How to Skin Wild Game
- 1). Lay the animal on a slightly inclined ramp; place the head uphill.
- 2). Tie the genitals of male animals with string to prevent urine contamination in the meat.
- 3). Cut just underneath the skin from the beginning of the tail to the chin.
- 4). Saw off the hooves or feet of larger animals.
- 5). Cut beneath the skin of each leg starting at the foot or hoof and ending at the leg's joint.
- 6). Peel the skin up toward the head of the animal. Smaller animals' skins peel away like a coat. Larger animals have tougher hides that may require knives. If possible, slip the skin over the animal's head or simply saw off the head and peel the skin off the neck.
