Title: Air Skinning...???
Post by: Sportfury on January 30, 2010, 04:43:56 AM: I was in the trapping section last night and watch the video on skinning a coon. I thought that was pretty neat and decided to see what else was on you tube and I found a video about the airskinner. Have any of you heard about this? If I would have done this with that coyote last night it would have made it, so much more simpler.

Not sure why it is giving me an invalid link. It works when I preview it, but then it adds a bunch of stuff when I go to post it. Here is the actual link Air Skinner Demonstration (Full Version) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEJfBZAbtPU#)

One way or another it appears to work only before gutting and maybe only after cooling- neither is particularly good for deer taken anywhere not right next to a truck.
Did I miss something?

Post by: shoot-em-dead on January 30, 2010, 09:58:16 AM: Looks like they are having just as much trouble skinning that buck as I do and I never have used air. I guess I would have to try it before I made a desicion.

That is the way understand it too. Sounds like it would be pretty good to use on a coyote or anything you're not going to eat but it doesn't seem very good for deer. I'd rather gut it and get the hide off ASAP instead of messing around with air.

Post by: Kain on January 31, 2010, 11:31:56 AM: It doesnt appear to take a lot of air. I wonder if you get one of those portable air tanks to take in the field with you for deer and elk.

Something like one of these.
