Now, a lot of people hate the idea of skinning big game animals, especially when it is cold outside, or if the animal is frozen.

I’m the same way, I don’t mind the act of skinning a deer, but sometimes I wish it was quicker on those cold days.

And, there are times in when hunters are far from civilization or even trees to hand a deer to skin.  That is where the Hide Ripper from Koola Buck comes in.  this handy skinning device mounts to just about any vehicle that accepts a hitch.

Koola Buck, an industry leader in state-of-the-art meat processing products and the inventor of the Koola Buck portable refrigeration system, has introduced the Hide Ripper deer-skinning machine. Created to eliminate the tedious and time-consuming task of hand skinning deer, the new Hide Ripper is the quickest, cleanest and easiest way to skin a deer.

This portable machine attaches to any vehicle equipped with a trailer-hitch mount and sets up easily in mere minutes. Once assembled, skinning a deer is as easy as one, two, three. Simply skin the back legs or neck of the deer, and insert the included gambrel. Next use one of the powerful 1,000 lb. winches to lift the animal upright, as you would normally, and then use the second winch to rip the hide off. It is just like pulling your shirt over your head.

The Hide Ripper is constructed of all-steel square tubing with heavy-duty pins and weighs 95 pounds. It disassembles into a footprint of 54 by 20 by 6 inches, making it perfect for transportation and use in remote locations. To see the Hide Ripper in use, watch the video at www.hideripper.com.

The Hide Ripper is currently available at www.koolabuck.com and at select dealers nationwide for a suggested retail price of $399. To find a dealer near you visit http://www:koolabuck.com/dealers.com/
