new knife and sheath from turtle tail

<< < (5/5)

mcginnis6010:
Yea they aint easy but the easiest way that i have found is to make an insicion(think i spelled it wrong) and use air or water to help seperate the tough hide from the muscles and tissue. Even then you need a very sharp knife to cut into their tough hide.

cutfinger:
once you get a turtle and chop off the head. it will take many hours for the nerves to die as the legs keep pushing on the knife, BUT you can skin and gut one right away if after removing the head you insert a stiff wire like a coat hanger wire into the spine at neck and completly destroy the spinal cord, push it all the way to the tail, the legs will shoot straight out and then relax, now start to work, tie up by tail to a tree, remove the undershell, gut and remove meat, saving skin and do the tail last, excellent meat and rawhide.Remove all the yellow fat,enjoy,tim
