Anyone use a sawzall to 1/4 their deer?

We use a saws-all and have a traditional meat saw for backup. Ours is the standard size. We can do several deer with no worries on battery life. We clean it with the hose between deer and use soap/brush after each weekend.

A compact may work just as well, never tried one.

All the time. Use it to cut the hooves off, head off, split the hips, etc

I killed one in Missouri ten or so years ago at dark when the temp was 2 degrees. The guide put it on the skinning rack and said he would clean it the next morning. I watched him cut the back straps out with a sawzall the next morning in -1 degree weather with a 20 mph wind.

It was the damnest thing I'd seen in my life up to that point.

a sawzall seems highly unnecessary for cleaning a deer

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

Yep, much easier.

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.
