I haven't done it often, but I have done it....and I am going to go back to my grandfather's way....with an axe, cuz cutting the corotied (sp) artery is not only hard to do in one try and the thrashing around is hard on my heart to remember later. And, no, a killing cone didn't work well at all....one bird got loose with all the thrashing around....maybe I'm just not strong enough to stick them far enough into the cone....but I know I am strong enough to bring a swift, humane end with an axe. (I'll tie the legs together, just in case)
