Still gifted with an abundance of UNsweetness in assaultive personal attacks, I see.

SoooooOOOOOoooooooOOOOOOoooooooooooOOOOOOooooooOOOOoooooooo IMPRESSIVE!

BTW, by the time I was in my teens and Dad might have given me some of the gutting tasks, we'd stopped raising our own food. So my experiences in that department are merely in watching countless examples. But the day I had to eat the brains, I'd wished I hadn't watched.

I assume the daily chore of gutting the snakes and scorpions is down to a quick art, now?

No, not personal attacks, just stuff based on your other arguments and a request for proof of your visual art ability. Those with no ability in comparing two objects for similarities (such as an artist does in his head every time he draws something) will not be able to make a judgement very accurately. They’re welcome to try. But I run into a lot of people labeling stray dogs one breed or another when they don’t even resemble the breed. I guess you’d have to have the eye for that sort of thing.

A raccoon (now that Jeff Corwin has mentioned it) seems an even more viable explanation given the hand-like shape of the front paws. Dunno why that one slipped my mind.

A raccoon skull is of a similar shape to a dog - with the eyes further forward.

As my hubby cyrano mentioned, a dog skull doesn’t even look like a dog. Which is my point exactly. The deer skull hanging on my wall here looks distinctly beak like especially because ungulates lack any front upper teeth.

However, again, a raccoon seems the most plausible right now.

And no, I’m not as fast as others at field dressing deer, because I tend to be overly cautious about injuring bladder, stomach, and intestines. I like my meat to be as untainted by those things as possible.

Why, is there something wrong or uncivilized about killing and eating your own food?

It sure sounds like it from your previous post.
