I used to have those skills and others.Peel em like a sock the old man would say. It's easy as our but take a lifetime to master. I screw it up at least half the time.
But lack of use and time have taken them.

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

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.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.
Lost my taste for game. Just lost the desire.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.

Bingo.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.
I can helpI'd like to go squirrel hunting but don't know what to do with it if I shoot one. I need a sensei.
15 minutes at 10# of pressure. Then dip in egg, shake in corn meal and some Mrs dash before a quick crisping in hot oil. Mmmm good.The best squirrel I remember was cooked in a pressure cooker.
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.

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 !)
