On what type of method you are using to skin it. But basically in any method you use you can skin out the back legs and hang it upside down by the archillie tendons to finish skinning. Depending on your method will affect your "table" time in skinning ie: dorsal takes longer to free the back legs verses cased or ventral. A skinning gambral or "hooks" is valuable in hanging for the final skinning.

Hope this helps-
ps. put a pan under the head to catch blood drips

Get that blood to run to the head - the meat will taste better than way.
