I thought the same thing. My dad found them for cheap and gave me one. It does actually work.
i've got the one for deer and it is great but i havent tried the turkey one.
Guy at the sporting goods store told me he sells twice as many for gag gifts as he sells to hunters wanting to actually use them. Of course he had no trouble selling me one cause I like to try gadgets! (Got the swan/goose model - should be good for turkey too).
If buying one for deer, get the big game one instead. Gives you more room to get a grip on it.
I never felt the need for something like that. I dont gut my deer anyway. Only reason to gut one is to get the ribs. Aint enough meat on the ribs to feed a skunk.
Man oh Man.....Guess you don't like to eat filet mignon then??? Then best part on the entire deer can't be cut out unless the deer is gutted.
Camoman said he don't like them cause they HURT !!!! ;D :TooFunny:

No you dont have to gut em for that. I get the tender loins. I slit the abdomen along the back bone between the ribs and hips, reach in and grab them. I would tick a buzzard off when I get through with a deer. Only thing left is the ribs. I just dont see the need to gut em if you aint gonna take the ribs.

It makes them a heck of a lot easier to drag. Of course our deer weigh a bit more up here. :goofball:

I'm not dragging it out with that extra weight! Plus if you dont get it processed that same day (let hang for a day or 2) I dont want that gut in there. Exspecially if your shot placement was in the boiler were it should be with a bow.

I see your point, if you are going to hang to age. But here in Louisiana it does not get cold enough to do that until late January.
I only hunt a few miles from the house. I just hang, skin, debone while hanging (debone hams, cut off shoulders, take back strap, slit and get TL). When I am done I just drape the hide back over the carcas and drag off. I let my meat sit in a cooler on ICE for up to 5 days, draining the water every day and refilling with ice. After 5 days I proess
I ALWAYS GET THE BUTCHER TOP SAVE RIBS.. SOMETIMES THEY JUST LOOK AT ME WHEN I ASK.. BUT I TELL YA.. PUT THE RIBS IN A SLOW COOKER OR CROCKPOT WITH A BOTTLE OF SWEET BABY RAY'S BBQ SAUCE AND THEY ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! CANT WAIT TO HAVE SOME NEXT WEEK.
