22 cal pellet gun to do the deed

[Ninny]

I was asking a meattie breader here how she does it and she says she has a really sharp pair of hedge sheers that she lops the head of with. I have not been over to see how she does it yet.

Ummm thats just scary.

Thanks Chickenjoe. The wringer looks easy, fast, and painless. Does anyone here have practical experience with it? It is as quick as it looks?

I do use a .22 pellet gun. I find that it is very efficient at close range. I wouldn't want it for hunting. I used a stick for a long time and held them by the back legs. I found that every once in a while I would miss them or hit them in the back, causing a mess after processing. I also found with the pellet gun that they don't go rigid when they were shot. It makes them easier to deal with after skinning when your trying to get the carcass in a freezer bag.
