[QUOTE="aviator41, post: 2931951, member: 30309"] As for the basic "how to" yeah, that's about right. He does need a sharper knife and he needs to take time to make slower more deliberate cuts. There were a number of cuts that should have been much easier to make. I don't use a hatchet either. I use a little saw to cut through the pelvic bone then spread it out and cut around the anus so it's free. The hook on the knife is called a gut hook. it's designed to allow the hunter to open the carcass without fear of stabbing the entrails. Some like 'em some don't. I prefer not to use one. I just use two fingers and let the knife blade follow in between. I also don't slice across the abdomen like he does. that's a sure fire way to bust the gut open! and THAT is how you ruin meat. I start my incision right at the base of the sternum. then work down to the tail, then up through the ribs. With does, I cut up through the rub cage like he did. that helps get the guts out in one swipe. I'm not too worried about hair on the meat. the entire carcas gets a nice shower once the deer is fully skinned at home. Stray hairs wash right off. [/QUOTE]
