Yeah, and my Dad always told me that the way to skin a snowshoe hare was to make a cut at the bottom, grab it by the ears and give it a really firm jerk and it’ll fall right out. I’d like to see some documentation on your method, if you don’t mind.
We live in a very rural area and my daughter learned to butcher hogs in high school! LOL Not my thing but she didn’t mind it at all.
I had to help my grandfather kill chickens when I was a kid. He was from up North and didn’t do it right though. He went to all the trouble to tie a string around their neck. I pulled the string and he chopped. Around here you just grab them by the head and whirl them around over your head like twirling a lasso and POP! I always hated killing chickens because I’m an animal lover but I’m also a farm girl so I understand that it has to be done.
Doccumentaion? Hmmm. It’s just a field dressing method passed down from generation to generation.
However I did see it shown on a hunting show the other day, Canada outdoors, Hunting Canada or something like that it was called. Maybe you can find a video file on their website. I was kind of suprised that they showed it on TV actually, but it is a common method hunters use to field dress grouse.
