RE: How do you hang your deer??????
When I hang them, I hang them head down. I did one head up once, it wasn't as neat and seemed dis-respectful somehow. Last couple of years tho I havn't even bothered to hang them, if I have any help I do the whole process with him laying on a table.
I killed my first buck this yr sat. and a friend wanted to help me skin it. We hung him head up. His way of doing it was to make one inch slits on each leg. Then we took an air compressor and put the nozzle in the slit. It blew the hide up like a balloon, making the 150lb buck look like he was at least 250. After that we skinned him regular, and the hide was really easy to come off. To me it seemed kinda disrespectful, but it made for a really easy job.
One more thing . . .we did'nt gut him before using the compressor. That was done after the skinning.
