alright i have the thing skinned now i just need to gut it and cut it up to eat it. it is completly skinned, head and feet are off and it is in one piece. i am completly stuck now.

Easier to cut down the belly from the back end, then scrape it all out.

theres a how to video on huntingfootage.com called Mr. Squaks and it shows how to skin them in mere seconds. once skinned, just scrape the guts out, and i just cut the legs off, keep them, keep the body, and pitch the head. i know people who just scrape out the gutss, cut off the head, and leave it whole too.

thanks guys.well i kinda gave up on him. i completly messed him up so i decided to nominate him for coyote trap bait.

i do it like a deer, start at the bottom of the rib cage cut down to pelvis, and rip it all out

i start by cutting the tail off than making a cut about center mass right on the top of its back big enough 2 get a few fingers in than i just rip pull the hide down to the back feet than cut it off than do the same to the front feet cut it off than cut the head off than gut it. I can do a squirrel in a matter of a minute or 2.
