Once you are past the privates and the tail..... pulling the cape down is basically free sailing. You will have to play your skinnin' knife here and there as you go... just don't go cutting into the meat. Remember... you are just separating the hide from the meat.

Here we've made it down to the front quarters... and here it gets tough again.

You are still separating the cape from the meat... that is from around the neck and the front legs. It gets tougher to pull the hide from these areas. It'll take some strength....

Get your arm in there and really push.... it'll give way.

Step Six:Well this is as far as you need to go since you aren't a cannibal. So at this point make the cut at the neck and legs for removal. If you plan on keeping the hide for other use, then there is other steps beyond this.... but that's another story.

Basically the area where to make the neck cut.

And the area to make the front leg cuts.

Step Seven:Now you can remove the front quarters.... or the front two shoulders. These come off very easy.

Just follow the "seams" between the muscles down to the bone shoulder socket.... and cut away.

Do the same for both sides. Step Eight:Up til now.... the guts have been left alone. The ribcage has held them in place (thankfully), but now we must deal with them. Use a bonesaw or hacksaw and cut the breast bone apart and allow the internal organs to spill into your disposal bucket. You will need to cut the esophogus lose from the deer.
