Never know Back in 07 I worked for a tree trimming company names Asplundh. We were in our last tree of the day and I was up in the bucket. Our stihl was in the shop. Husky ran outta gas and our hydro line was busted in the hydraulic saw. We had about 3 branches to prune around a power line. We had a Ridgid 18v in the toolbox and put a long wood blade on it and got those branches down. It was light easy to maneuver and safer. Been using them to take down branches and limbs ever since.

I debone my while hanging, I hate the little bits of bone in my meat.

Yep, hunted a club where a portion of the meat killed on every other one went to the camp kitty. Had to split it down the back bone, hell of a lot better than a meat saw.
I don't drop the guts if I don't have to but if I have a walk in cooler at my disposal I'd much rather use a sawsall to split the sternum.

I used one a couple hours ago. I used the long wood blade to split it up after skinning. It will get deboned tomorrow and make smoked sausage .

Somebody's been watching Dr. G the coroner show. Good idea.

I bought this LINK in the spring time.
I used it this past week to clean 6 deer and it worked great. The difference between it and others is you can use it one handed while holding the deer with the other.
I used it to cut leg and pelvic bones.

Yep sawzall works great for cutting through the neck, pelvis and also separating the ribs from the backbone. I have used it more for hog ribs than deer as i usually don't mess with deer ribs.

nah, no hot water at the camp meant the sawzall stayed nasty. We tried an oscillating saw, and while it was cleaner, soft tissue would gum up the blade. The limb cutter can just be hosed off

My wife’s granpa used to kill and butcher his own cattle and he used a chainsaw to quarter etc .... my wife made him replace the chain oil with vegetable oil ...... I helped once and wore my helly gear and rubber boots .... ya it was chainsaw massacre/scarface . sorry for the hijack but the OB likely appreciates the hijack ;)

Yeah that cat spends more time a day with a knife in his hands than I do with an ink pen or a computer mouse.
I'll stick to my sawsall.

How do you cut through the pelvis and backbone to remove the hams with a skinning knife?

Sheers to cut the legs. Neck cut around then twist off. Front's just use your knife. Ill look for a video but just cut the hams off inside then filet the outside off. No need to take home the bones for the hinds after you can take all the meat off in less time than getting a saw out.

Yeah I was super impressed, but he doesn't do that for free.

You don't have to.
At my shack in MS I use just a knife. I slice off the backstraps, pull the tenderloins out, slice off each shoulder quarter and then cut out the hindquarters at the ball n socket joint. Shanks/hooves are cut off at the joints. Any other exposed meat around the pelvis or neck is sliced off in chunks. The rest of the carcass dragged off into the woods for the yotes.
Two times in this situation I wanted the rack. It was a little brutal just twisting and cutting the head off, but it got done.
It is much easier at the Arkansas camp with hoists, sawsalls, lights and a hosepipe under a skinning shed.

It's better to learn how to dejoint the deer rather than worrying with a saw. The knife is actually faster and less cleanup.
When guest at our camp pull out the saw to cut on a deer, all the old men roll their eyes and walk off, lol.
