Any deer hunters out there

Looking for fixed blade knife to carry while deer hunting. Anyone out there use this knife in the field. Looking for something to do some very light chopping with, such as briers and small branches, but stout enough to split the pelvis bone of a deer. Been using a Becker Necker for several years to dress and skin with and a really like it, but would also like something a little stouter to go with it. Been using my HI Ang Khola for the heavy stuff, but it is a little to heavy to carry every time I go out.

Kirk - Howdy and Welcome to the Scrap Yard ! I have used a Buck Vanguard for dressing out deer and it worked quite well. I have not used my Scrapper 6 from the Yard yet, but I'm sure it would work well for you, especially in the chopping arena. It is a VERY substantial knife for its size. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Tom

I think you'd be very pleased with a Scrapper. Welcome to the Yard! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Welcome to the Yard. Dan used the Scrapper 6 to gut, clean and split the pelvis of the deer our 10 year old, (Mike) got a couple of weeks ago. As you all know, with Dan, it is all about function and performance. Dan believes it is ideal for deer, but a bit on the large size for squirel.

Thanks. Looks like a good fit. Like the looks of the knife and the price. Always looking for affordable and functional tools.

Everything is bigger in Texas and the squirrels are a pain! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

Someone say deer? I took these the other day.

Wow that's close. LOOK OUT NED, IT'S COMIN' RIGHT FOR US!!! *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG*

That is a butt load of deer! Tell me you raise them......And you have to watch the giant Texas squirrels going for your nuts!

Hey Paradiggum - Howdy and Welcome to the Yard ! Nice pictures, looks like you live in a nice area. Have you gotten a Scrapper yet ? It's an awesome knife ! Tom

No I haven't picked up a Scrapper yet. Luckily I live in Ohio and have a local "cough cough" pimp selling items from the yard the nest and the trough. Rumor has it he's got a couple so I plan on checking them out.
I have a Basic 6 that I've been using. I imagine it's much the same animal.

Might snag one. Can't beat the price. You can beat the knife. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Nope we don't raise them. They're everywhere. Nobody hunts the land. If you'd even call it hunting. I do so much shooting around here that they aren't even phased by gunfire.

No crazy squirrels though. Thankfully.
