I'm glad to hear that your daughters thought it was funny also. Made me wonder if my daughter had a dark side.

FROM MY EXPERIENCE THis method works best on deer the have been killed within a couple hours (the closer to being shot the better). If you wait longer then a couple hours the skin ataches more to the meat and you end up pulling more meat off with the skin. if you notic the meat attaching to the skin then cut it free rather then pull off alot of meat with the skin. same goes if you have major wounds these areas need touchup trimming or you will loose alot of meat.

Gravity helps but freshs kills are the best

enjoy the great eating.

Very interesting observation. An eye opener!

Eaglet/Geergrinder,

Weil I'll be garsh darned. Never saw anything like that!!

However, I'm a bit concerned that my Habitat Invasion Vehicle (read suzuki sidekick) may not have the rumble or guts of that diesel rig. Maybe if I got on the down hill side?

Anyone ever tried that methon on a yote. A 10' pull rope would really help with the smell. Plus you could drag the hide a ways from the carcass.

Roy, I don't think you'd have any problems, that diesel truck I did never acce-
lerate it. I you have any problems with your suzuki sidekick, just have someone to help you buy just pushing it. That's all!

They do a similar thing to skin Kangaroos down here in Australia.
Make a small cut in the tail, insert a air hose and blow it up with compressed air like a football.
They then make a few cuts and latch on a hook. A winch then pulls the skin off clean.
The whole process only takes a minute or so. Handy when you have to skin hundreds of them.

We really never stop learning. Do we?

Thanks for posting, that's a good one!
