Who says there's only one way to skin a cat?

there isn't ....but at 1:30am on a dusty back road with the wind howling and a dull knife - it would have been nice if there was!   OK, before the squeamish and animal lovers go up in arms,  this was a bobcat and the poor critter had been double run (run out and run-over).  So my thought, initially, was that it's a shame to let this beautiful animal go to waste - but after 30 minutes of attempted skinning I was beginning to question my initial thought.....Did I really need this, what was I going to do with it anyway and where in the hell did all this dust come from.   Lastly, it certainly turned out to be a good bit more difficult than I anticipated.
