    Never thought of it. Sounds like a good idea! I'll give it a try.

    I will be looking into the cordless sawzall for next hunting season. Doing a moose with a small pack saw sucks. A hatchet works though...just not as neat as a saw.

    Learned this from my Dad and have been doing it for years. Works very well. Unlike a chainsaw/sawsall, a small hatchet is easy to carry and therefore with you when you need it.

    Hi all
    I prefer to bring the quarters of moose or elk home whole whenever possible .A t-bone steak just ain't the same without the t-bone !

    Just make sure that the rib you pick to section it does not line up with the loins in the back. You will nip the ends off if you are too far towards the ass end. It is common sense if you look inside the cavity, you will be able to see it.

    What I use to cut up my animal is a 20 inch shark hand saw ,you never have to worry about the batteries dieing on you.

    Saws are great when they are Hanging, harder to use when they are on the ground.
