Here is my skinning method. [url=http://flyanglersonline.com/flytying/atlantic/skinning.html:b1062]http://flyanglersonline.com/flytying/atlantic/skinning.html[/url:b1062]

Funny, I just finished skinning a barnyard hen about a half hour ago. She had some pretty nice feathers though and I am in the process of skinning a big bunch of rare Pheasants.

Yeah Hans, it isn't for the fainthearted among us and really, I don't enjoy it either but I must plod through. I wouldn't normally bother with a barn yard chicken (male or female) but it is quite easy to just cut patches out if they have interesting feathers. This bird, I did the whole body treatment as described but did have to think about it for awhile.

Happy Trails!
