Recommendation on Bone Saws

[dak0ta]

Hi,

What do you guys pack for saws to cut through pelvic bones, sternums, and separate skulls/antlers?

Mostly just a knife but a small folding sandvik saw goes in my pack. A cordless recip in the truck is handy too.

Those folding Japanese pruning saws. Lee Valley sells them.

In the field a small 6 inch saw. Seen guys carry small axes, but they weigh too much for my liking.

I always have a bitch of a time at home cutting the skull plate off.

So a specialized saw for hunting isn't necessary per se?

I use a folding pruning saw, lots of brands out there and most use the same tooth design. buck moose limbs off no problem or deer antlers. Moose antlers are too tough, best do that back at camp unless you have a bone saw or patience.

A Dewalt 20v lithium ion reciprocating saw. Goes through very easy.

Large size havalon bone saw cuts through everything and anything. I've chopped up large bears, bucks and numerous other animals. It's my go to for skull capping deer as well.

I pack a small gerber in my pack that works ok in a pinch, but nothing worth writing home about. The slickest thing I've seen is a reciprocating saw but pretty expensive to use once a year. I've been thinking about buying one of those bow saw type meat saws from cabelas.
