Thread: First public land deer, and a near disaster

Nice! Its all learning and you are wiser now. Also you will get a hundred different bits of advice from us all. Try different stuff and see what works for you. Heres mine.

A havalon scalpel blade knife as an extra will solve the blunt knife problem with minimal extra weight. Im kind of of the same opinion as Barry that a block and tackle is of limited use Unless you want to hang the carcase overnight. Just practice leg removal and Boning out the legs. That way you can take the best meat and leave hocks etc behind if needed.
You should be working on having a load of about 30kg including meat and your gear.
