I've said before that this isn't a review site to make money and I still don't do solicited reviews of new products, though I've had some offers this year. I simply like to pass on information on products I've bought, used and found to be outstanding, in one way, or another. This latest product is no exception.
I bought the Butt-Out (TM) on a whim, a few years back. My youngest daughter and I were shopping for a few items for the upcoming deer hunt. We came across the Butt-Out and my daughter, of course, could not stop laughing at the name. It was worth the $6.99 to watch her laugh and laugh, even if I never used the thing.
So, after a few days of butt jokes, I began the hunt for some whitetail goodness to put in the freezer. I took a nice, fat fork opening morning and as I began to dress it, I remembered the Butt-Out, still in its package and in my truck.
The instructions were simple; jam it in the deer's ass all the way to the hilt, twist 1 1/2 turns and slowly pull out 10"-12" of intestine. Then tie it off and cut off the tag end, freeing the Butt-Out. It was more than easy and took about 7 seconds. I was highly impressed. I finished dressing the deer as normal, except I did not need to saw, or break the pelvic bone, or core the asshole. The intestine and anal canal just pull back through as you sweep the guts out of the body cavity! It took about 10 minutes off the total time to dress the deer, made the task cleaner, easier and less unpleasant. Don't let anyone kid you, dealing with an animal's asshole is not pleasant on any level. Check out this very short video at Hunter Specialties to see how quick, clean and easy it really is to deal with the ass-end of your next venison meal:)
I've used the Butt-Out on my last three deer. It works and works well and is more than worth the money. I would recommend it to anyone that hunts and field-dresses deer, elk, antelope, etc. It can be found in most sporting goods stores, gun shops, Wally World and online at Cabelas and Hunters Specialties. This year, I noticed there is even a Butt-Out 2 that is longer and has a guard below the extended handle. Both models come in hunter orange and if you look real close in the image of me beginning to dress the nice little B&C 143 1/2 eight-point I took during this year's hunt, you can see a flash of orange. Yep, the Butt-Out in action, folks...

Underpaid and unappreciated
Just read a nice article on bloggers that get paid to review products and often mis-represent them, or at least present a biased view. I have never received a dime for any of these reviews. I've never had contact with the manufacturers, except to steal images from their websites (no apologies there, since I'm reviewing their shit). I am, however, waiting for them to call and offer me lots of money or free products......................................................still waiting, folks.........................................how about a half-off coupon?
Anything?
Well, as you can see, totally unsolicted, un-biased and WAY underpaid opions are all you're going to find here:(
