Evening guys, I've carried one for years, from trapping mostly. With the roof hook it's easy to slit up the middle of a beaver and not open up the guts when you skin them. You can do it with your knife if it's got a drop point but we usually carried a small jack knife for muskrats & used that until we tried the roofing hook. Progress? Who new. Bill out. πŸΎπŸ‘£πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦
