    Lucky to be alive (Not for the squeamish!)

    Good to be put in our place occasionally and reminded we are not alone at the top of the food chain. If the bear had got inside the tent the story would have ended differently. Pothunter.

    Skinning and plucking help!

    Belated update, drew two birds using the 'devon pluck' results not good. One had sustained to much damage internally and the other was just a mess after attempting to use this method. My birds had been hung for three days and guess this would work better on fresh foul so will try again next...

    Skinning and plucking help!

    Have to agree plucking foul is a miserable job followed by the smell of burnt feathers, either skin them or just take the breast meat and legs if plump enough.
