C o n s e r v a t i o n C o m m e n t s Nfcwlfark state division of Fishand Wildlife FieldPreparation of Small Game I have long since gotten over being surprised at thfc number of wives who don't particularly care fo# th e 1 game that their hunter-husbands bring home. I am sure that with • some it is a mental block - they see a cute little cqttontail hopping around, although they never vis- - ualize a soulful-eyed cow while they are eating a steak, I suspect, however, that more often than not, the reason they don’t care for game is that they have never had any that was given the care required to get it into the kitchen in full flavor. Never having seen or tasted-the type of meat which gave game its reputation, a woman doesn’trealize that by the time her husband turns the carcass over to her for preparation, it has already lost most of its fine quality. Is there any reason why wild game should be treated any differently than domestic animals sold for meat at the local market? Some people will say'yes to that, and will continue to hang their game in the old traditional ways used before modem refrigeration was devel oped. If that is the way they like their game, fine, but for most people, the surest way to get meat of the highest quality» is to treat it with the best modem care possible. The first rule for the care of meat, assuming you have a good animal to start with, is to clean and cool it just as quickly as possible. The hunter can not pop his game in the- cooler immediately, but he should follow this basic rule as far as possible, \vhich means field dress ing the game before resuming the hunt. fittiftediate- removal of the entrails will eliminate the major source of bacteria causing spoilage. This is particularly true when the intestines have been punctured by shot, permitting the contents to spiH out and taint the flesh. This also opens up the body cavity to permit the meat to cool properly. If you then jam the carcass right- into your game pouch, you cancel out this advantage. To ' cool game properly, prop the body cavity open with a small stick and let the carcass dangle from your belt where air can circu late around it. This doesn't mean that your gape pouch is a waste, for it is an excellent place to . carry a thermos of coffee, . sandwiches and rain gear. Blood left in or on the flesh makes it soft and watery, and detracts from its nataal flavor, As soon as the entrails have been removed, the body cavity should be wiped out with a dry cloth, paper towel or even dry grass. Resist the temptation to wash it clean, for water also softens the flesh, making it more susceptible to bacterial action. Leave the skin in place, for this will protect the meat from contamination and drying while hanging outside during the re mainder of the hunt. When you get home and are ready to prepare the meat for table or freezer, then remove this pro tective cover. H u n ter-killed game usually has some dam aged flesh that must be removed; before the meat is cooked. Where blood has penetrated the flesh without other damage, soaking the meat two to six hops in a cold salt •water (one tablespoon of salt to a quart of water) is helpful. Though skinning a bird is simpler, a plucked bird is preferred, for the skin helps keep moisture in the bird while cooking. Most people encounter trouble by trying to work too fast. By grasping a few feath ers at a time, and pulling downward in the direction of the feathers,- they should come out without tearing the skin, If the feathers don’t come readily, dip the bird in scalding water repeatedly until the feathers are' wet to the base. Waterfowl feathers are so well oiled, that it may be difficult or% almost impossible to get adequate penetration of the feathers by water alone to use this method.
