Busy Busy Busy

Fall always seems like such a busy time.  Getting everything ready for winter.  Preparing for the holidays... there's just so much to do and hardly any light to do it by.

We butchered the chickens this past weekend.  It went smoothly.  We beheaded them with a hatchet this time.  Then strung them up to bleed out.  My brother came to help out and showed us some pretty nice field dressing techniques he learned from all the hunting he does.  We had 5 roosters and we skinned 3 of them.  That made my job a lot easier!

Yesterday preparations for Duck Jerky also began.  I skinned and deboned 2 ducks for Parker to make into jerky.
