Using My Squirrel Skinner

[@uglyapplehomestead1310]

Dear every dude that feels the need to point out that they can skin a squirrel faster than me. Congratulations. You're probably right. I don't know what kind of validation you think you get from telling strangers you're a better squirrel skinner than them, but the rest of us don't really care. To the ones that have actually given good tips (wet the squirrel down, use snips, etc), thanks for doing so without being rude and condescending.

Dont give into the trolls and bullies. Do what you like and be proud of your squirrel skinning mount!

[@darugdawg2453]

I just give em a look and they undress those squirrels

[@noyzmunky]

I literally just started skinning squirrels and I honestly think you have complicated a very easy thing. For training or for people cant exert the force necessary this would be a god send, but it's not the most straight forward item

[@frankspivey3920]

Bobby lofton. Under 45 seconds

[@joha_21]

Fun video :D

[@boonedog1457]

I use Electricians scissors. They are heavy duty and can literally cut any bones the squirrel has, including his head. An interesting invention. You should patent this device and sell it.

[@dwhunter8904]

These have been commercially made and sold for years. They have several different names. Hunters helper is one, The squirrel cleaning buddy is another. Ridge Runner outdoors sells them on face book. I made my own out of a old traffic sign. Very easy to make. Good video bud.

[@markbutler2444]

We still cut the fur across the back, slip your fingers in and pull both directions,,fur will peal up to neck and almost all the way back over the hind legs,,,,

[@floydlenz2280]

I noticed in the comments nobody said well done on the shooting.. So I will.. I've eaten enough shattered bones and bloodshot meat to appreciate a well shot squirrel.. Congrats Amigo enjoy your meal.. Nice setup on that jig too.

[@benjicooper4738]

It does help wetting them down 👌 but no matter what buddy we all mess up every now and then on the tree-rat 👍 great video buddy 😊 new sub here 🤜🤛

[@LDBoone]

Nice. I use the tail skinning method as well by standing on it. Having both hands free would be a huge bonus. Nice recovery after cutting off the tail, this device made child's play out of a bad situation. Also appreciate how you keep as much hair off as possible

[@johnvarnes43]

WOW great tool for skinner

[@donaldjones5701]

I’m seeing this video a year later but do u happen to sell those skinning jigs? If so I’d be interested in buying one from u! Good video by the way!

[@uglyapplehomestead1310]

I do not sell them. I just made this one in my garage for me and the kids to use. If you look around on Amazon or eBay someone is usually selling a version like this.

[@davidalainpayette8895]

I want one.

[@frankpalermo9307]

Nice shot

[@markopolo5695]

That's a good piece of kit did you make it or buy it? also a good video pal

[@uglyapplehomestead1310]

Thanks for the kind words. I made it in my garage from scrap metal. I found the plans online somewhere. I can't remember where now.

[@tonynapoli5549]

Well that’s a nice gatget I clean mine free hand works for me, all good too know. Good eating

[@KC9RXP]

Any chance I could get the dimensions on this? Got a plasma and press, and would love to have one of these. Or, sell me one. Either way.

[@uglyapplehomestead1310]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIu9ZayqaLZog68 I'm sure you could make one prettier or better than mine. I think the original plans I found in an old magazine were supposed to have larger foot holes, but I don't remember what they were supposed to be.

I would love to be able to 3D print one of these, and I would happily pay a license fee of sorts for you to share your design.

[@uglyapplehomestead1310]

I've only seen them in metal, but that doesn't mean that one couldn't be printed. I slapped this together in my garage, so the design is just in my head. If you look around the internet you can find measurements for making one of these. If you have success making one let me know on here and I'll pass that on to my buddy with a printer.

As far as I know no one is selling them. They're pretty easy to build if you've got a welder or have a handy friend that does metalwork.

Way to make a fast job slow with gadgets

[@denmar355]

Way too slow. It’s a lost skill these days. Should take about three minutes the old way.

[@uglyapplehomestead1310]

Well, you're kind of wrong. It's not a lost skill. There's loads of guys out there still that can skin in a squirrel in 30 seconds or less while blindfolded with one hand tied behind their back while riding a tiltawhirl. Most of them are in the comment section here complaining about me skinning squirrels too slowly.

[@Danndy_YT]

Th meat inside of it does not look delicious ugh 😖😖😫😫😫

[@TheRoadhammer379]

keep eating your hormone injected meat, dummy

[@UFOCurrents]

This is just embarrassing. 😐

[@uglyapplehomestead1310]

I don't cut and edit videos to make myself look like a rockstar at everything I do. Maybe that's embarrassing to some, but not me. Being rude in KZbin comments is embarrassing where I'm from.

[@snakeman48]

Do you sell these? Nicest way to hold the animal and be able to use both hands.

[@uglyapplehomestead1310]

Snakeman 48 I do not sell these. There are several styles for sale out there from different manufacturers. For the price though, I'd try to make one yourself. If you've got access to a welder and grinder you can make one happen pretty easy.

[@donaldsipes1791]

Wet the squirrel down either with a water hose or a bucket of water before you start skinning. Helps a whole lot with the hair.

[@uglyapplehomestead1310]

That's a great tip! I knew to do that when butchering rabbits, but for some reason never carried that over to squirrels. Thanks!

[@kevbew63]

Maybe that would help if I used the thing he had in the video. I normally step on the tail and pull the legs. By the time I'm cutting the leg skin off the friggin fur is all over.

[@shelbyburgey884]

I can't skin a squirrel faster than you or can't skin one cleaner either!! lol I have cleaned a lot of them through the years and I am looking for different ways now that I am handicapped. Your holder is the best set up I have seen yet! Thank you!

[@grdelawter4266]

I read other comments before I decided to comment. I think everyone has their own way of skinning the squirrel and they believe it’s right but I’m trying to learn. Thank you for the video

[@kevbew63]

This looks like it would make the process simpler. Although I don't have major issues with the way I do it except the friggin fur always gets all over. Wetting it didn't help much. Any other suggestions to deal with the fur would be great. It's a nightmare to get off later.

[@michaelsnelling8302]

U need a sharper knife, I would buy one

[@fredflintstone6163]

[@denisdegamon8224]

Wasn't commenting on the item or technique just that it would go quite a bit easier if your blade was sharp. I wasn't trying to be critical.

[@fricholas7608]

Where do i get one? 😊

[@rpm2dayg648]

They're usually up in the trees.😝

[@carfvallrightsreservedwith6649]

I use game shears just so I can keep an edge on knife longer.

[@uglyapplehomestead1310]

That's a smart move.

[@Danndy_YT]

How evil you are to kill and skin the squirrel I can't believe you 😒😒

[@larrymbouche]

I didn't see any mention at the end where he cuts off the genitalia at the crotch. You need to remove 2 glands at the rear crotch area. Just make a V shaped cut between the legs up to the apex of the tail. Not much meat, but those glands will make the meat really musky. The glands are one on each side of the anus. If you don't like the squirrel meat, that's probably why.

[@adamlawrence3427]

That looks way easier than how I do it! But I've been trying to save pelts so the meat gets pretty hairy sometimes. Not the best. Definitely want one of those squirrel skinners! Thanks for the video. God bless you and your family.
