John;
Top of the morning to you sir, I hope the weather down in your part of Montana has been as mild as ours thus far and that you're well.

Thanks for bringing up the CWD issue, it's something that any travelling hunter needs to be aware of for sure.

We've started to do voluntary sampling of local deer here in BC and there's been a ban on bringing in any ungulate parts other than the boned out meat, hide and properly cleaned skull plate for a couple years.

There has been a bit of discussion on what "properly cleaned" might entail, but in discussions with the bios they'd like to see no tissue whatsoever and if one is inclined to give it a scrub with bleach they said it couldn't hurt.

But for sure where my family in Saskatchewan hunt there's CWD and it's been tough on the mulies especially.

All the best to you sir and Merry Christmas.

Dwayne

That's nice Don but you really should wash it off before you use it to slice apples.

here's the oe pocketboy next to the 3d handle one (and the weight of the oe one); like I said the original handled one is heavier, but more sturdy and isn't overly heavy (the blades are ~ 1/2 ounce)

Exactamundo.
A sharp knife will easily remove the lower legs once you learn where to cut. There’s a joint just below the hock on the hind legs that a knife will go right through. My dad worked in a butcher shop when I was a baby and he taught me where it is.

Here’s a video on how to do it. He’s doing it cold. It’s easier before the animal cools.

I typically don't carry a saw that much anymore as I've gotten to where I prefer euro mounts most of the time but when I do I use a Stanley wood saw that I ground down so it wasn't so bulky and put a light weight handle on it. It's probably the best thing I've used for cutting through bone.

I have good luck with this for cutting bone. carry and extra blade. very light compact. I prefer gutless and bone out. but for carrying out quarters works well

Yep no need for a saw on legs or to split a pelvis, a knife can do all the work.
