The magic fingers drill is... let's just say we all make stupid purchases. I end up "peeling" most of my birds and then vacuum sealing them. I know that with the gambels quail i hunt that this can deaden the delicacy of their flavor, but the vacuum bagger counters it pretty well. Sharpies, prairie chicken, pheasans and the rest are all treated the same way at our house. By the way, quail baked in a good mole' (mol-ay) sauce is my newest obsession. Try it.
