joy of cooking - skin a squirrel
you need an old copy of Joy of Cooking, 1960's ... but it is in there. Seems that since they no longer publish it, gotta be public domain now.
Very important: note that you are cutting on the side of the tail where the anus is.

Elmer, this is exactly the way my father taught me to do it back in the '60s...strangely enough I still have a '70s copy of the joy of cooking...I'll check this battered (worn, not tempura)copy to see if it's in there.
1970 is going to be borderline I think.
Some old hunters showed me how to do this in the 70's but they did it without "walking me through it" myself and I kept cutting on the wrong side of the tail trying to remember.
Other thing I kept doing wrong was putting the tail under my toes, you have to put the tail where you are putting all your weight, that is more under the middle of your foot.
Now it is a breeze for me and I skin a squirrel in just a couple of minutes and there is no putting my hands into pain [once you get middle aged this is a problem]. It's not about speed so much though, more about "easy."
Nice! Just what I was looking for.
