lol - I guess if you've never processed game birds and had to get their guts out of the chest cavity without ripping the whole breast off - you don't know you need one of these
So that's what it's for, helping to remove the internal organs from pheasants and ducks (dead ones, of course).
IN england the pheasant and water fowl season tends to be fairly short. So I get quite a lot of birds to do in a fairly short space of time.
My dad goes beating and shooting and so do various friends. I suspect I've become the dumping ground for spare birds as I don't say no
The worst part of skinning apheasant is removing the internal organs. It's quite a narrow opening, and to reach right to the back you usually have to get your whole hand in their - which tears the sides and leaves a very untidy corpse.
You can also use this to remove the lungs (hence the sccop aspect of the organ hooks) - I like to leave them in as both myself and the dogs like them cooked.
The two birds i did with this widget (pheasant and a duck) were the neatest looking ones I've ever done.
It's quite gratifying when you create a brand new tool and it actually works
It does however need a name. I've discovered that while i'm pretty good at inventing and printing new things, I'm bloody useless at naming them.
This tool currently exists under the name of: bird gut remover.
Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue
Any ideas for a decent name ?
