Head up for me.
Cut the lower legs off and one slice around the neck and they will peel like a banana with minimal knife use no hair getting on the meat.
That's the way a local deer processor showed me and I'll never go back to the traditional gambrel.

John,

I thought I was die hard head down, but do hate scraping hair off... can't imagine that around the neck makes that much difference... those hock tendons do make for a nice job...

I peel the bark off soon as I can... including legs below elbow all around, head too!  I skin up to the ears cause I love neck meat roasts...make my Mince meat with neck  meat!

Always cut out the windpipe, any blood shot meat and then let hang in a cool environment for 3 days rubbed down with Crisco to keep meat from drying out... doesn't turn rancid in freezer like animal fat!
