Today it was revealed to me how to easily skin out a deer tail for use in regalia. As everyone knows as you move down the tail gets smaller and the skin is thinner and it tears at the end. The solution was easy, just use the back of the knife to loosen the skin from the tail as you get to the bottom of the tail and the skin doesn't slip easily. Rub the back of the knife down between the tail and the skin sort of like whittling with the blunt end. Then you get a nice tail you can use to make roaches or cones, one that you got yourself!
