Head down all the way.....I will try it head up next time....as for winching the hide off or pulling it off with an atv.....I trust my hand with a knife, and I personally feel there is too much new technology involved in the sport already....I like things to be simple and to be traditional in my hunting....but that's just my opinion and I don't expect any of you to have the same....I certainly don't want to start a head butting/toe stepping contest because of it!

I agree with what Fuzzy says, but, if I get lucky enough to get a moose permit I would try the atv or my truck as it will be a lot of work cutting it up.

Always hung from back legs and skinned toward head.

Head down for me.
Could someone explain what is the golf ball trick? My hands and a knife are usually enough!

Head down, boning out the meat as I go.

head up is the easiest and quickest way and cleanest way of skinning. I used to skin and butcher deer for a living.
