Wow, lots of you like slicing the jugular... I do not like that way. I feel like it prolongs things. One swift chop with my hatchet and everything is done with. The move less and it is less mess in my opinion. I did the kill cone and slicing, it was not my favorite method.
I feel like a cone is best for *me* because I'm a small person, and I'd rather hold the bird to get a clean cut. A lot of my neighbors do the ax, but i just dont think i can do that myself
