Can anybody recommend a hide skinning tool for big game? The older I get, the more difficult it gets for my wrists and knuckles when gripping the hide. Having used several different knives to aid me in my "old age", hasn't helped in regard to my inability to grip the hide firmly while pulling it away from the carcass. The "Claw" looks like it would still require a strong grip to pull away the hide. Short of purchasing a winch, I'm looking for something that would allow me to use my upper body strength. Other hunthers surely experience this problem, the older they get? I'm not ready to fade away just yet. I have heard about a hide skinner out there that is used like a "sardine can key", where the hide is rolled up while pulling away from the carcass. I'll keep searching.
