I generally just use my fingers but if you must then I've seen a great little Remington multi-tool that would work great.

GSP,
Do you hunt anything other than birds. Since I've been hunting (25 yrs and counting) I've stuck my hands in some god awful places and really never got the EWWW factor.

It's just a bird, yank a hole between breast and pelvis, fish around in there until you've got all the guts out, pop a pinky thru the pooper and yank. Viola, field dressed bird. Wipe hands, take a dip of your favorite tobaccy and keep hunting.

A good pair of kitchen shears are worth their weight in gold. I've got a pair from Wally World pair that are great, just throw them in your back pack and you're good to go and oh by the way GSP if you have a good place to hunt pheasants me and my vizsla are available for one-on-one bird cleaning lessons.

WWB,
I actually let my dogs eat the hearts as a treat when I field dress the birds. Keeps them from looking for the rest of the guts they go one way and heart gets thrown next to him and I make him stay until I release him to get the heart. Works pretty well.

GSP,
Good lord that's a lot of birds. I usually make it up to the hinterlands at least once a year. Generally I go to Washington State for a little mixed bag of Pheasant, Quail, Chukar, Grouse.
Is there any wild birds up that way?
