I like that gadget, I have skinned many a squirrel by different methods and that looks like a sure fire tool to help keep the hair off. If I was still hunting squirrels much I would buy one for sure.

Have not tried koonts squirrel skinner but have been skinnin squirrels the way its shown in the dvd for many years. Like he says the secret is making the cut under the tail correctly. Done right and you can pull the skin off a young one in 15 to 20 seconds. I use diagonal wire cutters to cut the feet off.

I skin like these two but I use a pair of side cutters for the feet and vise grips on the belly flap. Gray squirrel are much easier to skin. Some of the old fox squirrels we have are as tough to skin as a deer.
This video reminded me Ive got a couple left in the freezer from last year that need fixin', squirrel and gravy sounds pretty good! mike

I used to chop the feet off but learned just to slice the joint. That way no bone splinters.

does the tail pull method work OK with cold/stiff squirrels?

The colder and older they are makes it tougher IMO. I'll take gallon size ziplock bags and hand wipes into the field and clean them right after I shoot them. All you need is your skinning knife and your catfish skinners. Then rinse them off and dice them up when I get back. Get in a good spot and one might pop up before you finish cleaning the first one trying to find his buddy or trying to figure out what your doing.

Posey I cut a 6" piece of wooden broom handle ,screwed a screw in each end and tied a 12' piece of small sash cord to each screw with a loop in the end. I put the loop around each hind leg and I can pull um in half. If you make the cut thru the tail correctly the skin will come off but the old cold ones are tough to skin. I carry this rig hunting with me and skin um right after I shoot um. Rusty |
