Squirrel skinning pictoral...VERY GRAPHIC

Hi Guys,

I thought I would post this again for new forum members, and also because the squirrel seasons in most of the Northern half of the US have been open for a while.....it helped some folks before, so hopefully it'll help some more....

Grasp the squirrel like this.
Cut straight across the anus and through the base of the tail (there's a gap between vertabrae there)
Here's an examplhttp://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u62/USMCShooter/5thStep.jpg
Place the foot close against the body..step down HARD on the tail

Grasp the back legs firmly, step down on the tail and pull hard.

Pull up using your body weight.

Work your fingers under the hide (what I call the pants.lol)

Pull the "pants" off.

Pants off.

Work your fingers through the armpit (shirt)
Pull the front legs out of the "shirt".

Leg out of the "Shirt"
Cut the head off.
Head Off

Slip the knife blade under the skin and slice end to end to remove innards.
Guts removed.
Break the bones in the feet at the ankles and cut the feet off.
And here we are with a cleaned squirrel!
