How to de-flesh a deer hide

Tash shows how to remove the meat and tissue off the hide of a deer. This is how you clean a hide before using our home taxidermy tutorial to tan the skin.

So glad I found this video. I tried this on Australian possums. (I'm in NZ and they are a big pest here) It works marvelously. Used a Stihl RE163 Waterblaster with a rotating head straight after skinning and took less than a couple of minutes per hide and they come out really clean & no tearing!. Possum is a small animal but probably has tougher skin than rabbit.

I did 3 blacktail and an elk hide using your guide last November. Here in the states, it's nearly impossible to get a chrome tanning solution so I used EZ-100. I use a power washer to strip the skins like you did here. It worked pretty good but should have used a fleshing knife on the elk hide to thin it out a bit because it's like 1/2in thick on the rump. Great video as always! 👍

Thanks mate. Glad it was helpful. Weird about the chrome tanning solution. It's really popular here!

Just watching your other video on 'How to tan a deer hide'. In this video you say to de-flesh after the pickle stage. My question is do you also neutralize the skin with bicarbonate first before de-fleshing? Great vids. Thank you :)

Do you need to do any fleshing before the pickle? I'm worried it won't penetrate. I bought the d.s horne kit, and they go straight from a alum sulfate pickle to tanning with no neutralising. I'm planning on doing goats skins fresh. Thanks!

That is taking forever to flesh, I use a 4000 psi machine. It does a deer skin in 5 minutes. :)
