RE: Deer skinning question
 

Skinning is easy. but the way I do it makes it even easier. Plus I can adjust the deer up or down for easy butchering. This system also gets much less hair on the meat. If the deer is stiff or somewhat frozen it makes life much better too.

I USE THIS TECHNIQUE, BUT IT'S IMPORTANT YOU DO IT WHILE THE ANIMAL IS STILL WARM. I HANG THEM UP SIDE DOWN AND START ON THE REAR FIRST. CUTTING AWAY FROM THE LIMBS AND THEN I SIMPLE PULL THE HIDE OFF WITH MY HANDS. USUALLY GETS TOUGH AROUND THE NECK AREA. BUT I HAVE PULLED OFF SEVERAL THAT WOULD OF MADE NICE FULL BODY CAPES TO USE ON A MOUNT. I USALLY HAVE HELP WHEN PULLING FROM A BUDDY.

Remember to either cut around the legs or just chop them off at the ankle joint and elbow or the hide will not stretch over that part and WILL tear the deer apart at the spine or neck. Happened to me. I chop off the lower legs at the joints and slice the hide up to there.
