nice video. why not eat the skin by removing the hair first? what we usually do is pour boiling hot water over the skin and scrape all that hair off so none of the meat and skin would go to waste.

@thebigrich112 Haha, I'm pretty sure our butcher would soil himself if we brought in a wild pig with skin! We always just get sausage anyway. How long does that usually take? Thanks for subscribing!

@rebellords74 Ha! Thanks! It's just part of life, man. We've been doing it since rocks were soft. lol

@DoctaMonsta1010 Who said it was all eaten up? Still have 50 lbs of sausage!

@mojoeshaw I'll consider it! Thanks for subscribing and for the input!

@TheProRancher One idea may be to have someone slicing as you go which would still make skinning extremely fast by eliminating stopping every few seconds to pull the skin down. I still think your way is great for those times when you're without a vehicle of any kind. Good ideas all around and maybe someday you can post a video trying the new method. Good luck and thanks for being open minded. Maybe we can do business on a hog hunt.

@mojoeshaw Very true and I could see trying that with deer, but I've noticed when I try to pull down the hide on a pig it always starts to tear into the meat. They just have a tougher more attached hide as you know and deer have a lighter hide that usually slips off easier.

@TheProRancher I'm no expert and I think everyone needs to know how to do it your way especially for mounts and such but we found more fat stays on the body and not on the skin which, as you know, makes a caping job easier with less fat to remove. Shoulder mounts are easier as long as you remember to split the back of the front legs and then you can peel up to the neck, cut off the head and then your taxidermist can use his skilled hands to remove the skull. Quick and easy for multiple skinning.

@mojoeshaw Hmmm, interesting.

Too much time. We do deer and hogs the same way in Southern Illinois. We start the same when skinning but once we get down a few inches, we take a rock, rope and tractor and tie the rock under the outer skin with one end of the rope. throw the other end over a strong branch and attach it to a tractor. Then its a matter of driving slowly away. You can do that with a ATV or truck as well. Works fast and clean. Easier to clean the excess fat off too when it's all a big chunk.
