@@sharpen-up you’re just skinning that section of the hock essentially. The gland will come with the hide, just give yourself some extra hide around it so you’re not running your knife blade through the dark spot on the hide. I do about 3” of space, but there’s no set rule for that. The video was pieced together as a bit of an afterthought, but hopefully that helps clear it up!
Thanks! It’s definitely something I don’t hear brought up enough, and I know it’s something a lot of new hunters either miss, or struggle with a bit. I just don’t like hearing, “my deer tastes like crap, I’m going to feed it to the dogs” 😬
So remove the gland, but doesn't show how to cut it out...
