I can't tell you how many hides I tossed because I could not get them fleshed right. A video of a guy pressure washing the deer hide was on my feed yesterday so I did a check on YouTube and it is a real thing. Now I need to try it. Has anyone here done it? Pros? Cons?

It takes specialized equipment
Dedicated space
And a willingness to accept the mess.
And, unless you have the economy of scale to make all the above worthwhile...a beam, and proper fleshing knife is faster, easier, cheaper, and way less mess.
Try a Post fleshing knife first.
"Post" is the brand name.

I learned two things today. Don't try this on a day hovering in the 30s and a 1400 psi pressure washer wasn't doing the job.

LOL!! My taxidermist hired her husband to do some of the less specialized grunt work. Yup they pressure wash them all now. You should see the "area" after he has done a pile of bears...Phew!

I've done it multiple times on gator hides. Makes a giant mess, you will have chunks of meat and sinew in your hair if you don't wear a hat. But it is super effective.
Of note 3200psi injected through a 10 deg nozzle point blank into the back of your hand will earn you a nights stay in the ER…not that I've done that or anything….

I always wondered what those metal bracket things were on the wall at the carwash.
Pretty nice of them to put those up so a guy doesnt have to hold onto the hide as you pressure wash the fat off!
Kinda nice, too, since the mess is in THEIR garage, not mine!

Cover the camera first. Or your license plate.
