I used to help do around 400 deer per season. What Mark told you is right on
the money. One thing I can add is using an old dish towell is a great help
griping the flesh side of a hide.

Good idea. I have a couple of pairs of Kevlar gloves used for meat
cutting and I probably should also wear while skinning.

Along with all the other suggestions I might add this...At the end of our
week long gun season in Ohio I bring home 3-6 deer that have been hanging in
a cooler to butcher myself(with help of course). If a deer was taken
earlier in the week it is often times harder to skin than a fresh kill. The
trick I use is to inject it with air from my shop compressor. I have a
pistol grip nozzle with an 8" long 1/4" stainless steel tube with the end
ground to a sharp point. I insert the tube under the hide between the hide
and meat and shoot up all four legs from the knee joint and then down both
sides of the neck and back. What this does is separate the skin from the
meat and makes it much easier to skin out with a knife. Has anyone else
ever tried this? Trust me...it works great.
