Portable skinning rig you can hang in a tree if you have any trees!

What do you do with the carcass?
I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

I'd make one, a gambrel, some chain and quick snap set up!

I think it would be more productive to skin in the shop if you have one and trap while on the line. You will put more fur in the truck that way Wade. LLL

I would have to agree with Larry if trapping around home on trip some where skin as you go better and faster in daylight than truck light after dark.

I wouldn't waste valuable time skinnin while running lines.Good line management should leave you plenty of time for skinning while your traps are working.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Peel easy warm, less handling of the carcass. Leave the mess in the fields, when i get home put furs in freezer and reload truck. I keep a knife, gambel, tail puller bags for fur and glands. In a small duffle bag. I use to pack a skinning pole for pickup, but every ranch has corrals for working livestock so now i just use them .
Let me sugar coat this

Some guys don't want to run traps all day long everyday and skin in the fur shed half the night every night. Nothing wrong with that! I have built a lot of different designs of portable skinners, most fit in your truck receiver. If you think I can be of help to you designing something that suits your needs shoot me a PM Wade.

ADC, Sell him a receiver hitch first.
Than stick him with a skinning rig.
That's like buying NY City salsa!!!!!!! No receiver hitch, for crying out loud.

ADC -- Interested in some sort of skinning rig for coyotes but my truck doesn't have a receiver hitch. I know, my man card is in jeopardy but can you recommend anything? Oh, and I have a shell on the truck. ADC, Sell him a receiver hitch first.
Than stick him with a skinning rig.

I make up a snare that closes all the way out of 3/32 cable.....I carry it in a small bag with my knife, sharpner and tail stripper......just throw the snare over a limb ..and bam...good to go. I cant use reg snares that I use on my line for beavs because we have to have a deer stop............the deer stop leaves too much of a gap to get a good hold of a critters foot for skinning.
everything gets skint on the line.unless they are froze like a brickbat.....even wet coon...carcassas would start to pile up at home and I don't wanna have to mess with them.
