WHITETAIL DEER Skinning For Taxidermy Supplies

In the first several Videos of the "Whitetail Deer Taxidermy" Series, I use this Knife for Skinning. Knife is Scary Sharp.




UPDATE - I use the Krowtann "Whitetail Deer Formula" Non-Pickle Tanning Process. Relatively Easy to Use with Nice Results. Order Through VanDykes Taxidermy Supplies. 1-800-279-7985 Item No. KWT200
