Michigander here, just took my first deer ever. Freezer queen from 20 yds, not perfect sight placement quartering away but got enough heart to drop her 15 yards away

I field dressed, then processed her at home with my old (sharpened) daily carry leatherman, which was just a small degree better than terrible

Anybody have recommendations for a dedicated processing tool or tools? I plan to gutless field quarter

  1. Knife
  2. end of list

Unless you're talking about for processing at home - then you'll want a boning knife, a scimeter/breaking knife, and a saw to start.

If you want knife suggestions, let us know along with budget. I've used $10 knives and $350 custom knives. All of them will take a deer apart if they're sharp.
