ABSTRACT:
A self-contained, independently operating, adjustable, portable animal skinning device for use with hunting game features telescoping metal rods. The animal skinner incorporates parallel upper and lower racks, each having a plurality of hollow, telescoping metal rods that facilitate the length adjustment thereof. Two opposingly disposed end supports sandwich the telescoping metal rods therebetween. A cable extends at least the combined length of the upper rack, the lower racks, and the vertical distance, therebetween. One end of the cable engages a clamp assembly, which removably secures an animal hide to the cable. The cable extends along the upper rack, engaging a roller on one of the horizontally-oriented hollow metal rods, and extends downward and along the lower rack. The other end of the cable operably engages a winch that in turn operably engages a portable AC power source, such as a 12 volt marine battery. A chain detachably engages the upper horizontal rod on the end support with the winch. An animal to be skinned is chained to the upper rack at a point below its head, to secure it thereto, and the clamp assembly is secured to the animal hide, whereupon the winch is actuated, urging the cable towards it and spooling it thereon to ultimately facilitate skinning as the cable is displaced away from the head of the animal. Once the hide is completely removed, it travels with the cable to be safely deposited onto the lower rack.
