Default RE: Tips or Tricks For Skinning?

ORIGINAL: Pro-Line

To me using a vehicle is rediculous for skinning a deer. It takes about 10 minutes without one...and the mistakes people make when using a vehicle are usually costly. JMO, though.

Exactly.

If you run into a sticky spot you will rip half the meat apart before stopping the vehicle...........or maybe you end up pulling down your garage roof. Just not worth it.

I skinned a buck I wanted to have a shoulder mount done on last year so I was REALLY careful when I got to the front legs on up to the skull. The whole job took me about 20 minutes to do flawlessly. Not worrying about the cape I can be done in 10 minutes.

Sharp knife and some pulling is all you need.
