Do you know the best way to clean a ruffie?
Lay them on their back on the ground, spread the wings....step on them one foot per wing.....slowly pull the feet, voila....cleaned ruffie.
Nice pics!

AW thanks! It was a great time of reconnecting as siblings, something that non-hunters ever really understand fully. It's not always just about bagging the game (though dang, were they tasty!)

We did a couple that way but I had to agonizingly pluck a few. Oh my god. That took all the patience I had!
I want to roast up a whole one for a recipe, so you don't want to know how long it took me to clean one small bird. The life of a food blogger haha! All that work just for one recipe and a beautiful photo.
Has anyone ever scalded them successfully?

I've boiled water with parrafin wax in it, dunk them 3 or 4 times and the feathers come out way easier if your gonna roast the whole bird
