You will get better the more you do , I have done 5 today and just had another give to me , I do 30 or 40 a year and have for lots of years, so practice helps. I can skin/ bone one in less than an hour and cut and have ready to package in about that Got 5 ready today and ground 39 lbs of burger in about 6 hours , I clean it close so takes a little longer but makes for some really good eating. 😉Pappy
