How to Skin a Deer
Video: How to Skin your Deer
SKINNING
When skinning a deer it can either be hung head up or head down. I now skin mine head down. But if head up then begin by making a circular cut around the deer's neck. Connect this cut with the cut made in the stomach during field dressing. Remove the hide by grasping the skin and pulling down hard with both hands. Use your knife carefully when freeing the hide from the carcass to avoid cutting the skin. If the flesh begins to pull off with the skin, stop pulling and try again after cutting the flesh back with the knife.
NOTE: If the cape is to be saved, you can cut the middle and rear portion of the hide free by starting skinning just behind the shoulder and working down from there.
When you have the hide down around the shoulders you will have to cut off the front legs with a hacksaw just above what you would think is the deer's knees. Then on the inside of the deer's legs cut toward the chest and connect this cut with the one made up through the chest and abdomen during gutting. After you work the hide free around the front legs with a knife. You can continue to work the hide down the deer's back towards its feet and tail.
Once you get the hide down around the deer's tail, simply cut the tail off with a knife. Let me say this again. When you are pulling and cutting the hide from the deer and you can see that the hide is now coming off of the tail, you can now simply cut the tail free. This cut you understand is not through hide but only through the tailbone itself because you have pulled the hide down far enough so that it exposes the tailbone under the hide. That's a long explanation for something simple just so you will not get confused. Continue until you get the hide down around the deer's tarsal glands (the dark patches on the inside of the hind legs) then take a saw and cut through the leg just above the tarsal gland.
By now you are tired from unpacking, driving, getting up early and dragging the deer out of the woods, skinning and gutting. But you are not finished yet. You must still store the meat for butchering. I will not go into great detail at least not today but this is how I do it. I first cut out the backstrap and tenderloins out and place in an ice chest. Then I cut the front legs free (no bones to cut) and place them in an ice chest. Then I cut the back hindquarters free with a knife. You can works a hindquarter free with just a knife if you work your way to the ball and socket joint that holds the hindquarters to the hips. Just work the point into this joint and work around the ball.
Once both tendons are cut the hindquarter will be free. Place any other meat such as ribs and neck into the icechest. Now place a bunch of ice in the icechest with the meat. I am now totally exhausted from all the work. So I am in no mood to begin butchering the deer. So I usually wait a couple of days before I begin butchering.

The Most Important AR-15 Pistol Questions
These answers are from the A.T.F. So they are good.
Question # 1: Am I able to legally construct this lower receiver into an AR-15 type pistol?
A: Yes, since you are utilizing a receiver that has never been barreled as a rifle action, you may lawfully assemble a pistol. However, we advise you to confirm that assembly of such a pistol does not violate any State laws or local ordinances where you reside.
Q #2: Would I be required to register it as an NFA firearm with a tax stamp?
A: No.
Q #3: Do AR-15 type pistols have a restriction on barrel length?
A: No.
Q.#4: Would a 10-1/2 inch or 11-1/2 inch length barrel be allowed?
A: Yes.
Q #5: Can I use standard AR-15 type hand guards on the pistol?
A: Yes.

Food plots can be key to deer hunting
Food
plots can be a key ingredient to improving one’s deer hunting recipe.
Not only are they more nutritional, but they are also much more
productive than feeders dispensing corn, according to wildlife
biologists with the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. Carefully
designed and crafted food plots provide much more than just deer food.
They may actually increase your chances of successfully harvesting a
deer.
Cover is an additional needed ingredient, said Ralph Meeker, AGFC’s assistant deer program coordinator.
He
explained that deer much prefer situations that have two elements –
food and cover. “Deer spend a great deal of time eating and hiding from
predators. When these two key elements are provided in close proximity
that’s when you get the most ‘bang’ for your buck,” Meeker says.
“Providing this cover may be as simple as developing the edges that
surround your food plot in order to provide for edge habitat. That’s the
transitional area of brush and grass that differentiates the mature
timber from open spaces such as fields or food plots,” he added.
The
usual pattern for deer is to cautiously move from the woods to find
things to eat in the food plots. If the plot is ringed with an
assortment of bushes and shrubs, this helps the deer to stay out of
sight from assorted threatening elements, including two-legged types.
With
a large food plot, Meeker said, a suggestion is to leave or create an
island in the middle of the plot. This island can be a tree or two left
when plowing for the food plot, or it can be some bushes left or planted
in the middle of the food plot. This island can encourage deer to feed
across the plot and to the cover of the island.
Persons
wanting to create food plots can contact private land biologists of the
AGFC for suggestions and technical information, including on-site
visits. There is no cost for these services. Phone 800-364-4263 to
connect with a private land biologist. Private lands biologists also
have a network of partner agencies and professionals including
foresters, soil conservationists, grazing specialists, and fisheries
biologists, that can help with food plots and other conservation
practices on private lands.
