Slinking squirrels ain't easy. Anyone who says different has either been doing it regulalry for 20+ years or ends up with a bunch of hair on the hide.

I do the "cut the below the tail, step on the tail and stand up method", but, if you don't do that method precisely, you can pull the carcass apart and/or rip some of the flesh. I use needle nose pliers to take their "pants" off.
This time of year, I usually skin them on the spot, stick them in a small bag cooler and then gut them later. Skinning is a lot easier when they are still warm.

I always cut the tail and the feet off first. Slip my knife thru the hide on the back and pull the hide away then when I get to the head just pull the hide past the neck and cut the head and hide off.
