This is my master plan ................................. but .................................... I don't currently posses these skills!!!!! I know I can eat the meat if I get that far. It is the getting that far. My husband will not help in any way shape or form (the killing / processing part) and thinks I won't be able to do it either. I did have to cull earlier this year x 2, a truly harrowing experience. But I want to be as self sufficiant w/ our food as I can be and I want to learn to do this (not ness technolly or physically but emotionally) I am reading every meat thread I can watching the videos (trying to desensitize myself to it and pick up pointers) and forming a new plan for the actual death stroke so we'll see. I do have a back up plan if all else fails, my former partner at work has agreed to help w/ the killing processing, and he killed his first deer this year so as last resort I have that to fall back on. But it GALLS me to the bone to admit defeat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When the time comes there are several on here that will help (I'm sure). Otherwise feel free to keep my number handy, although I prefer to skin then rather than pluck them. I can complete a young bird in less than 2 minutes and ready to bag that way, and no smell of burnt feather from running them over burning rubbing alchohol to get rid of teh remaining feather folicles.
Thank you for the offer, and skinning was definately an option I was looking into since I don't actually eat the skin anyway.
