Quoted: Ok, for those of us that don't hunt, what the hell did he cut into? Rumen. The first stomach. He waited too long to field dress and the chyme continued to ferment, making gas. Because the animal could not burp, pressure built up. And he stabbed too deep with a knife that was too long. I have never nicked the viscera, even on the thousands of rabbit and squirrel. The trick is to enter in the chest, then using fingers to guide the blade, pulling on the abdomen wall and guarding the blade, unzip. There are specific knives made for unzipping, they cut from the inside out, like a letter opener. Wyoming knife has this on the back side. |
