GOLFBALL SKINNING TRICK???????
Can someone explain the GOLFBALL skinning trick to me? I have read a few posts about it and have not a clue? THANKS

RE: GOLFBALL SKINNING TRICK???????
Basically you cut the skin free around the neck and hooves with the deer hanging by it's neck.
Free the skin a few inches below your cut. Take a rock or golfball and place it inside the loose skin and push out so you can clearly see the imprint of the ball/rock in the hids. Tie a rope around that pushed out piece of hide with the ball/rock still in it. Make sure your knot is tight. Tie the other end of the rope to a truck/4-wheeler/tractor. Slowly drive forward and the deer will pretty much skin itself. NOTE: Make sure whatever the deer is hanging from is strong enough to withstand the pull!!! Here are some videos demonstrating different variation on the theme: Video 1 Video 2 Video 3 #3 is probably a bit faster than I would do it, but it seems to work fine for them. Here's a website that explains it all step by step really well with pics. |

Yep, video #2 and #3 are pretty much how we do it too. We cut the legs off right before the knee joint and make slits along the hide. We also use a dog choke collar instead of a rope around the rock and then a chain. But it works just as good either way.

Watched the videos and the interest is up. Just might give it a try this year. Now if someone could give a hint like that on plucking geese I would be in the money,

I've seen someone pull the head clean off, although I'm pretty sure he didn't make the cuts correctly
