Icing on the cake

I know some people have said you can ice foul and ducks with out cleaning them for a night. I was wandering if the same applies for small game like rabbits and squirrels. It's only going to be 8 hours. I'm not entirely sure it's safe I was just wandering. Thank you.

Absolutely not. You must gut them, and ducks are super insulated. Don't shoot it if you don't have time to clean it

We do it all the time and never had an issue. Ducks we kill on Friday generally stay on ice thru Sunday and get cleaned Sunday night. I killed some squirrels on friday morning, put them on ice and didn't clean them until Sunday afternoon. Tasted fine to me when I cooked them Sunday night.

You can pull the guts out of ducks and put them in the refrigerator for a month

Take that rabbit, squeeze him like hell right below the rib cage and slide your hand down. Guts explode out the ace hole. Takes 2.4 seconds.

I was taught that rabbits must be cleaned immediately. Now how much of that was true and how much was old wives' tales I don't know but I've always followed it.

I do this all the time with squirrels/piglets/rabbits. If it can cool quick and the gut isn't ruptured you are fine. Generally the reason you want the guts out of larger game immediately is due to efficient cooling. a whole squirrel dunked in ice water cools really quick.
Aging fowl with the guts in is a common practice in Europe. You're good.
Our grandpas/dads doing things one way doesn't mean it's the only/best way. If that were the case i'd still be soaking my deer meat.

For 8 hours I wouldn’t sweat it at all, I’d try to gut most if your can but as said foe a short amount of time I don’t think I’d sweat small game.

This is true but I’ll add that larger game animals tend to be ruminants, and their stomach/gut will continue to ferment and generate heat after they’re down. Field dressing never caught on in the south because you could usually drive in to get it, but it’s really not a bad habit for public land or otherwise remote kills.

Good point, forgot about that.
