The ultimate bone saw...

[USP]

Anybody got any tips which one this would be? I got knives, sharp sticks, clubs and hammers...but not a decent saw. Recommendations? Thanks

hands down gerber

Gerber exchange a blade saw comes with bone and wood blades. the bone blade is great, the wood blade is unreal

After you try, it's the only way too fly.

For moose I use a Stanley Fat Max.

I've tried most bone saws and none work as good as a real saw.

I do like the idea of a cordless reciprocating saw though.

X2 on both the Wyoming and Gerber buck saw/meat saw packages. They are very handy and portable.

When, I'm not worried about weight, I pack this :

I've got the 444 and it splits a moose in about 20 seconds!

I like the gerber better as it's a little nicer shaped (handy/easily carried) when packed up.

Both are simple to use and cut bone incredibly fast.

I have one similar to this now. I had a gerber but it broke last fall trimming shooting lanes. The folding saws work very well for brisket & pelvis but haven't quartered anything with one.

I have a cordless reciprocating saw but don't take it hunting anymore. Not impressed with battery life in the cold. I prefer a hatchet & hammer in the field if the animal has to be broken down to transport.

Buy a small gas powdered chain saw. and only use cooking oil insted of chain oil in it. Does a moose in seconds.

x2, I see other ones in our group, but they don't seem to get used.

A chainsaw is great for halfing a moose. But it's pretty hard to pack all over the place.

I have a wyoming saw in my daypack that works well for deer sized critters. For longer trips, we use a swede style saw that has both wood and bone blades. It works well on larger animals. At home we use a corded Dewalt reciprocating saw with 12 inch blades. this gives a pretty clean cut. I have split several beef this way, but you must use a quality blade. I also replace the blade after splitting 2 or 3 beef.

thanks guys for the info. The cordless stuff is nice, but its to big for me to pack all over the place. I dont have an ATV so its all foot power...up the hill..down the hill

I'm all for the Gerber as well, also great for bowhunting when trimming lanes or building a natural groundblind.

If you're packing everything on your back you could go gutless. I've never done it but you could look into it as an option.

Axe? Bit messy but works for me.

Order of preference.
