Here is a video I put on youtube a few seasons ago. Notice the angle. Brush every hide good, do them while they are cool and the fat has set up, use the sharp side only on the neck and remember that every coon has tits that can tear to include boars....LLL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBaUYttVNvkI can't hardly see the knife in that video. It's moving too fast and is usually hidden by a blue sweatshirt sleeve. Looks like you have it down pretty good though. When I flesh an animal it never even looks close to that. And I've been trying everything I can think of for the past ten years. I don't see how you guys go over the arm holes like that.
What from Christ that soul can sever, Bound by everlasting bands? None shall take thee From the Strength of Israel's hands.

You need to cut those front legs off short then you can just blow right over them. The knife needs to be just about flat to the hide for the best results. The more vertical It gets Is when It starts digging Into the hide.

You getting the burrs out they work like a cutting board if you leave them in the fur, keep moving around don't overdo it in 1 spot for too long make sure you have a beam that fits the knife or your maybe just riding the edges.

I'm wondering if I'm trying to take to much of the tissue off ? Should I just be taking the surface fat off? You're not wanting to take any tissue off. Just SCRAPING the fat (and misc meat) off of the hide.
