SameYou can use what method YOU like and are comfy with.
AS long as the rules are follwed, External checks first, then all external cuts and then a gralloch watching out to avoid cross-contamination.
Then a post-mortem of the nodes and organs.
All my deer are taken in the fields and woods they are all roe and i like to see clients gralloch with as little meat exposed as possible as the deer will have to be extracted.
If they suspend to gralloch I will like to see a field gralloch carried out on 1 beast. Just to show you can do 1 as a suspended gralloch is not practicle in ALL situations.
several youtube videos showing field gralochs, some very good
Never tried it but have heard it works and theres the proof.I have never used an axe, but have used a bullet case, only because R.D.C. booklet said that if you lost your knife a bullet case could be used in an emergency, so I tried it yes it works , just flatten the mouth of the case and its sharp enough to perform a graloch, not the neatest of cuts but it does work.
Right just going to sharpen my axe.
thanks
I hate doing qualifications(exams)
It interests me why we in the UK use the such a clearly Scottish word gralloch and not - dressing out or eviseration (if that how it is spelt) any comments.
I am happy to use the word I was just curious.
Germans use the word Aufbrechhen (open-breaking)

I've always presumed it's origin comes from the time when the idle rich first started deer-stalking as we know it and headed up to Scotland. There they would have picked up the Gaelic expression and then brought it down South. With roe stalking being a comparatively recent activity (post WW2?) the word would have been carried over into the more general deer stalking vocabulary.
Someone on the site will doubtless correct me if I'm wrong!

We are now to show the smallest cut method for the field (when mentoring).
That is the food pipe cut off through a key hole incision and tied off with zip ties.
Also to expose as little amount of flesh in the field. Not to open from throat to arse.
