Posting about processing my meaties this morning reminded me, I had a lightbulb moment that might be useful to someone else.
I really do *mean* to make an actual, proper killing cone, but, haven't yet. Waiting for the right free materials to, uh, materialize.
But this morning I had an epiphany. Took a pizza box (you could use any other cardboard), bent it back and forth a bit to make the cardboard flexible, wrapped it into a cone shape with appropriate-sized neck opening, and held it together with a couple turns of duct tape. Presto! Hung from handy tree-branch with some old wire poked thru the top of the cardboard, it worked most excellently.
And, with the duct tape removed afterwards, you can compost or recycle it
