The Wild Turkey Zone: Field Dressing / Cleaning
Field dressing is essentially gutting the bird in the field while leaving
the feathers on. Removing the guts or entrails is important to help allow
the bird to cool faster and to keep the "juices" inside the bird from
spoiling any meat. If it is a cool day and you aren't far from home, you can
skip the field dressing step and wait until you are home before cleaning the
bird.
Skinning And Dressing Rabbits the rabbit is hung by one of
the hind legs above the hock joint. The head is immediately removed to allow
complete bleeding. The forefeet are then removed. The next step is to cut
the skin around the hock joints of the legs and then to cut between these
points across the lower part of the body. Remove the tail and pull the skin
down and forward over the body. The skins of young or fryer age rabbits are
easily removed in this way; it is more difficult to remove the skins of
older rabbits.
