Skinning a deer with some rope, a golf ball and a pickup truck. I gotta admit, I was skeptical. But the proof is in this video.

I have seen it done with a tennis ball and a baseball before also. I have never tried it though
The first time I saw it done, I couldn't believe it. I've since done this many times.
Far better than the video though IMO is if the deer is hanging at working height in the fork of a good solid tree. That way when it's skinned, you have gravity working in your favor. It's a piece of cake to cut your back straps, drop your quarters etc.

Wow, that's impressive. I wonder how somebody figured this out? I wonder what other methods were tested and failed. lol

We use a similar approach while the deer is hanging, tennis ball in place of the golf ball. Instead of a truck we use an ATV, connect the electric winch to the tennis ball tie and pull the skin off. Works like a charm.

Have you ever heard the term "Mule Skinner"?

I've been doing this for years. Truck, lawnmower, 4 wheeler, it all works. Now I have a more permanent setup with a winch but the concept remains the same

That method is also suitable for pulling the porch off your ex-wife's house ... or your own. (There are plenty of stout trees in the background ... and yet they chose a carport support post as the anchor ...)
LOL, and right you are!!!

Well, if things went in another direction, they would have another type of Youtube video to post. Either way, they win.

Many just use a rock, it works well.

I've used both and the golf ball is way easier to tie and keep a knot around under the hide. Just my experiences.

That deer seems to still have its internals. It would make "de-gloving" go more smoothly. Also, the sooner the better, preferably before rigors sets in.

Yes. I also hang mine to age for a few days so the hide is harder to get off. The main reason I switched to this method was because I got tired of skinning cold deer and cussing at them for 30 min or so.
