Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire How Does One Use The Butt-Out Tool

I gotta agree with Nemisis on this one. I was dressing out a doe a couple years ago and a fellow campfire member said "here try this" I laughed and he said someone had given it to him as a Christmas gift so why not try it??? So I said WTF and tried it. It worked like a charm!!! I haven't bought one and don't carry one myself but can attest to the fact that they work and work well in mere seconds!! 163bc

The trick to it?
is getting them to hold still for it!

For wimens, I find conkin 'em on the noggin usually works.

I agree that it works but after I was gifted a "NAP zip saw", I never needed the BO tool again. Talk about a dream piece of field equipment. That tool works like a good dream.

This is a funny thread.

I like the PETA gift idea. They are soooo anal retentive, what do they need an a-hole for anyway??? Nothing wrong with a good knife.... So why not re-gift if you happen do receive one of these contraptions. Who says we're not the giving type??

There ya have it. I now know that the Butt-Out works by pulling a bit of the intestine out beyond the actual sphincter (butt hole o-ring). Then sever the intestine, then pull the intestine back into the body cavity, then dump the guts out as usual.

I have a small very sharp hand ax that I use to chop through the pelvic bone, then cut around the butt-hole. I've seen those saw things Issac refers to.

Thanks for all the other interesting suggestions & comments for the Butt-Out applications. I might buy one just to throw in the pool of White Elephant gifts for my department at works Christmas gift exchange

Pruning shears (hand size ) work just fine on that thin pelvic bone.
Use just like scissors.

You didn't read the manual. To use on squirrels & other small game, simply wrap the animal with duct tape first. Preferably BLUE duct tape.

Wtx, THAT is a great suggestion!

There are a number of ways to sort out the rear end (can't really say that without a double entendre! ) and much comes down to personal preference and circumstances.

If you have to drag the carcass out for any distance, it�s best not open up the rear end any more than absolutely necessary, as you're exposing prime cuts of meat in the haunches to possible contamination.

About the easiest way to minimise the amount of meat exposed is to remove just the green gralloch, ie the stomach and intestines ect and leave everything above the diaphragm..

At the other end, reach into the body cavity and feel for the �exit pipe� and run your fingers along it to �draw back� any pellets and then cut, leaving the anus and bladder in place...The cut pipe work can be closed off with a small cable tie first which avoids any missed pellets falling back into the body cavity..

Once the carcass is back to a more hygienic location, the penis, bladder and anus can be removed and the pelvis split..

Some folks split the pelvis firstto do this and others start by removing the bladder ect to avoid bursting it...

For some reason, dealing with the back end seems to cause my people lots of problems (more double entendres�! ) and while it can be certainly tricky on our small Muntjac, on Roe and anything bigger, it should be fairly straight forward.

I suspect the real problem is that many hunters only take one or two deer a year and simply don�t get the practice. Its quite common to see a person especiallt a novice "step back" and let somebody else gralloch their deer, but they never really learn that way...

Trouble is that you risk shedding a fair few pellets inside the body cavity as you draw the pipe back through...a small cable tie placed on the pipe before the cut reduces that risk greatly..

exactly, chitt in the meat. Someone gave me one, I watched a friend try to use it on his deer, I threw it away. The Tax Man renaming will be appropriate after King Mohamed Hussein Obama lets the Bush Tax cuts expire.

Write to Barney Frank's boy friend. I'm sure he's an expert.

That's why they need to develop the Butt-Out condom.
