Varies from hunt to hunt. I hate for one (or a pair) to feel neglected for very long. ...and I just like to use different knives! The two different pairs below are the ones I use the most. I use this pair (Yellow Jacket and #1 Semi) from Gene quite a bit: I use this pair (Slitter and B&T II) from Charlie quite a bit as well: First year to use this one, a Flat Rock Scandi by Charlie May. I'm really liking it.

A Case folding hunter that my Dad bought in the 1950's or early 60's and one of the smaller Case fixed blade knives that I bought in the late 70's.

Old Timer - Alaskan Hunter. My hunting buddy gifted it to me and I'm sure it'll be on my side after he's gone.

Very often just use a $1.99 florist's pruning knife. Good for a couple of field dressings then chuck it. Often times just whatever pocket knife I happen to be using daily although I prefer a straight blade. Sometimes a D.H. Russell #1 or bird and trout, CRKT or Knives Of Alaska or... Knives, can't have too many good ones.

These two are usually in my pack - KOA Alpha Wolf S30V and Kershaw Gentlemen's Folder (KOA gets the most use):

It's evolved over time.
Today, Gerber LST in my pocket. IF I carry a knife on my belt, it's a Gerber magnum LST. Sometimes that goes in my pack, otherwise either one of the skeletonized Buck fixed blades or a rubber handled Vanguard.
At various times in the past I've carried a "first generation" Gerber LMF without serrations, Buck folding hunter / Special / General, a couple small Browning knives, some off brand stuff, swiss army knives.
I'm not really particular. If I can put an edge on it and it holds that edge through gutting and skinning a deer, it's good enough. Today I lean towards lighter knives over heavier if the functionality is the same for my uses. That Gerber LMF remains one of my favorite knives of all time but I don't carry it anymore.

Buck 110 gets the nod more often than others. Buck 112 does a good job as well, although I like the extra length of the 110. This year for my wife's moose, I broke in a new Buck 113, it did a good job, BUT it has more of a skinning blade which I am not used to.
This weekend, I'm going to take out an old Shrade 1250. The bucks are just starting to run here, MAN I LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR!!

I dislike folders for carcass work so I generally carry a German made fixed blade Linder, either the bottom knife in the pic below, which I is in 440C or the Super Edge 2 which is a essentially the same knife in ATS34 steel and with a synthetic handle. The other knife I have started using which has turned out to be very handy is the Mora Roeing knife below. Its cheap as chips but the small blade takes an excellent edge and the ball tip makes gralloching, and the initial cuts when skinning, a breeze.

Probably never the same one twice, but whichever one, of dozens of folders, that I happen to have in my pocket.
