How to skin a deer when your parents ask for help

Step 5 Make cuts down the front legs

Once you have skinned down from the neck to the beginning of the legs, you will want to make cuts down the legs to the knees. After you have made your new cuts, continue separating the hide by cutting the membrane between the hide and the meat, all around the legs.

I choose to separate the hide from the genitals as we are going to use the hide. A deer has mother nature's perfectly seamless bag. There is no reason to waste it if you are already skinning the deer.

You'll need to repeat this leg hide cutting when you reach the back legs. Continue until the hide is free from the deer.
