With the June squirrel opening next weekend in KY,  I thought I'd cover how to skin a squirrel.   Most of you probably already do it this way, but in case you don't ya might want to give it a try.  It's worked for me for 40 years.

I make a cut around the hind legs up to the anus, cut the tail bone (not the tail!), step on the tail and pull the hind legs to zip him out of his skin. Pull the hind leg skin off and then cut off the paws. Do several squirrels like this before gutting them.  Cuts way down on the hair factor on the meat.

Here's a video by Mr. Squacks that shows how.  The link was posted on that other site.

best way I found ta "skin" a squirrel was a 55grn vmax at 3600fps     "sorry I couldn't resist works great out here since we can't eat em "
