** Blowing up a deer ** must see video ( trust me it is cool )

[starpuss]

To loosen the skin of a deer from it's body, you cut a hole in the leg and use an air compressor to blow it up.

looks like a good idea. have your tryed? it

Its slick, but I like the old way.

All those long nights on the trap line wasted! I just needed an air compressor!

Sure, if you want to leave the guts in your deer until you get to an air compressor.......

well i take it the deer would have to be hot still to do this, it is ok to leave the guts in it for 2-3 hrs , most ppl will go home after they get 1 deer

How come it's isn't blowing spew from the bullet hole? I'm with Levi, I'll use my knife. Besides buy the time I get it to a compressor whole, I won't want to eat if.

That is how they did it at this one animal recycling place on Dirty Jobs (was the last episode I think). They cut a slit and pumped her full of air and you could see the skin separating.

That's actually how they skin ostriches as well. They get the leather in one piece and no damage. I've seen it done and it's pretty cool.

I've seen that done on a duck on iron chef. Very cool effect after cooking it too.

Its a neat idea, also seen guys on youtube do it with their pick up truck

You've seen 2 guys doing IT with a pickup truck?

I mean, I love my truck but I think my wife would be jealous.

 

[martinbns]

I would get the guts out of it first.

 

[starpuss]

well i think i am going to give it a test next deer i get. lol

 

[daniellybbert]

good way to skin yotes

 

[Brian46]

interesting, and I got a compressor on my truck......

 

[beefman]

Had a Greek guy that used to come to the farm to buy a lamb every summer...thats the way he skinned it...worked great.

 

[northwoodslivin]

interesting

Interesting, I know lots of guys who skin before they gut, these are guys who can be home with the deer and have it hanging in 15 minutes. I'll have to mention it to them. I don't have a good way to deal with the guts if I take mine home whole, so I leave them in the field, no matter how fast I can be home. Skinning first does work well though, you can case them like a coyote, keeps down the amount of hair you have to clean off very considerably.

years ago I shot a nice fat two point on opening day [early september]I went back to the camp, got breakfast for my wife and kids then went back ,maybe a couple of hours later and gutted the deer-which was just starting to bloat.It should have been excellent,but it just wasn't good,and I never made that mistake again-I gut them immediately and get the hide off and cooled down as soon as I can.

Looks like it could help make the skinning a lot easier with less pulling. Lately we've been doing the deboning of meat right on the deer without gutting it first. Saves a ton of time and cleaning. Easier clean up afterwards too.
