    Dear every dude that feels the need to point out that they can skin a squirrel faster than me. Congratulations. You're probably right. I don't know what kind of validation you think you get from telling strangers you're a better squirrel skinner than them, but the rest of us don't really care. To the ones that have actually given good tips (wet the squirrel down, use snips, etc), thanks for doing so without being rude and condescending.

      I literally just started skinning squirrels and I honestly think you have complicated a very easy thing. For training or for people cant exert the force necessary this would be a god send, but it's not the most straight forward item

    These have been commercially made and sold for years. They have several different names. Hunters helper is one, The squirrel cleaning buddy is another. Ridge Runner outdoors sells them on face book. I made my own out of a old traffic sign. Very easy to make. Good video bud.

    I use Electricians scissors. They are heavy duty and can literally cut any bones the squirrel has, including his head. An interesting invention. You should patent this device and sell it.

    Nice. I use the tail skinning method as well by standing on it. Having both hands free would be a huge bonus. Nice recovery after cutting off the tail, this device made child's play out of a bad situation. Also appreciate how you keep as much hair off as possible

  • @donaldsipes1791

    Wet the squirrel down either with a water hose or a bucket of water before you start skinning. Helps a whole lot with the hair.

      @kevbew63 ปีที่แล้ว

      Maybe that would help if I used the thing he had in the video. I normally step on the tail and pull the legs. By the time I'm cutting the leg skin off the friggin fur is all over.

    This looks like it would make the process simpler. Although I don't have major issues with the way I do it except the friggin fur always gets all over. Wetting it didn't help much. Any other suggestions to deal with the fur would be great. It's a nightmare to get off later.

    @larrymbouche 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I didn't see any mention at the end where he cuts off the genitalia at the crotch. You need to remove 2 glands at the rear crotch area. Just make a V shaped cut between the legs up to the apex of the tail. Not much meat, but those glands will make the meat really musky. The glands are one on each side of the anus. If you don't like the squirrel meat, that's probably why.
