archerystud Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 So I took my 1.5 year old Springer out pheasant hunting yesterday for the first time. Going into last hunting season she literally showed no interest in hunting so I figured I had a house pet which I was fine with. This past summer she was showing an interest so I took her out and she did awesome!So I figure I'll need to get back into bird hunting but I need some new poultry shears for cleaning. I've used some from Cabelas in the past that were okay but I'm wondering if anyone has any other recommendations?Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJH Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I think Gerber makes some as well. (You can get them at GM) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfman-k Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I like my Outdoor Edge shears, you can google them then look under hunting assesories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kentuck_ike Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I use a 11" or 12" tin snips. works great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderer Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 BUCK made a nice pair of shears that I envied for some time when my buddy pulled them out. I finally got a pair of Gerber's for the 4th Christmas I asked for shears. Both are nice but the Gerber set is shaped to use one side as a knife when you separate them. I skun a coyote with them. Tin snips will work but I like the little notch cut outs on the game shears to hold the bones in place for cutting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom7227 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 tin snips. if you bang something big get a set of loper shears. If you develop the skill you may find that it's cleaner to disjoint the legs and wings and get them off that way. If you shear them you end up with sharp bones that puncture the bags you're storing them in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
