I heard of people skinning rabbits, squirrel, pheasant, and grouse in just a few minutes. Well i did my first pheasants the other day and it too over an hour. I skinned 3 squirrel and it took me 2 and a half hours. I know theres tricks to "GIT R DONE" so what are they.

I remove the head, lower leg & wings from the phez first, then starting by the head, just pull the skin down, should only take a few minutes. Not sure about squirrel as I don't hunt them.

squirrels and rabbits you cut the skin across the back put one hand in each side then pull. If they are still warm it helps a great deal. For squirrel there is no easy about it.

i always throw corn meal on birds when i skin them for taxidermy work. this does two things 1 it absords all the extra moister and blood, it kinda clumps up for ya 2 gives ya a little extra grip to pull stuff apart

Thanks everyone. Defenitly cut down the back to the tail and pull the skin/fur down around to the under side woorkked great and fast. It was much harded when I let one cool off so it is best when warm.
