Gobbling Buck

otis......I've used a gut hook for about 15 years now and like them. I've used everything from Gerber, Buck, Schrade, to an old paratrooper knife. One thing that hasn't been mentioned in any of the previous posts, when using one go in the direction of the hair. It makes it easier. That may be common sense to most, but if your new at it, it may help.

I use the Browning with the blade, guthook/blade, saw combo. Great folding knife and I do use the guthook for both deer and elk. It just speeds up the process with no worry about a screw up. Plus it keeps the main blade sharp for more important duties next.
