skinning game birds
Does anyone know of an illustrative webpage that shows the best way to skin
birds to keep as many feathers in tact for fly tying. I'd like to give it to
a duck hunter friend. Thanks.
I don't know of a web page, but since you haven't received any
reponses, here's a suggestion.
Years ago, a friend told me how to skin pheasant: Cut off the wings
at the "elbows" and the legs at the knees. Then just "unzip" the
skin like a windbreadker and take the skin off like removing a jacket.
It really works, and will probably work on a duck, too.
