[QUOTE="slas, post: 3046264, member: 39669"] Had a cheaper knife with a gut hook but after using a havalon piranta I gave it up. As soon as I harvest I gut and quarter pretty much right away. I just believe the meat is better the sooner you can get it gutted. I generally don't hang it up, seems to be more work than I really need to do since I can get everything I need done with it on the ground. I'll pack the quartered meat out in my big pack and have it in the ice chest covered with ice within a hour or two. I open the drain and keep the meat on ice for about three days then turn it over to the wife. She gets out the knives and slices and dices it the way she wants to since she's going to be the one mostly cooking it up. It is work but not too hard to does save on processing and ensuring you get your own deer meat. Things I've used most in the last several years are a good head lamp, ragwool gloves, and my muck boots. Of course a good rifle/muzzle loader and bow are a necessity if you plan on hunting all seasons. I hunted several years without a stand or blind. Had cover from trees and round hay bales. Now I have a nice little metal blind on the land where I hunt and often reflect back on how I suffered a few of those cold rainy days..... [/QUOTE]
