My opinion, if yee be a meat eater, yee better be able to look what yer eating in the face. BK 5 made dispatching rooster a non issue. One flip of wrist, head gone, to the bucket to bleed.

As I've said before, I'm proud to own Becker Knives, made in USA, able to put a face to the name with Ethan Becker posting right here, priced so the common man can afford, honest to god practical hard working tools. Can't ask for more.

Heack yea brother! I'll eat the chicken and his ugly little face! I cleaned a wabbit not to long ago with my 14, it was amazing :D
 
Great post. This is a HUGE point we make in SFS. People are so disconnected from where they get their food. I do not take too fondly of those who say they love to eat meat but cringe at the sight of a bleeding animal. I wonder how many people would stop eating meat if they had to slaughter their own animals...

Also, nice 5!! Glad to see it being loved!!
 
nice! did you save the blood too? we like to let it drip over a bowl of uncooked rice, let it coagulate and toss it in the soup mix. texture is almost like cooked liver at that point...the head gets tossed in the soup too - good eats! :)
 
It's our duty as outdoorsman to teach the ignorant, like you said DeadFall, people are just out of touch with reality these days due to the convenience of supermarkets and fast food. A person can say "OMG how can you just kill a helpless animal and eat it like that? That's grose!" But yet they cram that chese burger in their face! You tell me,what's more helpless? A hog In a small pin being hit in the head with a hammer in a slaughter house? Or a free organic animal with a fighting chance in the wild that's worth celebrating? There is nothing like the feeling of providing for your family the way God intended!
 
We too eat the roosters out of a brood when we let the hens sit. People need to see and do this, it gives you a whole new respect for the sacrifice from our food. It's real food compared to the styrofoam tray variety!
 
If I could look all my meat in the face before eating it, I would. Something about knowing you procured your own food is satisfying.
 
i hang in trees by my toes and drop on prey with twin BK5s. good way to get a fast lunch :)

good stuff this de-chickening. more people should make their own food.
 
There is a big difference in meat quality between home slaughtered and store bought meat. The animals being trucked to massive processing plants get that flavorless factory taste, often tougher meat, and under bled.
 
Alot of folks have never killed to eat. It creates a disconnect with what it actually takes to make if from day to day.

I've got my position on the matter, and here's the way I look at it, since the dawn of man, we have had to kill to eat, if you eat meat. In the last 100yrs, we've gotten away from that. In a real bad, bad situation, and McDonald's didn't open at 6am, forever, some folks are going to starve.

Good post, great thread, and love that BK5.

What???!?!?! You mean chicken doesn't come from the frozen food aisle!!!

Good thread, I agree though people have no idea where there food comes from these days. I'll be glad when I can move out of this hole back into the woods again.

X2. Another reason we are having to fight for our Knife and Gun rights. Knives and guns were( and are) tools we used to procure and process our food. We need to reconnect. And that 5 makes quite the tool, thanks Getridone for sharing!!!!!.
 
Without access to a farm myself how would one go about learning how to kill and dress their own food? I'm a city boy and never learned these skills and would love to do so.
 
Great post.
I raised chickens 4-5 times now.
Great way to teach the kids about food and basic butchering.
 
When I was a child my grandma bought live fish for shabbat, kept them in the bathtub and due time smacked their heads with a rolling pin - and that was in the city... prior to that the fish lived in a supermarket in a very small tank with hundreds of other fish
I am way less happy with the suffering mass production gives the animals then meeting the animal in person before it becomes my meal when it's done humanely .
