Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire So who squirrel hunts?

I use a Ruger 77 with a stainless Douglas barrel. Leupold 8x scope.

So how do you guys skin them? My grandmother was the best squirrel hunter I ever met, shoe showed me how she did it. Grab the tail and start cutting through the hide right at the tail/back junction. Feather the hide down the back a bit, then step on the tail, and pull up with the back legs. It will skin right to the front legs. I carry a knife, plastic bag and side cutters in a bag, and skin and clean in the woods when I get a few. Much easier when they are warm!
