I know a guy who says they work great. I am still a skeptic. Heck, it ain't that hard the old fashion way. I guess the guys that don't have a lot of experience will want to try it. What do you do with a doe? Both "areas"?

I don't know, we can't shoot does. They are needed as wolf food. I guess you can do both areas. You are right it is not hard the old way, but this way is slick and easy.

I have one and it works great when I use it. Only problem is I keep forgetting to use it. What I like was you don't have to worry about cutting into the bowel when splitting the pelvic bone.

For ten dollars I guess my fingers will keep doing the trick.

I carry a 6" fillet knife in my pack. This works extremely well as my "butt out" tool!

I bought one . It works either way for me.. It and the string is something else to carry in the dressing kit. But I do think it make's it a little easier to tie the string around i thinks to keep it a little more sanitary. I have used it a few time's..I think I will continue to . Drop

I'm on my second season with the butt out. Have used it on in excess of 15 deer. Works great .Will last a lifetime. Don't use string. After you roll the entrails out of the deer, reach up as far as you can into the pelvic area, pinch the intestine between thumb and index and pull toward the guts, moving any poop back toward the guts. When you clear 8" or so cut the intestine, freeing the guts, leaving the 8" cleared intestine still attached to the deer. Use the butt out as usual.

This was my second season to use the butt out tool. I do not use the string either. I have dressed about 46 deer with it so far. It is faster than just a knife. The more I use it. The more I like it.
It might not be worth the cost if you only clean one or two deer a year.

2 seasons - 46 deer. That's some serious hair testing!

We can kill 3 does a day from the fourth Saturday in September through the middle of the next January. I try to do my part in controlling the population. I also help several needy families with sharing the meat. I have access to four farms totaling over 4,000 acres of soy beans and corn. The farmer is grateful that I keep the deer in check. In the past when I started hunting these farms I have seen as many as fifty does in one herd. That is not the case now. There used to be an over abundance of does. I have taken three does a day four days in a row several different times with a riffle. We are allowed three bucks a year. Now the ratio of does to bucks is more like four to one. I keep my knife sharp and well used.
