If you ever do get caught out with a fresh dead bunny and no knife, there’s no problem though it gets a bit messy if you’re squeamish about blood and guts. The skin is so fragile that you can simply pinch up a bit of it anywhere on the body and use a fingernail to rip it open, then simply peel it off. I start by twisting and pulling the head off then stincing a finger inside the hide at the torn neck and working from there. For the innards, likewise you can open the belly with a fingernail (and mine are never long or sharp), rip it wide open, then grab the bunny by the hind legs and “whip” toward the ground and the guts go flying out, clean as a whistle unless you get ’em on your boots. Takes a bit of practice but no more than learning to skip a stone. Only part I find I need a knife for is to cut off the tail, which can wait until I’m home. All that said, I wear at least a Swiss Army knife at all times except in bed and the shower. dave
