How'd that orange thing do skinning?

by **assateague** » Mon Jun 10, 2013 9:37 pm

It was awesome. First time ever skinning a groundhog, and it got a workout. I got the ass out, and then tried to pull it down like, well, any other critter I've ever skinned. Didn't budge. I had to cut the whole thing off. They are some tough bastards. I was skeptical of the knife when it came to bones, though, but it had no problem cutting the sternum, tail, and the pelvis. I was just super careful, since I didn't want to put a very sharp knife full of gopher guts into my palm. The blade is still fine, also. After skinning, gutting, and quartering, I used the same blade to shave off the boogery membrane on the outside of the meat. No problems.

Awesome! I've sold a fair number of those so far and I'd bet a hundo that you are the first to skin Punxsutawney Phil with one. :lol:

The whole time, I was thinking "I didn't think a groundhog would be first with this" :lol:

That was one of tripods knives. I'm gonna eat the go-fair Saturday, with a couple racks of ribs.

You were the kid who wore cowboy boots with a pair of cut off jeans, huh?

(I was that kid, too)

Grandparents got me some red ropers when I was about three. Have many pictures of me with them in shorts.

Groundhog and ribs are on the smoker. Neighbor just brought 4 packs of salmon up when he smelled the smoker going, but it's full. When the ribs come off, the salmon will go on. The UDS is getting a workout today.

Place looks awesome Jim. Too bad it's in Maryland.

by **assateague** » Sat Jun 15, 2013 3:22 pm

Pretty good. But I went wrong with the rub. It's not nearly as strong tasting as I thought, at all. So the rub made it taste like beef jerky, only tender. I'll eat it again, but with a simple marinade instead of a rub.

The wife says you are gross and disgusting and wonders why you don't "just eat a fucking rat" ?

All better now!

Gramps and I saw a groundhog in his back yard. Told him I had a buddy cooking one today, he said there's not much better than a young tender groundhog, and if that fucker touches his squash he's gonna rearrange its brains with a pellet gun and you could have another.
