Who all uses a hook blade in a utility knife to make the opening cuts on critters? I started using one last season and I've been kicking myself ever since for not trying it sooner. I used it on coon, mink, fox, beaver, possum, and coyotes. I can't believe how well or how easy it works. It stays sharp too after over 200 critters I'm still using the same blade, although I turned it around after 150 or so. If you guys haven't tried it, you should. ~ADC~

Hunt with Dogs, catfish skinning pliars are used to grab and pull the slippery skin on catfish. They work good on other things too. they let you get a grip on the slippery stuff and you can pick a pair up at walmart i think.

I use them too. I ain't sure if I like to do the opening cut with it or not though. I seemto cut too deep with it. I use it to cut around the ankles and it works great for splitting tails. I find that you have to back the blade out in the oppesite direction of the cut a few times in the tail cut. It fills up with fur and doesn'tcut too well, especially on reds.
When they come to take your guns, give em your bullets first.

I use a blade like that for skinning hogs. We score the skin in 3 in wide strips and then pull it off with vice grips. I never tried them on fur.

The hook blades are the berries, and will open anything, including the side of your hand OUCH!!!! Here's a tip for those who are just starting, and a reminder for the rest of us...always cut AWAY from your hand

I use the hook blades and think THERE GREAT! Jlord if you hold the blade more perpendicular to the animal it won't cut as deep. After you do a couple it becomes easy not to gut one.
