My two youngest sons and I went deer hunting on New Year's Day. The 13 year-old killed his second doe of the season. Although it was only about 23 degrees when we began the skinning process, we went ahead and got it done.
We used a rope and our t-hanger to hoist the deer up off the back of the trailer we brought the deer in from the woods on. We looped oil-field rope around the 6-inch iron pipe support beam of our basketball goal and pulled 'er on up. The actual skinning probably took about an hour. (I had to go inside a time or two to warm my hands in front of our wood-burning heater!)
Now it's time to go out and try to get some more venison! Nothing like deer hunting in a shooting house on a cold, clear, January, Mississippi day!
