Need advice on storing Rabbit meat


Recommended Posts

I've shot and ate many of them over the years but now I've got a question.  My wife and our Grandson, who is a 16 yo expert on everything, were in the truck and hit a rabbit last night (caught it's head with a tire).  He wanted to bring it home and clean it, which he did very well, but then did something I've not seen before.  He left the meat in a bowl, partially submerged in water, sprinkled about 2 tablespoons of salt on it, and left it on the kitchen counter till this evening (about 20 hours) at which time my wife decided it was going in the refrigerator.  He says it's still OK to eat because it had salt on it but the wife and I are not sure of that.  I've only cleaned and then immediately cooked or frozen them and am not sure.  What do you think?  Is the meat still OK after sitting at room temp for that long with just salt water partially covering it?

Sorry, haven't been able to get on  here in a few days but had read all the responses.  We cooked and ate it on the 15th and no one got sick so all is good and I've learned a new way to preserve meat.  Thanks to all who gave me some great advice.
