Hairy Meat

[MC2FS]

When I skin and debone it, hair generally isn't an issue on the meat. Skin down one side, lay the hide hair down, and there's no hair anywhere to even get on the meat.

This is what I was going to say is the best method. IMO it starts in the field with how you dress out the animal. The less cuts you make of the hide from outside-in, the less hair you will be cutting that can fall onto your meat. A torch for what hair, if any, that does make it onto the meat has worked for me though.

"He who eats the most meat eats the most hair" is what anybody who complains gets told round here!

Another vote for the torch. So quick an easy.

Helps a lot if you skin the animal front to back. Any other way, and you got a mess of hair on your hand, and meat. End up having very little hair on the quarters. Typically worked on white tail and hogs, not much other experience.
Fastest I've processed a white-tail deer was 20 mins, from skinning, to quartering the animal, to the ice chest.

I've always use a high-pressure hose and picked off what the hose doesn't get. I'm surprised that no one else mentioned water pressure and that there are so many torch users. I have to give the torch a try!

Torch method is something I’ve only used on ducks before. Going to try that on my next deer

Ducks don’t have hair ! Lol

Sorry can't add anything to the discussion, am laughing way too hard at the title "Hairy Meat"
Though you were maybe asking for opinions on favorite 70's porn star

Having a partner during skinning helps alot. Multiple pairs of disposable gloves if not. Go from front to back.

How do you take care in the field and spend countless hours at home? Lol. I'm sure some exaggeration here, but its easy. Take your time, work so the wind carries loose hairs away from meat. Wipe the meat with a barely dampened rag at home to clean off the rest

I use a 3M Scotch Brite scouring pad. Rub down the quarters. Fat sticks to the pad and so does all of the hair right along with it. I’d rather remove it than melt it to my meat with a torch.

This works well as does hanging from the head if you are skinning at home as the hair is the correct way when pulling the skin down it's less likely to pull out,regards wayne

dry washcloth works for me

I don't spend much time on it. I'll spend a few minutes here and there removing excess hair as I butcher. But there will definitely be a bit of hair on many cuts when I put them in the freezer. Just pick off the hair when you pull it out later. No big deal.
