Good days hunt.Missed 2 taking tough shots.Used the skinng method discussed in a thread below....it works.Three large male fox squirrels and a smaller female.Cold and stiff seemed to be easiest in my opinion as they skinned completely to the nose.

As a side note make sure to skin back legs outwhen the skin gets to the front legs or you dont have anything to pull against.

I boiled in water with Worcestershire Sauce and 1 yellow onion ,salt, and pepper for 1.5 hours.Then fried them in the skillet brown.Then baked them on a pizza pan with foil covering for 1.5 hrs at 300 degrees turning once 45 minutes into the bake.No batter or flour involved at all.Delicious.

Mickberger- I skin my squirrels and rabbits the same way-Using a shark knife or a guthook blade, I cut right down the middle of the back- neck to tail. Using my fingers I work the skin off the ribs and legs as much as possible and then holding the body in one hand, pull the hide down until you have just feet, tail and head left in the skin. 6 quick cuts and you had a nekid critter ready to gut with no hair on it!

I usually scrape some hair off their back about a quarter to a third of the distance up from the tail. I then cut the skin all the way around him and pull the skin off the front half and then pull the skin off the back half. That's the way my step dad and uncle did it years ago and I'm still using that method today. Make sure to take out the glands under the front legs.

Hey guys, Ill have to try that. Ive always secured thier head to a post with a little baling wire, cut the skin around the neck, and then peeled off the skin to the tail and feet. I might have to try your way, seems like it might be faster than mine.

You want quick'n easy?-
