This will be my third year hunting. The past two seasons the people I was with dressed my game for me. I want to learn how to do it myself. Other than watching how-to videos, any advice for going about it as a beginner?

Why didn't you ask the people holding your hand and showing you the last two years?

i hunted and skinned on my own the first time. made plenty of mistakes but learned a lot. no need for others anon, just you do you

hunt small game first

Check your state game regs. There may be certain cuts of meat that you cannot leave behind or it's considered wasting game and could get you in trouble.

First time I cut open a deer I fucked up so many ways. But I was solo and learned how to hunt myself. I didn’t have anyone to hunt with or mentor me. How the fuck don’t you know how if you had people show you? Either way it’s like anything in life. You make mistakes and learn.

Try field dressing a vagrant for practice
