"Skin a deer with a golf ball."...............Oh, a rope, a Honda Pioneer, a knife and a tree.
Sad that American's never mastered basic English communication skills.
They hated the English for every thing else, surprised they kept the language.Quote:

Deer, sheep and goats I mostly work the skin off by hand (what's usually called punching the skin off, but punch ain't quite the right word).
When I was young I got told off if I used the knife on the main part of the skin, and big trouble if I actually put a cut in the skin!
they rebelled because the english demanded tax,,they just swapped tax mastersQuote:

An air compressor works well on turkeys and chickens, would probably do the business here as well.
That's how they do the dead calves for processing isn't it?Quote:

I usually clear the flanks, back legs, and shoulders, then pull the rest of the skin off with a rope around the towbar
Couple years back we had a summer worker. We were killing dog tuckers and he come up with the idea to use the air compressor. Seen it on youtube. So the boss said sounds good. You might as well shoot all the rams this won't take long, i went a head and shot a dozen rams. It was a freakin long afternoon i can tell you know. What ever he had seen didnt work on these rams. Never tried it againQuote:

Just dont over inflate or it gets a little messy. Over at Wallace's it was the rookies job to inflate, pretty sure everyone blew one up at least once, you can imagine the state of some of those dead calves....Quote:
