Game cleaning guides

[guzzijohn]

Some of you may laugh at this question but would appreciate the help. My father did not hunt and as a kid I hunted some with a friend. What we shot he cleaned and appeared to have little patience for teaching me. Anyway outside of a bit of dove hunting (I can clean those), I have not hunted in over 30 years. I now live back in the country on 320 acres and have a lot of hunting opportunities. After doing some searching I am not coming up with any good guides, books or internet information on cleaning game. I am mostly looking at small game and possibly deer hunting. Could any of you help me locate this information?

Here's a link to a thread I made on how to clean turkeys.

I think someone else has done the same type thing on squirrels... and I know you can find deer cleaning videos on youtube.  None of it's really that hard.  If you have a specific question don't hesitate to ask.

As for partridge:
As soon as you shoot them put them on their back ( belly & head up ), put one foot on each wing as close to the body as possible. Grab one leg in each hand and gently pull up and the breast will pull right out. Then break off legs.( Be careful cause these leg bones are sharp.) Fast, Easy & No mess.

For rabbits:
As soon as you shoot them. Grab rabbit by the head with one hand and grab the fur behind the neck and pull back and the hide will pull right off over the rear. I cut the rabbit tight behind the front shoulder down through back bone and pull back toward rear and most of the guts will come right out. Break off rear legs at knee. ( Again be careful bones are very sharp). The reason I don't save front shoulder isn't enough meat to bother with.
I showed my 9 yr. old  grandson how to do it once and you ought to see how fast he can skin a rabbit now.

Hope this helps.
