With that many hands it's a wonder that someone did not get cut.

My sentiments exactly, MM!

Cajuns have the skill of a surgeon when it comes to dressing ~~food~~ game.

Whose got the conch? ;D

Also, the first time that I have ever seen a filet knife used for skinning. Cutting from the "hair side" is a bad idea. I always cut from the inside.

That, and too many knives (hands) in a small area, is what I noticed. Besides getting hair on the carcass, with all the sand usually found on a wild hog, it's a good way to dull a knife. Maybe they have only skinned a scalded hog before.

Yeah, I like to get in under that tough skin. I also use utility knives on hogs now. Just swap the blades and keep working.

Given the opportunity we also pressure wash before skinning. Lots of stuff on hogs down here that are not good.

I wouldn't want to be paying the 3 of them by the hour.

They don't have a clue.

Would love too but don't have any dead hogs right now. Of course back when we butchered everybody rendered lard so my grandpa would have skinned me alive if I wouldn't have skinned close to the hide. And like Magicman said, you don't cut thru the hair to slice the hide. The way the saw was being used should have pretty well scrambled the insides. Of course we skinned and saved the head too. And on and on ------------ ;D

Evening all. Any one else use compressed air or hp water to inflate the hide from the body and cut out from there? We used to harvest several at a time from our soy beans when I was younger and that was a quick way to get them processed.

Not for pigs, but I have been meaning to give it a go on goats.

LeeB · November 18, 2011, 09:14:18 AM

how well does it work on hogs? how much fat and meat come away with the skin?

The air hose trick works on humans. I had a not-so-bright guy who worked for me. He was cleaning some greasy parts and cut his hand on a sharp edge. He grabbed an air hose and turned it in the cut to clean out the grease and gunk. Blew his hand up like a balloon and peeled the skin off most of his hand.

Found a vid using the air technique on deer. This was an ad peddling a set of needles, but the vid shows the procedure. Looks like it would work quite well (for hogs too).
