    Squirrels are tougher to skin than rabbits and rabbits have less meat than a deer so squirrels don't make up much of table fare here in Leadeye land. That said, there are plenty around if I can't find a deer or rabbit they will do. ;)

    I've done it more in recent years than I have in awhile. Had to shake the rust off for sure.

    When I started I could hear him talking over my shoulder. Made me smile.
    It was my aunts talking over my shoulder. They were the pro's. The kitchen staff on the farm. I have never seen anyone save a pro bad ass butcher clean game like they did.

    It's not somethign we eat regularly, although there's a lot of it around. It's just comforting to know the skills involved in cleaning and cooking it in case you can't get anything at the store, or don't even want to go to town.

    Bingo.

    I do love some well prepared summer sausage from deer meat. A friend blends pan sausage and deer sausage into pattys for breakfast meat or even a tasty sammich and yes its pretty good.

    We do that as well, I get kits with the spices and the gardener runs the deer meat through the grinder after mixing it with pork. Cooked on racks in the oven it's great on crackers.

    Perhaps some of you have already heard of Raffir USA Wood ?!?.
    They supply many, many makers of firearm grips, and knife handles. Their stuff is really unmatched, and I noticed recently that they also carry an assortment of Woolly Mammoth fossils.

    Here's an example of a matched set of tusk blocks (pre-sized to make into grips/handles.
    Link: https://raffirusa.com/collections/r...ils-matching-sets-tusk?variant=39411484000437

    They developed a process where the wood products and fossils are placed in a vacuum, and then various resins are forced into them, to stabilize and harden them.

    Anyway, as a yet undefined project I'm gong to try, I picked up a set of what they called Tusk & Tooth mammoth ivory. These pieces are 1/4" thick, and about 5" long.
    They have to be cut with diamond saw blades, and I'm going to investigate a
    (wet) Tile cutter, or similar.

    Yesterday, I photographed them. (sorry for long'ish post !)

    Evening, everyone.

    MM, gorgeous pieces. Best of luck with your next project.

    All this talk has me wanting game meat. I prefer it over the store stuff. :dunno:
