Looks simple. Hopefully it's as simple for me. :) thanks.

Thats the way I have done it since i was a kid with a couple exceptions. When pulling up,with your foot on the tail, stop before pulling his shoulders through. While keeping your foot on his tail, pull the hide off the lower legs (his pants if you will) and then go ahead and pull the shoulders and front legs through and cut off the head. This will make it easier to remove the hide on the lower legs(pants) of tougher squirrels. All I have locally are fox squirrels and they certainly skin a little tougher than greys.
Also I think he used the outside of his foot to hold the tail down, I seem to have better control and pressure to keep the tail from slipping out by using the ball of my big toe (boot on of course.lol) to hold the tail down. Just my thoughts hope it helps. |
I just started doing it that way a couple years ago! Its allot faster! Here is my youtube video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBwx...qjIV4ojP3Rd6vw

been skinning them exactly that way for 30 years, my mother in law will not prepare squirrels unless I skin them.
I've described it, but that's the first video I have saw that emphasizes the cut around the flank that makes it so much easier. My mom always requested that I skin them when I was living at home due to my dad and brother having perfected the art of removing a squirrels skin and leaving most of the hair, opening days I have skinned 20 or more RR |
I save the feet for a crunchy snack for my dogs.
They love them. |
nice video thanks.

All the video's I've seen are with gray squirrels. I would like to see one with fox squirrels!! They skin much harder than a gray. I still use the slit in the back method on a fox squirrel myself.

I'll give it a try next time I get some. Tried it once an pulled off the tail, but didn't have as much to step onto as you suggest...

Skinning squirrels is a lot harder than it looks. Especially if there is not enough squirrel under your foot. Nice job buddy

thanks for this vid

Squirrel Cleaning
That was awesome!
It will be my new method of cleaning squirrels. |
I actually tried this. I shot two greys and a fox squirel.
Its harder than it looks or maybe there is just getting a hang to it. Once grey popped and shot blood all over the garage floor, but skinned out. The fox squirrel was a no go. The tail ripped right off the hide and I put the tag of the skin where the tail was in the metal vise and started yanking and he skinned out. I needed a beer after performing that skinning on the fox squirrel. :D |
