How do you skin a deer? Head up or down?
Well, this is another topic that I never would have thought of until I read this board.
Growing up we always hung the deer up by the hind legs and skinned them from the back legs forward. That's just the way we did it. Never saw anyone else skin a deer and never thought anything of it. We cut a slit down from where you already had the deer open from field dressing it to the back knee, got it started and just pulled it down over the shoulders and neck and then cut the head off after you got it down to the end of the neck.
Reading some threads and seeing how people have deer hung up it looks like others may skin deer from the head down.
I'm just curious whether I'm in the minority on this or not.
