Butt-Out Tool

[deerwhacker444]

Not to hijack anothers thread....

Absolutely. Makes it SO much easier. Pop it in, twist and pull slowly, then tie it off with the parachute cable I carry and cut off the rest of it. Keeps me from splitting the bone or nicking something smelly. They're cheap and a great tool.

Someone please explain to me what I'm doing wrong. I got one as a gag gift once, but I actually used it. It worked like a charm on the intestine. When I got to the inside, the intestine just pulled thru with the other guts.

The problem was the bladder. I couldn't get the danged bladder out without splitting the pelvis.

Is the Butt-Out supposed to help loosen up the bladder as well as the intestine? If not, I got no use for it since I had to split the pelvis anyway.

I tried sticking a knife down in there to loosen the bladder, but couldn't get it fully loosened. Do I just need to get a fillet knife..?

I've never completely cleaned a deer without splitting the pelvis.....

Those things are a ripoff.

I bought one, and the next time I shot a deer I used it. It hurt like hell going in and didn't make gutting the deer any easier. Then to top it off, I couldn't remove it on my own and had to go to the hospital.

Yeah, that was a real time saver.

I did feel a bit dirty using it..! Had to look around in the woods to make sure nobody was watching...

If anybody questions you, just tell them it's OK, you work for the TSA.

Numbnuts! You forgot the lube!

Amazing how quick these threads can do downhill and into the gutter

Sometimes I use mine, sometimes I don't. The new improved model appears to have a stop. It's also longer than the original recipe.

It's almost a solution in search of a problem. As to splitting the pelvis, I really like to use a shingling hatchet. Fast, crude, effective. CB

Geez, I just use a reciprocating saw and be done with it.

To split the pelvis, I use a wire saw. Its been around for many years. Ranchers use them to dehorn goats, etc.
A company has modified the wire with some handles that allow one to push it through the pelvis, then seperate the handles, and saw through it. Works great.

to split pelvis, I use a sharp knife and hit it with something heavy while I have my knees on legs. Just stuck with old methods I guess??
