Has anyone ever used an air hose to help skin a pig? I tried it last night and it seemed to help a ton. The 1st pig took a little longer due to 1st time trying it but, by the 3rd pig we were done in nothing flat.

Nope I make quick work of them with a knife

I do it on Hogs and Deer, it make skinning them a whole lot easier. I just cut a slit in there leg and stick the nozzle in there and it helps seperate the skin from the meat.

I've heard of using a baseball to skin deer. I've always to see it work. I'm not suprised that you can use an air hose. Any chance you got some pics or maybe a video. Anything to make skinning them suckers easier.

I was going to take pics but my phone went dead, I'll take pics on the next one after Thanksgiving weekend.

Me skinning my pigs didn't look nearly as good as the video. Now I'm itching to kill another just to see if I can copy them...
Thanks for the video jshaw...

Here is an article about a guy from New Zealand that had an air hose puncture his skin at work.

Do that aritcle is crazy. That would suck!

I use a golf ball to skin my animals. Just tie rope around a golfball under the skin and tie the other end to a 4wheeler or vehicle. Works very well. Never tried the airhose, will have to try that.

We skin our squirrels using that method.

Never thought about doing it on a hog or a deer.

Hog hides are heavy enough to help you if you slit them down the spine.

Also use the rock&truck method to jerk the hide off deer.

Good luck, with it .

That's pretty cool, never tried that always just use a knife. When I was a kid though we used to do alot of coyote huntin' & my friends dad would always tie them off to a tree & use his truck to pull the skin off in one swoop. No knife cuts through the hide doing them that way, he used to sell the hides.
