I must be old fashioned cuz I'm still addicted to the old method.
Hang him up by the hind ankles, preferably legs apart.
Make a cut all the way around each hind leg about three inches up from the paw. From there make a cut on the inside of each hind leg going from your first cut straight down to the genitials, don't cut them
Cut a circle around the software and then go back up to the hind legs and begin peeling them out of the skin by your cuts.
When you get down to the hips, peel carefully as to leave the genitials. Make a small cut from the genitials to the anus and peel the hide out around the tail being carefull to leave the tail intact with the rest of the hide.
From there on in it's mostly pulling and cutting. When I can't pull no more I circle the torsoe with the knife and peel some more.
Front armpist are a bit of a challenge, when I get to them I use the shank of a screwdriver and push it through the membrane just ahead of the front limb and pull to seperate the skin. Get them close enough to the paw and make a circular cut around the paw as done with the hind legs.
Down by the head you want to cut as close as possible when you get to the ears, to make sure you don't cut them off in the process.
If the animal is going to be mounted, it's best to leave the head in so that we can skin the hide with the eyelids and lips still intact.
