Deer skinning

<< < (4/7) > >>

Pappy:
I agree cowboy,I haven't had one precessed in 25 years,One thing I don't think they are as
careful or do as good a job as you can do yourself with just a little time and also it cost $75.00
here now to get one cut up. :)

Last few years we have been getting deer processed by a butcher, but I have severe allergy to deer hide
so you can see the problem for me.

stickbender:
     That's how I do it also, but a friend used to hang them by the neck, and then skin aroung the neck and chest and front legs, and peel back the skin of the legs to the shoulder, and then tie a golf ball in the top portion of the partially skinned neck area, with a small strong rope, or cord, and tie the other end to a bumper of his truck, and pull the hide right off.  I worked pretty slick.  They used to do cows that way.

PK:
Good Morning Pappy, Do ya use  the raw hide skins for backings? Those make good drum heads too.
