Field Dressing Knife

[27hand]

When you've seen people unintentionally gutted, deer ain't shit.

Thankfully, I never had to experience that.
I just made sure the 500 pounders dropped.

I don't remember anyone using gloves when I started hunting. Just wiped off with a rag or grass till I crossed water to rinse.

This is a very good choice the sister model 692 is the same knife without the gut hook which is also a great choice for field dressing a deer you can buy them on ebay cheap.

I haven't dressed a deer (only helped), only squirrels and goose. But I will say it's probably a good idea to get a non camo knife. I have a cheap orange Mora of some sort. Being orange is nice for if I set it aside for a moment. Harder to lose amongst the leaves!

My standard procedure is to lay my orange hat down somewhere out of the way and always put my knife down next to it.

As for the Wyoming knife, I use the guthook every time and it is awesome.

Gloves are a very nice add on, they weigh nothing and I usually stash em in my pack, my pockets and my bibs.

Biggest downside is you forget that your watch is not covered and get it covered in blood

Almost as if the deer had a zipper!

You only have to gut the does these days. (Except the 1st one)

It's been mentioned only once so far but just about any decent 3" blade plus minus a little will work fine , to me the point shape is more important than any other thing , I like a drop point blade style and have gutted countless deer never cut a gut yet .
