How To Skin A Deer
March 10, 2010While it may not be the most exciting job in the world, skinning a deer is important when returning from a hunt or when still actually on the hunt. This information will be handy for that day on which you will need to skin a deer.
Skinning a deer can take hard process if you are not experienced yet. But it will soon be easy if you follow the steps. Physically, deer has separate skin and muscle tissues that make it easier to skin.
Before skinning, you should hang the deer down so that the skinning process can be thorough and the meat can be cleaner. Basically, you should do skinning within two hours since the deer died to keep the meat fresh and healthy.
Take a shard knife and stab between the lower leg’s large tendon and bone. Keep focusing on the part and put your finger in to sense the lump.
Once you have found that lump, sever the lower leg at the lower end of the two parts of the double joint. Cut the skin and the tendons here and then snap the deer’s leg over your own leg, using your body’s leverage to break it.
