Using a "Butt Out", do you need to split pelvis? Skinning Question

[cowboycraig]

Initial skinning question.

Has anyone used a

?

Thinking this would get around splitting the pelvis when skinning.

Also does everyone split it? Do some people just "pull the last bit through"?

Thanks!

I rarely ever split the pelvis.  You can accomplish the entire gutting process without a saw rather easily.

Anymore, I rarely field dress unless I'm very close to the pickup.

Never used a butt out and don't even split the pelvis. Just get in there and get it done.

Good way to put it.

Go gutless and don't even be concerned with the pelvis or innards until you're done and ready to get at the tenders, liver, and heart.

Don't need it - just one more thing to carry.

Save your money, you dont need it, dont need to split the pelvis either....gutting is really not that difficult to do.

cowboy, just run a knife between the pooper and the pelvis a few times, then pull the pooper into the cavity. Works fine.

it takes 2-4 minutes tops with only a knife to dress a deer. No need to split the pelvis either. I like my fishing filet knife or my havalon for gutting.

A very sharp fillet type knife, cut around the pooper (I'm only saying it once) as Iceman said, and it pulls right out.

I never split the pelvis, a long skinny blade knife is all that is needed.

Good tip, thanks! You said Pooper lol

Yeah you don't NEED it, but I've used it a couple of times and really like it.  Slit the belly, insert Butt-Out, pull out poop-shoot, cut out butthole, tie a knot in the poop-shoot, pull poop-shoot from the inside.

Either wat no need to split the pelvis unless quartering.
