Deer time is coming soon - post any deer cleaning pictures you have with your favorite Buck Knife. OH

That is a stunningly beautiful stag handle! OH

Thank you, feel very fortunate to have received it.

st8yd your Buck 539 is a nice looking knife. Tell us about it, have you used it yet? How does it feel in hand? How long is it? That one is real interesting to me. OH

I love it, it feels great, get it.
I have been using it for a few years now. From quail to deer.
When the factory sold the camo handled one out at $30 I regret not getting a couple.

This year I'll be using my alaskan guide 110,440c110, 103 skinner and d2 118 for deer hunting and processing chores,along with my 306 wrangler for tag cutting duties lol.

Hopefully you gents will take some pictures of those Buck's cleaning a deer (or moose, or elk, or bear, or antelope) and post them in this thread. I love seeing hunting knives doing hunting knife business. OH

Hunter, good. You don't care for the neck meat?

As Kathy told me many years ago 'Who are you saving it for?"...

Sound advice. I like the way you wrote that she told you a question. Not sure if it was on purpose, but it adds to the post.

Cool stuff guys.
Good luck hunting everyone.

I just remembered I once again gave away my 118. I need to start buying those in multiples. But everyone seems to agree how great a knife they are. Sorta surprised that there hasn't been any s30v, or s35v offerings in those lately. Especially considering how popular they are. If I had one of those I probably wouldn't give it away.....
Those D2 stag ones are awesome.

My Buck 118 is my hands down favorite deer knife but I'm not exclusively wedded to only it. I'm too much of a knife-nut to only try one. Here are some other pictures of Bucks working on deer. Don't want to give the idea this thread is ONLY for the 118 - it is FOR ALL Buck Knives being used on deer (and other big game). OH

Buck 113

Buck 103

Buck 110 (165 Hornady Bullet from 308 WIN).

 

[Old Hunter]

One more, a Buck 117. OH

Buck 110 skinning.

How about the new 657 Pursuit.
