pm69442....i should been more descriptive...what i mean is when you are using the knife, do it between the actual hide and the meat....dont cut the hair to make your cut...only place i cut some hair is when going around the legs but then i get my knife between the hide and meat and slice open the hide which doesnt cut the hair at all....it works...i havent had a problem with hair on my meat...and we skin 5-10 deer a season and a bunch of furbearers which cutting hair and fur on would be costing us money.....its hard to describe in text..

i have heard of the torch trick before...good tool to have incase hair does get on the meat...but if your careful you can keep hair off your meat...

The guys from outdoor edge use the torch method to take off any extra hair. Just picked up their DVD on deer processing, its worth the money.

If you gut and skin a deer correctly you won't have more than a couple hairs on the hole carcass. If you're getting so much hair on it that you have to have a bonfire,.... you're skinning wrong.

the blow torch thing works really well, have been doing it for years. Only we don't use a little one, we use a blow torch kind for sidewalks in the winter, they work great and do not ruin the meat.
