Correct..I still punch/pull off any pelts if I'm lucky to hang a whole deer in my garage etc. Unfortunately most deer I manage to put down are usually a long way from any road end. I spent a few seasons as a pelter at a freezing works once punching off sheep pelts..every 8th lamb...all f***in day. A very simple procedure once learnt.

Yep the old freezing works skills sure come in handy when dealing with game carcases
