How to remove hair from meat
Woody roberts:
I know this is an old post but as long as there are critters to kill and eat there will be hair to deal with.
Ive used a pressure washer in the past and it worked pretty good.
However for several years I’ve been brine curing my deer and by the time that’s done most of the hair has floated off.
Not sure why but I tend to get less hair on my meat while skinning than many people I see do. I believe it’s the way I use my knife.

YUP! And a new season is upon us! The torch method only works if you are near the torch! I think there is a flame spreader for the bernzamatic torch, but the added weight may not pass muster.

I don't get much hair on mine as a rule, if you will cut the hide from inside out on the hams neck and shoulders you don't get much loose hair, what I do get I just pick or rinse it off before packaging or if it is bad enough I do Like Bob, hit it with a torch. :)

I always seem to get a lot of hair on my meat. Probably because I'm a klutz. Oh well, I wish I had that problem this year. No hoofed critters for me. :-\ But once we get moved and settled in, the bunnies better look out.

While I don’t have much trouble with deer I cut up my first Antelope today. No real problems but they are a lot harder to keep hair off than deer.
I use my knife from the inside out but their hair slips so easy.
