Feed it corn and plenty of clean water for a few days
Suppressed 22 in the earhole will work great
Hang it by back legs and slit throat if you want to bleed it but it is not necessary. Save the blood and mix 1:1 with water and pour around your rose garden or veggies. They will love it.
If you want to cook it with skin on you will need to scrape it. Place hand towel on the spot to be scraped an pour boiling water on the towel. let it sit for a few min. then scrape with the back edge of machete or knife to pull the hair out. Any hair left can be burnt off with a small propane torch just be careful not to burn the skin.
After you have scraped it, go ahead and field dress it. Make sure to not puncture the intestines or bladder and thoroughly rinse out the cavity with fresh water.
Good luck enjoy the delicious meat.

pour boiling water
Don't do this. Water temp should be around 150-160. Boiling water will just make the skin gum up and make it difficult to clean. Your best bet is to use a big tub and heat your water to the above temp and just soak it in there until the hair and skin start to peel. Take it out of the water immediately. If you leave it to long it will also gum up.
