Butt out
That's a great idea...
but seriously if someone hypothetically had one stuck say maybe in them as you say approx 1 1/2 turns(clockwise right?) and didn't want to bother anyone could they get it out without too much damage and no mirror in the room? If someone could reply in the next couple of minutes that would be much appreciated I'll just stand around and wait.

I don't get it...if you just cut it off like they say, what's gonna stop poo pellets from getting all over your meat? And if you do tie it off to prevent this, then what is this thing supposed to be doing for you?
Has anybody here actually used one of these things?

Not being a hunter and never had to field dress a deer....What the hell did you guys do before this tool came along??? Can someone explain why you need to rip the arse out of a deer and how you woud do it with out that tool?

If trees are nearby I prefer the hang upside down by the tendons method with a small gambrel, and let gravity do all the work during the gutting, as done with pigs, and such.

But there are really allot of methods out there, and other factors involved.
Key part is to remember to keep things clean, your knife sharp, and to remember when handling a knife that you are also made of meat...oh and in Bear country be mindful of something sneaking up behind you.

You can also remove all of the edible meat, hind quarters, backstraps, shoulder, neck and rib skirt without ever going near the poopshoot and the guts. Very neat, fast & clean. Of course if you want to tenderloins (and one should be strung up if not) then the cavity will have to be opened. However, no messy gut work, just let them slide down exposing the loins for removal. I started this last year when packing out a cow elk. Leaves very little work for when you get home.
There is also another "quick skin" method using a pickup truck, a rope, and a tree, but that is more of an American thing.
And yes it was mentioned in the little booklet one of my old buck knives came with.
I've always thought a deer was one of the easiest animals to dress, not worthy the effeort of getting trucks and such, but we're veering slightly off course on this otherwise fine topic....

Is it dishwasher safe???
kbracey, this actually looks like it may be an aid in field dressing. i haven't tried it, but I will this year.
There are different ways to field dress. I often use the "No guts" , No Glory" method, whereby the animal is field dressed without the body cavity being opened. Basically the animal is skinned and the cormers cut off, and retained, The backstrap is filletted out and the tenderloins removed through a surgical cut near the spine.
The other method I use is to start with cuttig the tissue around the bung. Cut the connective tissue between the intestine and the hole through the pelvis to allow the end of the intestine to be pulled out far enough to be tied off. Then the body cavity is opened, the insides become the outsides, and when the inestine is the only thing holding at the pelvis, it is carefully pulled out with trimming as required. This whole process is done to keep the end of the intestine from spewing contents onto the meet, because the end has been tied off.
This butt plug, may save some time and effort.
Someone said it doesn't work well on moose, and that is disappointing. Perhaps we need something ala expanding broadheads to deal with different sized #######s.
