Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting What knife do you carry during deer season?

My best friend growing up's dad gave me this Estwing when I was in high school in the mid 60's.
I carried it with pride for about 25yrs.





Then I bought a Buck Vanguard when they first came out (late 80's IIRC).



Now days I just shoot a meat Deer from the porch every year or two (usually a fawn ) so I use what's handy.
This year it was an old carbon steel Northwoods B&T. Love that little knife.



Oh,,,,, and for the guys arguing about the Havalons.
I've skinned furbearers all my life, have a shoebox full of skinning knives, and think the Havalon Piranta a friend gifted me is the best thing since they put pockets on shirts, but no way would I go hunting big game with nothing but that in my pocket. It might be handy to have along but that's about it.
They'll spoil ya in the fur shed though.
