Mobow's post in the "maybe a dumb question" thread reminded me ofa skinning tip that an old country guy in Arkansas gave me. I haven't done this simply because I'm not sure it's actually a good idea. I'm sure this technique would NOT be used for a deer you're going to have mounted.

He said to hang the deer by the neck, cut around the base of the head, skin down enough to roll a rock in the skin, then tie a rope around the rock in the skin, attach the rope to your ball hitch and pull the skin right off.

Howdo you think this would work?
