Okay, so, I don't know much about hunters but my main is a guy who grew up hunting with his dad and now he has to spend a few days in the woods with literally nothing while some stuff blows over. I hope this sounds okay. For reference: This is in the first person, past tense. He's telling his story so he does shift tenses.
Any recommendations for phrasing? Does it sound realistic?
Even without a knife itβs quite easy to skin and gut a rabbit. The entrails come right out with a bit of shaking and squeezing. I think skinning is easiest when you start with the front legs, tearing into the skin to reveal the raw red underneath and ripping the arms right out of their sockets with a good tug. I then moved to the back legs but did things a bit differently, tearing the skin all the way down to the stomach and around the tail to rip the rest of the skin off cleanly down the length of its body and held tightly around the head to tear it off as well. This left me with two legs and a body ready for cooking after giving them a wash off in a small stream.
I'm not trying to make him sound vicious, this is just plain and simple survival.
