RE: skinning deer
Yea I posted it back on the gut or not gut post and wrinkled a few skirts.
Hang the deer by the neck or horns. It helps if you have a tractor with a loader so that you can easily move them to hose them off but it's not a must. Just hang from a strong support. Make a ring around the neck and zipper it down to where you gut it or if you didn't then zipper it all the way down. Pull the skin down far enough to where you can put a rock in on the fur side and tie a string on the skin side using the rock as an anchor point. The knot should tighten up around under the rock good. Take the other end and tie it to a bumper and pull away. You may want someone else there to help if it gets hung up in a spot.
That should work either the skin or the bumper gives.
