You make a cut in one of the hind legs just under the skin, get an air pump and pump air it separates the skin from the flesh (basically the animal skin blows like a balloon).

Kinda a cool concept now that i know it exists. OP, I think You'd have some real difficulty with a hand pump (It'd probably just be more work than using a knife). You could pick up a small cheap compressor though (you can usuallly snag a cheapo for $50 on sale at crappy tire). Plug it in before you go hunting and the tank will store the compressed air (without power!) then hook it up to your critter of choice in the field!

It's not really faster. It just leaves a perfectly skinned carcass. It is meant for goats and sheep mostly. Must be done immediately after the kill. I would suspect a bullet hole(s) would defeat the procedure. I rmember an old Italian fellow butchering lambs at our farm. All he used was a small diameter hose and lung power. No compressor or anything. Worked well.

Ditto. In the very few vids that actually showed the skinning, they were still pathetically slow. I can have a deer skinned in 10 minutes even after 14 days of hanging. Now maybe on a snared coyote.

Ive heard of this novel skinning technique that involves two hands and a knife. Its petty simple actually. Lots of youtube videos on it.
30 seconds from first incision to clean carcass? Bull####. It takes them 10 times that to even get set up.

Well if you have to go get your compressor, plug it in, wait for the tank to fill, find your knife.....then ya.
But assuming you have a compressor full of air,and already dragged the yote back on the 4 wheeler to the garage then; cut ankle, insert ball inflater needle, electrical tape around incision, depress valve, slit belly wit a gut hook, take skin off like a used condom. Done.

the fastest way i have seen skin a deer is a rope and a atv. guys at camp did it.
-field dress deer
-cut skin from leg joint to gut
- cuff cut aroud the neck
-tie a golf ball by putting it under the hide and tieing on to it.
-tie one rope to atv-
-tie a rope from rack to atv
- drive opposite directions
- perfectly skinned deer drops onto tarp laying on ground.
looked like taking a jacket off. super cool
not including field dressing. took 10min to set up everything and do prep cuts on deer and deer hanging on the meat pole.

I've seen guys do this successfully. I've also seen a lot of torn meat from other guys trying to do it.
Personally, I'll stick with my knife. 5-10 minutes and I'm all done. To each, their own.
