thanks for taking the time to do this you two, good stuff.

i have always reversed and stripped the secondaries on all wings but I'm going to have to try to leave them attached after seeing Ludvig's pictures Cool Wink

Question:
will this technique work on large winged birds such as swans or turkeys?

i do it on capers and it work great. but i also open it under the wing to get out the meat on Metacarpals to. i just use a syrin whit arsenic to injekt it on smaller birds but think it is to much meat on larger birds to let it be in there. so i open it from under the wing. fill it up whit clay and then stich it together. that is what i do. but dont say i have right Wink

One thing else that I do is I hang the bird by the ball joint of the humerous bone (shoulder) and skin down to the wrist.  The chain that I use to do the main body skinning (only 1 hook though) holds it nice.

Ludvik what do you mean by injecting arsenic. Do you still use arsenic oxide?
