It leaves a V shape piece of skin that runs up the center of the belly. You just work the tip of the V loose with your fingers and pull it off just like you're pulling off the squirrels britches. I always nip off the feet first with a pair of game shears, that makes it all even slicker.

Exactly as I figured Destry. Thanks. I'll have to try that one. I do the same with the feet. We skin our deer like that. Hang them head up to something stout, cut off the lower legs with a cordless sawzall, skin the neck out to the base, make a roll of neck hide on the chest side, poke a hole and tie a rope around it tightly, hitch it to the trailer hitch of the Expedition and zip, off comes the entire hide in 10 seconds or less. Just like the old buffalo hunters did with a horse. I've read that any skinner who took more than 3min to skin a buffalo was subject to being fired.
