How To Skin A Deer
 |
Whether you like it or not, you will need to skin the deer you bring home after hunting in the wood. Skinning a deer can be easier if you know the relevant information, especially about their physical characteristics and organs.
First of all, skinning a deer is not that difficult as you imagined before. Deer has protective membranes that separate their skin and muscle tissues, which make it easier for the skinning process.
Hang the deer down to start the skinning process. This way, it is easier to clean the deer from dirt and dust it gets during the journey home, and also from the skin itself. Do not wait too long for the skinning. Two hours is the maximum time. If you wait more than two hours, the skin may be more difficult to drag and the meat will no longer be fresh.
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.
After you have broken the deer’s legs, make several incisions around and near the tendon areas. There should be a whole between the tendon and the bone of the lower leg, as well as several incisions near the front legs.
At the front legs, you also make openings at around the same parts. After that, get your hand inside the skin near the deer’s lower leg. Slowly but sure, pull the skin off.
Since deer’s skin is tight, you may find it hard to pull it off at the beginning. But the process will be easier after some parts are pulled. Just keep to the techniques.
Generally, it takes from 10 to 15 minutes to skin a deer. Otherwise, it can be longer if you are not experienced with the process. Skinning is also tiring. But real hunters just would not want to miss the step.
