Dead bunny

[Wildgame]

I spotted this guy chewing on some stuff and i wanted to see if practice is paying off. 30+ yrds shot made this bunny jump about 20 feet. I was amazed.
At closer inspection he had a bunch of little ticks and flies and the news about some weird rabitt disese made him look not very apetizing.
How do i not get flies and ticks while skinning game in the field?
First kill with my bow...honestly 65lbs is way too powerful for small game. I might get a cheap less punchy bow to screw around with small game.

just skin them in the field they skin real easy and all the ticks and fleas go with it

Congrats! Just don’t think about it and skin it.

Filet/bone out the damn thing....So much easier that gutting and all that mess

Cut a belt around the waist, pull down the pants and take off the sweater.

Used to use the "Judo Head" for small game back in ancient times when my shoulders allowed me to pull a bow...

Those spring arms were real handy when I missed as they grab the grass or whatever ground cover there was and stop the arrow and kick it over and made it easy to find.
