Hunter XT is ticket for hunters

[Mr. Whippy]

Deer season is in full swing here.  I got one during bow season and have one now in gun season.  In both cases, I quickly and easily field dressed the deer.  In one case, I wanted to see how good the Hunter XT was.  I decided to complete all the processing with it from skinning to completing all butchering.

That is too cool buddy

Well done. Nothing like filling the freezer yourself.

I'm a massive fan of victorinox in general, but I find the Hunter XT to be an exception to my fanaticism. During use of the main plain edge blade, i find the gut/serrated blade to be particularly uncomfortable on the palm/fingers - leading to an un-ergonomic grip.

Geeze, I don't know...

Using the plain blade, I hold it more like a dinner knife so not much contact with the gut blade.

I use the gut blade to vertically slice the fascia.  I hold the knife like a handle and the motion is sort of like I'm lifting the carcass with the knife. 

Start to finish, I can field dress in about 10 minutes.  Hard to complain about a tool for that sort of turn around time

Have to say it sounds easier than 2 fingers and a Schrade fixed while stressing over a punctured bowel. I'm sold.

That's the worse. All you have to do is puncture it once and you are always extremely careful. Kind of like burning your hand on the stove. Makes you learn real quick.

That's the old method.

I've been using these tools for several years.

Been unable to hunt for about 12 years so guess I've been outta the loop!   Have something coming that will work I think.

Parachutist.

I was able to buy two of those right here last year.

I just started to see these on ebay in the last several weeks.

Yes an OH model. Wanted one for a while and stumbled on to one tonight....was being glib about the hunting thing (though it would work just fine). The Wenger Hunters will work as well.

I think these are all new old stock so when they are gone they are gone.

That's awesome!    I think I bought from him before but it was a couple of years ago. Try to buy used when I can unless it's scarce/rare and I'm pining for it. (like that high dollar Locksmith)

good hunting shots 

For the game I have to dress a penknife is usually enough
