Have you "skinned a deer with a golf ball?"
Read an article on a technique to skin a deer with a golf ball, by looping the hide with a rope attached to your truck.

and I thought it was pretty darned slick, do you have any experiences doing it this way?

That's the technique that my processor uses. He can jerk the hide off a deer quicker than I can skin a squirrel. Try it, you will like it. Especially when they are cold and the hide is hard to get off.

I was tired of skinning frozen deer,so i do them up right away.My son started skinning at a local processor this year and showed me a couple tricks.Then we bone them out the next day,take the straps,ang freeze the rest .After seasion i plug in the grinder and go to work. Anyway,the golfball trick works,but unless the deer is frozen i dont bother with it.

It does work...but come on it only takes a couple of minutes to skin a deer.
If you're doing one deer, I can skin it as fast from start to finish as doing it with a vehicle. All I do is grab a knife and go.
With a vehicle, you have to cut a ring around the neck, pull the meat back, tie the tennis ball in the hide, attach rope to vehicle and pull. When you're done, you have to put your stuff all away.
A frozen deer is a different critter, though. LOL
