That will work!
That is the scaled up way I skin squirrels, just no truck involved and starting at the opposite end...

So what the rope is tied around its head corrrect then you put hooks or what inside the skin line at the neck area?

I've seen it done with a golf ball. Insert it under the skin, and tie the rope around it. Go.

Re: how we skin deer in the evergreen state [graphic ]
Yeah, golf ball or a small rock if you are still in the field. Tie it around the neck and use the mechanical leverage of the truck to skin it. You gotta cut the skin on the inside of the legs too up to the center of the body. The shoulders are the hard part, after that it comes apart pretty easy.

Same way I skinned my last one. Tied the head to a tree, grabbed rock for under the hide on back of neck. Rope, truck, Pull, and all done.

Re: how we skin deer in the evergreen state [graphic ]
it works very well , im hoping to try it on elk this year.
i wouldnt recomend the truck for squirrels ,prolly overkill.lol
a rock or anything close to golf ball size helps the rope , get a good purchse
and no the truck pictured is not mine

Re: how we skin deer in the evergreen state [graphic ]
i really prefer to wait i remove as much meat as possible before gutting ,less mess and it is lighter and easier to handle.

The only reason to gut is to get the minuscule amount on meat inside... I say let the 'yotes get the stinkin guts!

Works well on elk as well. We lay down a tarp and run between a parked truck and the mobile truck

BTW, you really don't need to do all the cutting down the belly of on the legs. Just ring the neck and let 'r' rip.

I'm pretty sure it'll work on just about anything TB68.
If your wanting to keep teh hide, such as in your case of the Bison, I would definately cut down the belly and ring the legs.
On deer and elk, the skin around the neck will usually just stretch around the whole body and you just pull off one big "sock" of skin in one piece.

Re: how we skin deer in the evergreen state [graphic ]
I gut them right away, and prop open the chest so the cold air can get in.
If they must be drug a long way, sew the chest back up.
I put a tarp in the vehicle, to catch the blood.
I skin them when they are hanging in the shop.
I can pull the hide off with my bare hands.
It only takes a minute.

Thats the way we did it when I was young in TN. Wrap the skin around the rock and yank.

If you don't gut them I guess you leave the tenderloins...what a shame.

Re: how we skin deer in the evergreen state [graphic ]
I hang them up by the back legs and skin them with my hands. Then I debone the hindquarters, take out the backstraps, cut off the front shoulders, and then cut the skin next the the hindquarters so I can get to the tenderloins. I cut them out without gutting the deer. After getting them hung up it only takes about 7 minutes. I will not gut one again unless its going to be several hours before I can clean it or if I have to drag it a long way.

Re: how we skin deer in the evergreen state [graphic ]
Better yet find a young phkr to do it for ya! I carry some younger gents with me and have learned with much enjoyment how to goad the younger crowd into skinning and working up my deer simply requires a 12 pack of PBR. Though its kinda weird the way they get all fired up about it, guess we're from different formats, I had figured out that shit was work at age 6.

I don't want the wife to thaw a package I made, and then bitch at me, "I want it CUBED!"
I am going to start taking the deer to a processor again.

a TERRIBLE shame. a few drops of blood on my fore arms is WELL WORTH getting to the tenderloins. We gut them in the field and skin and bone them back home.
