Every years for the past four or five. A bit of prep but works great, no hear or cut in the meat.
I watched a moose get skinned by basically the same method. A rock, moose hung by an excavator and hide pulled off with a truck....
Did that for the first time last year , a friend showed me , tied deer to a tree then to my truck and a clean tarp under it to flop onto …skinned in about 30 second's worked great.
4 wheeler and some chain
Have used an atv to do it in the past.
Well that really simplifies the process, thanks for posting.
I like doing it by hand :D
Had some guys at my camp try to tell me this was faster and better I called bs so we found out with 4 deer on the pole we had a little race by the time they got a tarp golf ball four wheeler and the deer hung just right 4 wheeler hooked up and whatever else me and a buddy were done one and starting another not even close. If you can sharpen a knife well know how to use it and aren't afraid to realy pull the hide at the right time/place there is no need to mess around with all that.
Doesn't this method work best, when the animal is fresh and hasn't been hanging for a day or two?
We did it at the cottage awhile back on some roadkill, turned out great! Then my buddy tried it last year but got a bit excited and tore off a rear hind in the process. When he took it to the butcher the guy was like "must of been an easy shot, was he laying up against a tree so he could keep upright?" too funny.
I agree with fishinchris. I had a old butcher show me this when he came to my place to do the butchering of 2 deer. By the time he had the legs ready and all the rest ready while we timed it and I did the other deer while he was cutting the other. I think I did it in less time.
Now if you have a bunch to do and guys helping you I think it would save time in the long run with a bunch of deer.
Yes, my old boss told me it works best before the animal cools downQuote:

Do you clean out the innards first?
Yes. And it doesn't matter how long you hang it for, it always works great.Quote:

Iil stick to the old way. Im not that strapped for time that I can't enjoy the process.

Skin it around the neck would have help, it takes a bit of prep. We have been doing many deer that way and it never went wrong.Quote:

The neck of a rutting buck is the slowest part. The rest of the deer wouldnt take more than ten minutes if the deer is warm. By mysef the conventional way only burns half an hour.Quote:

I know some people that wait until the hunt is over for the day then do all the deer together and it is certainly tougher once the deer has fully stiffened up.
Has anyone ever skinned a Moose like this?
You seem like you are good with your knife and that's great. We have done it both way and that's the only way we do it now, it's faster and the butchers love it.Quote:

There is a lot of force there if that skin doesn't want to peel right off. We did a big buck a few years ago this way and had some meat come off with the skin.
