About the video clips Jim Miller, a 67-year-old hunter from Missoula, Montana, has been using this method of field dressing for more than 15 years. He hasn't packed out an animal using the tradition method in all that time. Note that he's demonstrating this technique in 10-below-zero weather. You can buy the whole video from Tuff Country Enterprises, www.huntfishshoot.com, 877-464-6824, for $19.95.
