It took me a while to remember which thread this was on but after a bit of searching, there it was! (Proof of god?)
Anyway, Background: I live in town. One of the neighbor kids came over to my house last night (he's 15ish, 9th grade) and asked me if I would show him how to skin a raccoon. Seems he had a dead one. He'd found it hit by a car but undamaged otherwise. (???) It was in a cooler at his house covered with ice.
His dad told him to ask me. He figured, since I worked with wildlife I'd know how to skin it. What would you have done? I'll tell you what I did after I see a few responses.
I'll tell you what I did first though. I went in the house, poured the kid a ginger beer and myself a wild turkey on the rocks, brought it outside, sat on the front steps and laughed for ten minutes straight, sipping my drink betwwen the tears.
P.S. I am a very proficient skinner. Back in the day, I was a butcher (16 to 24 years old, that's 8 years for GoP and FtK) and I've skinned lots of things. He did not know this though.
