The shot was applied cleanly, the piece lies - Waidmannsheil!

Especially in the warm to hot summer months, it is important to take care of the piece quickly (broken up and recovered), otherwise it threatens to overheat. Especially with stronger pieces, complications can arise if you do not have the right tools.

As in many areas of hunting, there are different methods and procedures. While one person breaks open his pieces lying down, another swears by breaking open the pieces while hanging. One opens the chest, the other leaves it closed. The same applies with regard to the lock. Once again, each person should do it in the way they are most familiar with and that suits their needs. Regardless of the method, however, there are tools that make breaking open easier, regardless of the concept, and to some extent also ensure the desired game hygiene during the breaking open process.

In addition to a sharp and sturdy knife, with which cover as well as rind and also organs and tendons should be effortlessly cut, a small bone saw is advantageous. Although some bones can also be cut through with the knife by skillful handling, this always has a negative effect on the sharpness of the blade and it is a much more sweaty job than using a good and, above all, handy bone saw.

Also a so-called skinner and a waidlochauslöser as well as a small hand axe can facilitate the Aufbrechen-Vorgangs particularly with strong pieces immensely and should therefore in a professional Aufbrechen-Set absolutely be present.

A break open set can be a useful tool especially for young hunters, because it is possible to work more expediently with different tools than with only one all-round knife.
