Turns out the rabbit had bubonic plague. So if you can get some of those anti-cut gloves or at least be careful not to cut yourself with your knife or exposing an existing cut/wound to the rabbit insides.
I was going to bring some long disposable gloves with me. I'm not particularly worried about tularemia now that it's so cold, but I guess you can get it just from handling infected flesh. So yeah, better safe than sorry.
I guess a mule deer near the Dalles had plague some time ago, too. Although I guess the risk of it is pretty low, it's good to be safe.
