Very informative! I just started learning how to prepare skins from animals that I have caught. So much has been forgotten by our generation and those after us. I would love to find a neighbor that had some of this "old knowledge" that everyone knew...

I will be doing a post on fleshing coming up next week. You are right that the best way to learn these skills is from hands on experience and someone who can physically show you. This has been lost mostly to history. Sad.
I have been practicing on squirrels since they are so abundant, and I don't care too much about actually ruining one of their hides. And the meat makes good chick feed. :)
what do you do with the meat? feed it to your chickens or eat it yourself?
We give it to our awkward teenage chicks...they always seem to have a little growth spurt afterwards!
