Skinning a Deer with a Golfball???!!!

Ingenuity at its finest! I had to watch it twice before I wasn't speechless...wow! Great find Rob :thumbup:
 
I used to use the golf ball method with the deer hanging in my garage. Maybe I just wasn't doing it right but the ball kept slipping out and launching out through the back of garage. When the deer would come loose from its skin, it would swing violently hitting everything it could--butchering table, router, bikes, innocent babies...

I stick with skinning/butchering in the field where they fall now. :)
 
This is an old technique. I've done it but similar to what Josh said....the real trick is it works a lot better on a deer that's been hanging awhile. A fresh kill is. More likely to rip apart.:(

Still very cool when done properly:)
 
It also depends how deer was taken.....a high power rifle broadside to chest and shoulder and you loose them in process too, and then it's a lot harder to salvage those parts.
 
I knew there had to be an easier way at the end of the day when you have 5 deer to skin the your legs are tired from walking all day and the beer is running out!
 
Went to Colorado on a hunting trip a couple years ago and the butcher/meat processor used a similar process.
His 'golfballs' were metal balls chained to the floor while the head was attached to an electronically operated hoist.
There was probably five of us there with out kills and it probably only took about 25-30 mins for all to be skinned.
Pretty amazing and very efficient.
