Thanks man <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Yeah it's a 710. Worked great for him(as he just informed me), although I'm not a fan of the axis locking system. We are getting him a Strider PT for his 11th birthday. Smaller, stronger, better ergo's with S30V steel. S30V works great when things nasty(wet & muddy). I didn't wash these two(SnG & MFS) for 3 days. NO RUST or STAINS, not one bit!
I gave my son the DMDC & YKCG, so once he gets this new folder. He'll have everything covered & then some.

Yeah I do process my meat differently, as these deer are as heavy as hell. The one pictured looks small. But I can tell you, there is no way one man can hang this up by himself for quartering. And I'm not a believer in taking any bones. I learnt this technique from a hunter with many more years experience than I. So these days it's the only way I retrieve my meat. The walk out usually(up hill allot of the times) takes between 1-3 hours, depending on how far the truck is.

Here is a bigger boy a shot 5 weeks back. Even this photo doesn't do him any justice. He would of went 550lbs. Took me 3 hunts to figure him out, as smart as hell. For that I respected him greatly. His meat was also pretty good considering he's a stag.
He didn't have the biggest rack but his body is broad with solid thick muscles.




So you can see what I'm dealing with. And it's real tough doing all this trying not to slide down the hill <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> .

A plastic sheet takes care of most of the grass, dirt & crap. But like I said, it's tough on the side of some big hills.
