Yep, that's the way Dad taught me 55 years ago  :D  ...Van

Yep that's the way it's done.  My uncle would have had a fit if I threw that squirrel head away like that.   Skin it, cut the eyes out and fry it.  Crack the head on the old camp table and dig em out with the butt end of a fork.  MMMM good.  The tongue and cheek meat is mighty fine too.

gonna try that this weekend if I shoot one

[deadpool]

hhmmmmm wonder if the same could be done for wabbits

[Tim Fishell]

Rabbits dont work so good that way.  The skin is much thinner on a rabbit than on a squirrel.

I cant believe how many hours i've wasted clening freaking bush tails! I guess i dont have to stress out about it any more! (made me think twice about shooting more than one or two!) i feel like a sucker

One of our own posted a home made vid clip of him skinnin on pretty much that same way as I recall.  I wasn't quite sure how t' git the back legs done...but if it's that easy...beware tree rats!  

Sure looked like dey was a bit stiffi-fied... I know any other method once they cool and stiffen, it's plumb sure a chore like skinnin a beaver pelt!

Man, That's awesome.  Haven't seen it done that way before.  Looks much easier.  Thanks for the vid.

I am very impressed by the video.  Who wudda thunk it....a government official that can do something other than tax us into oblivion.

My hat's off to Virginia.

domo arigato not too many squirrels out this way and we have no season, but when I hunt in Mo and KY it'll be primo

That's the way we do it around here, but it helps to have a bucket, log, etc. to put the squirrel on so you don't have to go all the way to the ground. I can skin eight (an Arkansas limit) pretty fast that way. If I have a partner, I skin, and he pulls guts. This way we don't get hair all over the dressed meat. If I'm alone, I skin them all first then finishing gutting last.

Yep, that's the way I learned way back when.
