Lisa, Make sure your family likes venison before you start counting on it for 
family meat.  I was deer hunting before I was old enough to start little 
league; but deer meat isn't for everyone, unless a person knows how to treat 
the meat.  I don't prefer strong gamey meat, so unless I'm back home where 
one of my brothers has a method of removing the gaminess, I pass on vension.  
Most people seem to like the gamey flavor and so don't treat the meat.  

I would not use that tool on any animal, unless the animal was  from Wall 
street, in NYC; then I might consider dressing it alive .  .........bobford
