I have to agree with davidmil and c903 here! Skinning is the easiest part of processing. As long as you dont leave em hanging until their frozen solid! I also use a saw and cut off the legs just above the gambrel (for the hind legs) so once I start theres no hair above the deer. Instead of washing it off (which works well as long as you pat it dry) I use a hair remover that I got from a meat market I used to work at. They come in all shapes in sizes. Mine is the round one (like a coil with lots of tiny teath) and they work like a lint remover would. Just brush the deer down when finished and it picks up any remaining hair. If you have any ma & pops meat markets around they should be able to get one for ya.
