    Toby, if it is an older bird which you are likely to make a stew, pie or a sauce for pasta there is no need to pluck the bird. If it is a young bird which you would want to roast, then I would pluck it as the skin helps to keep the meat moist along with the stuffing and/or rashers of bacon over the breast.

    That is fairly clever and looks as though it would work on any large bird.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    I have found it easier to skin them when they have been hung overnight...

    Done a lot like this, it's a good fast way to prepare them and works most of the time!
