Uses for an Axe/Hatchet

A few days ago I was fortunate enough to use it for what I bought it for, field dressing a nice white tail! It made short work of opening the H bone and chest cavity I don't know how I ever mannaged with out one in the past! I don't think I would have even needed a knife.

I don't worry about splitting the pelvis, but I've started fully opening the rib cages of whitetails during field dressing. I've gotten tired of doing "blind" work with a sharp knife, not to mention getting bloody up to my elbows. The Gransfors WH I had last evening made short work of a large whitetail I had to find and drag from a rough Jack Pine thicket. Sure worth the little weight it adds to a pack.

Great point about working blind.
