| Squirrel Skinning Pictures-- NOT FOR THE WEAK OF STOMACH Here are my brand new squirrel skinning pictures!! These photos follow the process of skinning a squirrel. Hopefully within the next few weeks I will have photos illustrating how I MOUNT the squirrel...
Anyway, to begin, I measure the squirrel. I take three measurements - head to base of tail, around the belly, and eye-to-nose. This squirrel measured 10" long and 6" around.

| Well, I see you didn't bother to PM Mickey.  I dont blame you... I dont see anything wrong with this.
Of course, you still haven't cut it open yet... |
