I was a boy, an I raised them for food an money, but I grew up in So. Fla an it was the only thing I could do back then to make money, but we were way out in the swamp, this was in the early 60's, thx for the vid
So you brine for 3 days before you remove the meat from the body, what are you using as a brine?
Thank you for the video. Do you plan to make a video on how you make your soap? :)
I always use cervical dislocation but I soak the meat in water overnight and it draws the blood out, I’m just to nervous to use the wack and cut method
Snapping the neck seems the most humane to me, I don't get the bleeding out thing because it should taste the same regardless, but that's up to preference. Letting it bleed out while still alive just seems unnecessarily cruel to me.
From Canada and started a couple months ago with my rabbits. Curious on how to tan the hides for making coats and toques
Thanks for teaching us such a good way to butcher rabbits, all done in a natural clean way. Thank you very much!
Thanks for your video. It was very detailed which help a lot. I just dispatched my first rabbit thanks to your video. What would help though is if you can let us know what to immediately do with the hide in preparation for keeping it for tanning later. I have found a video yet that tell you what to immediately do with the hide if you want to keep it. Also is it possible to give us you recipe for the brine you soak your rabbits in for the 2 days please.
Thanks again. From Sydney Australia 😊🇦🇺
That’s what I was wondering, too. What does the brine consist of and what the process is. I’m gonna go to their channel, to see if they have it.
@@maribelmeza4494 hi there Maribel. There are videos from others on brine but there was one I came across that was completely different. It got me thinking after I seen Gordon Ramsey hunted and cooked a rabbit with he’s son. No brine or waiting. He just cooked it after it was cleaned. But I also found another video we’re they clean the rabbit and let it sit in the fridge for a couple of days to rest. So I tried it and then roast my rabbit like I would a chicken. It was bloody beautiful and tasted exactly like roast chicken. It melted in the mouth and it was un older rabbit.

I don’t normally comment on videos, but this comment section is legitimately cracking me up. I have been vegetarian for over 30 years and vegan (I guess I should say plant based. I have trouble keeping up with the lingo.) for 15 years. I’m planning to start incorporating meat back into my diet. I still can’t bring myself to eat the trash that they sell in stores. I plan to start raising rabbit and turkey. Also, plan to go deer hunting for the first time in 30 years. I came here to learn about the process. Sorry for the life story, I just wanted people to know where I’m coming from before I get to my point…
ALL OF YOU BLEEDING HEART PANSIES HAVE DRIVEN SOMEONE WHO HASN’T EATEN MEAT SINCE THE FIRST BUSH WAS PRESIDENT TO START KILLING MY OWN! I DON’T EVEN REALLY WANT MEAT. I’M JUST FED UP WITH BEING ASSOCIATED WITH YOU PSYCHOS.
I hope I’ve in some way contributed to your ongoing trauma.
bravo
👏👏
My daughter is vegan (she was brainwashed at the University of Texas), BUT she will eat the eggs that our chickens produce and she will eat the rabbit meat we give her.
How is that possible? Is she truly vegan?
Well, she only opposes and is protesting the way animals are treated at inhuman farms that don’t let the chickens out of their cages. She knows our chickens are taken care of very well.
Also, she knows that the rabbit meat is more sustainable and better for the environment - even the rabbit pellets are beneficial to growing plants because they are used as fertilizer. She also opposes the way animals are slaughtered by big business. We don’t process our meat that way.
This video makes me feel like a caveman because I normally do most of this in the woods with just my hands as my hounds are lapping up the blood and gore lol. This was much more pleasant to watch and I bet they eat really good bleeding them like that. very cool.
Really informative, thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Thanks for the info about bop and bleed vs. breaking neck. We are just getting into meat rabbits. Very informative video!
Also! Should rabbits have been fasting before butchering?
Their intestines and bladder will be less full if you do, so they're less likely to rupture. It might also help stun them, but it's not like fasting is comfortable, so it might not be more humane.
@@hunszaszist people don't care. Seems like he just cares about meat. Horrible human.
How is the Brine prepared? My wife and I just started rabbits and we are looking for any ideas we can get. Love your channel and ease of information.
Don’t butcher the way these two idiots do lol. Butcher all you want, but this is not how you do it
I was wondering the same thing. How to make the brine and what the process is.
my brine is available here: www.omnivoresquivers.com/all-products/omnivores-brine-pack
Does the other method I've seen where you push under the neck while wringing it, breaking the neck. not work as well due to the bleeding youre going to do?
How do you keep the knife so sharp.
That was very informative, excellent
do you have to age the meat after you clean it
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Much appreciated. Kind regards to the both of you from tiny little Belgium
If this works for you is fine; however, the hopper popper or broomstick method is quicker and you have less room for error. Just my two cents.
Thank you! It’s was so informative and has solidified our decision on adding rabbits to our future homestead
Thank you. I appreciate you sharing this. Could you put a video in how to do the brine please ?
You can find the brine here: www.omnivoresquivers.com/all-products/omnivores-brine-pack
I’ll be doing a full video once I have rabbits ready to be butchered again.
Thank you so much
@@OmnivoresHomesteadAndQuivers
Hi there , I just purchased the brine and a seasoning. Can’t wait to try. I’ll be processing the rabbits next week. Have you made the video yet ? Thank you !
This is an exceptional video. Thank you for posting it.
Ya'll knew this was a dispatching video before you watched it, this is for people raising their own meat. Do you eat chicken in the store? Someone somewhere did the same so you could eat
It’s the way she dispatched it though
I'm raising, dispatching, and butchering my own meat. Target audience for a video like this. The way in which she dispatched this animal was tortuous and disrespectful. It should not be shared as the "right way"
Your videos are cool! I don't know why so many people are here complaining
What do you brine your meat in during the three days before your quarter out your meat?
Here’s my brine:
www.omnivoresquivers.com/all-products/omnivores-brine-pack
Great video ! Very clear instructions, great cues !! Thank you! Butchering will be easier for me!!
Break it's skull at least. Dont do like she did
In germany we use the "Kanickelfangschlag" (use your hand to hit the rabbit behind the head).
That's how I've done it to. Hold it upside down by back feet he pokes his head out and Wack.
This was exactly what I've been looking for. I appreciate all the talking! You left nothing out!! Thank you!
I make soap, in CA, my daughter started raising rabbits in SC. Here on your channel for the fat rendering, which I saw. This part's not so fun, but important and it is what it is. I love that your man is commenting and looking away while filming lol. I'm not sure I could do this, but I appreciate that it has to be done and there are people who will. Now....where's the soap video? And yes, soap calc has rabbit fat! Waiting for my rabbit fat shipment from SC lol.
Question was the rabbit liver good? What is it like compared to a beef liver
I’m a vegetarian but I will say this was very humane. Thank you for taking care of them and providing an honorable dispatch.
Nah I severe his head with a cleaver. And then skin the rabbit.
They’re Not comfortable in this video. The woman clearly doesn’t try to comfort them when they’re about to die and they most definitely feel some pain
If anyone gives you slowly or sudden death, then it is ok. Is it humanity? What a types of care
You call this humane? If yes, you are a psycho just like her. These rabbits, they are suffering… This is inhumanity…
@@kallistaaldridge2534 shut the fuck up and stop spreading your opinions around
You are one lucky man, she is a gem
EXCELLENT JOB !!!!
Thank you!
I am learning here. Thank you so much, Those people who complain just came here to hurt themselves
Great video Thank you! Do you share your brine process anywhere?
Why do they taste different when you kill it different ways?
Blood loss and shock mostly. If a lot of blood is left in the meat, it'll have a stronger taste. And if the animal is in a lot of shock and a lot of adrenaline and hormones are pumping through its body, it can also affect its taste.
Love her opening....
I followed your video, imitating what you did. I need a new knife, mine wasn't quite up to the job. Other than that, it went okay. I appreciate your demonstration!
Your knife might have been fine.
The fur gets in the way, all the time, while trying to cut.
Good video, thanks
What is your brine mixture?
It’s available here: www.omnivoresquivers.com/all-products/omnivores-brine-pack
Thank you for your video it has been the best one I have come across showing in detail removing the offal. Question....When you are brining, do you leave them at room temp, frig, ?
Always in refrigeration or in an ice bath
Take notice girls. This is what an ACTUAL boss looks like.
@@defendingthestrawman7103 what is political about my statement? Perhaps you need to take your own advice if you're seeing politics where they aren't present.
wow that was impressive. i learned sooo much thankyou
Having a partner with good cutting & cooking skills is a blessing 😇
@1:45 yeah yeah yeah everyone says their knife is 8 inches long
You don't have any tribes around you who would use the fur?
It looked so cute until it looked delicious.
That was fantastic! Good job Allison! -Michelle :)
I do see the point with the long knife during bleeding, but would it not be way more handy with a smaller one for the rest of the procedure? And I do hope you follow up with a video on how you prepare your dinner with this meat?
You can absolutely use a shorter blade once you’ve bled your rabbit. I’ve always just used the one knife so it’s what I’m more comfortable with. We do have another video already out showing how I break them down and package, and I post several recipes on our website omnivoresquivers.com.
Great essential survival info considering the looming food shortages
Thank you for this very well done instructional video. I think the most squeamish part is the kill but you made it very humane and actually easier than poultry. Thanks again! Blessings 😊
This is not humane at all…These poor rabbits are suffering the worst they ever could. And wow! You call that humane!!! That’s absurd. This purely a brutality, this tutorial is stupid
@@A.Ornella10 you don’t know what you’re talking about
@@fkurfeelings6938 What did I say? Tell me, I will prove my point correct.
Do you brine first only if cooking right away or do you brine and then freeze? What salt/water ratio do you use for your brine? The video is very helpful as we are looking into getting into meat rabbits to go along with our chickens. What breed do you have here? I've read New Zeland is probably the best for beginners like us as they have a good bone to meat ratio and also have high litter counts....love the info!
I was wondering the same thing; the brine info and process.
We also started out with chickens and 6 months later grew into rabbits.
We have a Californian female (doe) and a male (buck) that’s a New Zealand.
The doe had 2 litters before we had to quit for the summer, as we live in Texas and it gets quite hot and humid.
The kits we processed were, as she said about 4 weeks older than I wanted (at 16 weeks), and therefore much heavier, so it was a bit of a challenge.
We kept a doe and a buck from their second litter and we are expecting both of the does to give birth on 12-1-22. We mated both of them with the “dad” as siblings can’t be mates with each other. We are very excited for another season of growing them.
Good luck with yours!
What do you use in your brine?
city folks crying in the comments lol. this is how we do it
I found this very interesting and I bet rabbit taste very good for all those who didn't like this video just keep eating your tofu crap. that was a very good video
Grow up humans you are still an early man who kill and eats animals ,the pathogens 🦠 will screw humans back and those who eat animals will be died first and return back the pain no matter how many medicine or vaccine humans made
Better than the last guy I watched doing it. Thanks for sharing
this was helpful but i helped my friend butcher one earlier but i cant seem to get the smell off after taking a long shower and its been there for hours. any tips?
Lemon dish soap
Shouldn't be a strong smell unless you punctured intestine?
That little bastard won't be stealing anyone ELSE'S Trix Cereal!!! 😆😆😆
I rooted for Elmer Fudd as a kid 🤷
Yeah, Bugs Bunny was an asshole. I also rooted for Wile E. Coyote.
Duck season
No problem with eating rabbits. But, this just isn't a clean way to kill them. I disagree that the smack is stunning them enough to mitigate the suffering. Seems to me that, by investing in a bolt gun, you could do this a lot more humanely.
She didn’t stun him at all….. she is a hell killer .
The term "rabbit punch" exists for this method. The back of the skull is much weaker, it will stun them more effectively. Don't think I'd do it this way though.
Is it a salt water brine water or a dry brine
If we don't bleed the rabbit first can't we just soak it in salt water?
I really want to homestead and grow/raise my own food but I don’t think I could handle the butchering. It’s just a huge ethical conflict that I struggle with. Seeing things being killled makes me super quesy. I think things should be done as painless and humanley as possible. Without a doubt, animals raised on small farms are treated far more humanely than those in industrial farming and you know what you are putting into your body as well.
if you eat meat pls be quiet
Get a husband lol
@@fkurfeelings6938 exactly. I’m so glad I married because my husband is cool with killing any animals we get on our Homestead
I want to thank you for this video. I did my first rabbit (on my own) last night. Process went unbelieveably well. Only made 1 mistake on a hind leg, but overall really good. This video gave me the encouragement and process I needed to make it happen. It's only my husband and me for Thanksgiving dinner this year, so we're having rabbit!! Thank you again!!
you are a psychopath
Is your brine just salt water? What does it do and how to make it? Great video!
Thank you! I have always stepped on the head and pulled it off like chickens but this looks way less messy.
You are so welcome!
My all-time favorite novel is _Watership Down._ But here I am watching rabbit butchering videos because I have considered many times raising rabbits for meat. To all those who are offended watching the video, _why_ the hell are you watching? Just so you can be offended?
That's exactly why. People love to hate.
@@OmnivoresHomesteadAndQuivers I thought you did a wonderful job -- my first bunny butchering video as the hubs and I decide if we want to raise meat rabbits. Thank you!
