Skinning a Deer with a Golf Ball and a Pickup Truck

Yes, another way to skin a deer: a golf ball, a pickup truck, and some rope.

Hunters take pride in gutting, skinning, and butchering our own deer, and like most hunters we have our tried and true methods of getting the job done. That's not to say that hunters are not always on the look out for improvements and new methods, but was very shocked at the efficiency of this particular technique.

It doesn't take much; just a golf ball, a thick rope, a sturdy pillar and a good ol' truck with a hitch.

You can see the video here, it starts with a quick tutorial using a ball, a towel (signifying the deer skin), and a rope, just to get down the basics of the skinning. Next you'll see the real deal in action. See skinning the deer here.

I’ve been using this method for years...works great!

[Smokin' Joe]

Nice. That’s another use for a golf ball besides pistol targets.

[crusty old prospector]

I’ve seen it done this way before.

Rock, tractor.
Rock, ATV.
Ball, Jeep.

I actually thought everybody used this method.

The real trick is to have a good anchor.

I agree with the comment posted below the video, that’s the most redneck thing I’ve ever seen! LOL

[gorush]

Yup. We use a second truck as the “pillar”.

[PLMerite]

Think how much faster it would be if you hooked it up to a Lamborghini.

Yes, they do.

This is ingenious! I’ve skinned just a few but it’s no fun the “old fashioned way”.

[Envisioning]

Definitely going to try that next time.

Golf ball is the best there is for teaching a kid to shoot a .22 rifle too.

I foresee many pulled down carport posts. Use a tree or another vehicle.

[lefty-lie-spy]

That was phenomenal. I love it!

Compressed air works well on gators.

So have I. I normally use a small rock and my UTV. It’s fast and all you have to do is make some small cuts.
