[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 836810, member: 39764"] Not trying to insult or demean you in any way but if I had a cage holding my head on (and that sounds serious in the least), I'd go hunting with a friend that has no disabilities, not alone at anytime or anywhere when the premise is bringing an animal out or the terrain is remote and rugged.... Besides, if anything happened (and it does, believe me), even a small mishap could be serious for you possibly fatal. I realize you are proud and determined but someone along to help would be immeasurably beneficial. Many years ago, when I was an Eagle Scout, I camperd alone often but I wasn't hunting (fishing yes) and I was young and even then I had a few close calls. Being young allows you more latitude. I don't have the lattitude now.... I'm no youngster and I've always hunted with a partner, always. Poop happens. You don't want to become poop. Finally, get yourself (and your friend) a Havalon knife. Len sells them on this site, Cabelas has them and you can buy direct from Havalon (I think). It's a surgical scapel in a folding handle, it's stupid sharp and when it gets dull, you toss one blade and replace it with another. The only drawback I've found (other than severing a finger if you aren't careful) is the blade are somewhat brittle, probably due to the fact they are micro honed Japanese steel and they work super for removing meat but you need a knife with rigidity but still ductile for cutting around bones. I carry my trusty Old Timer folder for that. It's 40 years old and still does the job. If it's good enough for a surgeon, it's good enough for me and they aren't that expensive. Just my opinion. Again, I admire yo ur determination, it's just much easier and safer with someone other than yourself, you trust. Additionally, Optics Planet (and I suspect others) sell books dedicated to field dressing game and preservation. I have one for deer and iot's invaluable in the field. It's a pocket book with plastic encased pages so it's impervious to the weather (and bodily fluids like blood) so you can have it close at hand when dressing out an animal. [/QUOTE]
