Nice video guys. This year I belong in the "what not to do with your cape category." we will see how gun hunting plays out.

Nice video.
You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.

Great Video.

Jeff, quick question, I usually start skinning from the hind legs (hanging as shown) and just leave the whole hide on. Do this for two reasons, one to keep as much hair off the meat as possible, and two, to make sure I don't come close to not leaving enough. Never had a taxi complain from it, is this a pain in the but for you for any reason? I also usually slit along the front leg line like you showed, then saw my shanks off and can usually just get the cape off without needing to cut any further than the armpit, any issue with that? I'm not putting one on the wall every year, so not a big issue, just curious, and since we have a local expert, thought I'd ask.

No problems with doing it that way. Better to have more than enough hide. Good tip!!!
