POST FALLS, ID — The gobbler you have been yelping at is sounding closer, then the bird appears and seems to float across the opening with its tail fanned wide and wings dragging the ground. Your tug of the shotgun's trigger finds its mark. Your hunt has ended, and now the work begins.

You need a knife.

Buck Knives, Inc., a global leader in the hunting, EDC, adventure tools, pocket knives, and cutlery markets, makes numerous knives that will help you with chores from notching your tag to removing the bird's breast and legs for cooking.

If you are a hunter who prefers a fixed-blade knife, then the model 663 Alpha Guide Pro knife could be a top choice. This knife provides a 4.375 inch drop point blade crafted from S35VN steel, so it has a fine sharp point for deboning and is also durable for removing the gobbler's legs and thighs. Another fixed-blade knife to take a serious look at is the 102 Woodsman with a 4- inch clip point blade that is designed for detailed chores. The sturdy Woodsman features full-tang construction and a finger guard integrated into the blade. Another option for those counting ounces into the hunting vest or daypack could be the 635 PakLite Cape, which weighs less than 2 ounces, has a drop point blade and features a skeletal design. Additional details on those knives can be found at www.buckknives.com.

For turkey hunters who prefer a quality folding knife that will stay sharp, the 110 Slim Select can be carried in a pocket with the stainless-steel pocket clip or easily stashed in a vest pocket. There are three choices in handle colors, including orange to prevent the knife being accidentally left on the ground. Turkey hunters from coast-to-coast also pack along the iconic Buck 110 Folding Hunter and the more compact 112 Ranger Knife. More than a half-dozen model variation of the 110 Folding Hunter and 112 Ranger are available.

The gobblers are out there, so be prepared when you down your bird. Good luck and stay safe.
