Every 2-3years, I go down to Lowes or Home Depot and buy a miter box saw. I think they call them cross cut saws now. About $15. I use them every year on elk

Take a look at Knapp on eBay. Best saw ever made!
Take them to your local saw shop every few years and have them sharpen it. I’ve had mine for about 20yrs.

9 inch pruning saw blade for your cordless sawzall..... I've done that, and it sure does work if you're OK with the weight or hunting off horses. I saw a small chainsaw used one time too. Other than the bar oil getting on things, it worked pretty good . As far as a bone saw, the original Wyoming saw is what I have used for quite a while. I believe there are some knock offs out there....so make sure to get it through Wyoming Knife products. I've quit carrying it though, since I discovered using a good hatchet, and don't even use one of them anymore on critters since going completely gutless. All a guy needs is a knife and knowledge of the joints.

Just a hatchet to split the brisket and the pelvis, then a sharp knife to cut into and through the joints.

I have little personal experience with using saws on animals as I am a solo back pack hunter so everything gets broken down with a small kestrel (A+!!!) knife and packed out deboned. The times I’ve hunted with others that prefer to drag out animals whole or literally cut into quarters I have seen generators with recip’s, large bow saws, hatchets or just a heavy bladed knife with a nearby stick used to hammer it through sternum and pelvis, used. A couple years ago as I was leaving a quick morning hunt I ran into an older fellow that I’d met a couple times over the previous days prior, headed into an area near where I’d been glassing from a bluff. He’d shot a decent bodied muley off a ridge and was circling in below as far as he could get with his truck. It dropped in an extremely rough area! As he didn’t have a pack and was headed in on foot with a small fluorescent toboggan, I offered to help knowing he was in for a rough morning ahead. He pulled out a “Japanese pocket saw” (folding keyhole saw) his son had bought him wearing a 12tpi blade and sliced through pelvis and sternum like butter. I have to say I was impressed even if it isn’t my style. It was a slog of a pull out and for my help he gave me that saw though I tried to tell him I didn’t need it and would most likely never use it (holds true). For those that like to do things that way I do recommend that little pocket saw and at 6” and 4.4oz it’s not much effort to carry. https://www.leevalley.com/en-ca/shop/tools/hand-tools/saws/keyhole/63146-japanese-pocket-saws

Wyoming saw. I’ve had one for 20 years. Yep 👍 Yep for the third time. As a side note, I drilled holes in my end handle for a slight weight savings with no adverse issues.

9 inch pruning saw blade for your cordless sawzall..... We did that last year. For what we do, which is lopping legs off at the ankle and occasionally cutting moose ribs, I don't think it is worth it. You make the fastest part of the job slightly faster. So you turn 6 minutes of cutting with a handsaw into 2 minutes of cutting with a sawzall. Even fully mechanized, that isnt worth it to me. Now, if you are splitting ribcages down the spine, thats a different story. But we have avoided that so far, and I hope that luck holds. My vote goes to the stanley sharptooth.

Vern, it looks like Stanley makes several versions with different teeth. Which do you prefer? Thanks.

I have used a Gerber Sliding Saw with a bone blade for years. Made in the USA and it has always worked well for me.
