    Wyoming saw for me. But as some said, you can do a lot with a pruning saw too.
    Only I ever need a saw for is to split the sternum and remove a skull plate (antlers attached) if and when required.
    Bottom line it needs to be light weight and very packable.

    Only if you want to spend the bling on one.
    I use a cheap hand saw from home depot for field work. Use it on 3-4 animals, pitch it and get another. A hand saw for bones is just another "consumable" item like plastic bags and rope.

    Don't need one if you use the gutless method. Why waste time sawing through any bone when you can cut and bone out an animal quickly and easily.

    With that said, I do carry a Wyoming saw for cutting small trees etc. from the trail.

    Cheers

    Got a vid of the gutless method? I thought you open up the sternum and pelvis and just cut the trachea and diaphragm and pull everything out the rear end. That was easy enough, it's easier?

    Also what's the best way to saw off the top of the skull with the antlers?

    Silky saws. Love them. Got a folding one with a coarse blade for wood and a fine blade for bone in the pack. I have another larger fixed blade one in the quad.

    Silky Gomboy. Cuts fast, smooth, effortlessly. Doesn't rust if it gets wet and you forget to dry it off. Lightweight. Blade bends well (instead of snapping)Orange handle is nice

    Best thing I have ever used is the wyoming saw http://www.wyomingknife.com/saws.htm

    Have had mine for over a decade, done brisket, ribs, pelvis, cut out antlers, on more moose, elk, deer than I can recall, Have even split moose north/south right through the spine no problem. have also used the wood blade lots cutting small blowdowns out of a trail etc. Still using the original blades that come with it, breaks down nicely for packing, but is still extremely sturdy.

    HIGHLY reccomned!
