[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 3645627, member: 35036"] Alright, I need some pointers, because apparently I have no clue what I am doing. Started off the day great, popped three squirrels the first 2 hours I was out. Two and a half hours after I shot the first squirrel, I get back to the truck to clean them and make some breakfast. I’ve never been shown how to hunt squirrel, nor clean them, so the majority of my experience is trial and error, as well as good ol YouTube university. So I go to clean the squirrels how it seems everyone does. Cut the base of the tail, make sure you get through the tailbone, and then follow that cut down on both sides in front of the hindquarters. Then, stepping on the rear legs, pull the tail up, you should skin the squirrel like you’re taking off his shirt. Then you take off his pants, and gut/wash the sucker. Well, with these three, as well as the squirrel previously, I end up ripping them in half when pulling off his “shirt”; making a huge mess. Why!? Is there a better technique? What am I doing wrong? The squirrel before these was ferret sized, and he had been dead 4 hours before cleaning, three of those hours on ice. These three were a good average size, fresh, and had been dead less than 3 hours, no stiffness yet. oh and [USER=43652]@Beau B[/USER] i got everything sorted out with the Henry and I swear this thing doesn’t miss living targets.
