What knives are you taking to the field? #15283850 10/04/20

OP berryns Campfire Member B Joined: Nov 2012 Posts: 275 Colorado	Hunting season is here, what cutlery are you taking to the field with you? For deer hunting I'm planning to take a Havalon Piranta Wyoming Saw, Buck paklite Gut Hook, Randall Model 5-4, and Case CV Trapper. I always take the havalon packed in my bag in case I forget other cutlery. For rabbit hunting with my daughter I am planning on taking a Case Trapper, Cutco game shears, and maybe a Randall #8 or 5. For my son's first backpacking trip I took a Case Trapper in stainless. "Venison vanishcth down the vale, with bounding hoof and flaunting tail."

You can pull off the skin, break and pull off the feet, twist and pull off the head, and split open the stomach to remove most of the innards with just your hands with rabbits. BUT...... you should always have a knife or two handy. Last edited by michiganroadkill; 10/05/20.

Knowing there are very high quality knives available, have not yet determined which ones I should acquire. Don't ask me about my military service or heroic acts...most of it is untrue. Pronoun: Yes, SIR !
