I didn't think skinning a deer was that involved, haha.
We always tie em up at the knee by the hind leg and work the skin off from there...very easy.

RE: Deer skinning question
I USE THIS TECHNIQUE, BUT IT'S IMPORTANT YOU DO IT WHILE THE ANIMAL IS STILL WARM. I HANG THEM UP SIDE DOWN AND START ON THE REAR FIRST. CUTTING AWAY FROM THE LIMBS AND THEN I SIMPLE PULL THE HIDE OFF WITH MY HANDS. USUALLY GETS TOUGH AROUND THE NECK AREA. BUT I HAVE PULLED OFF SEVERAL THAT WOULD OF MADE NICE FULL BODY CAPES TO USE ON A MOUNT. I USALLY HAVE HELP WHEN PULLING FROM A BUDDY.

RE: Deer skinning question
Remember to either cut around the legs or just chop them off at the ankle joint and elbow or the hide will not stretch over that part and WILL tear the deer apart at the spine or neck. Happened to me. I chop off the lower legs at the joints and slice the hide up to there.
