Saw for Cutting bones Elk and Moose

[alberta.elk]

Hello every body,
I am looking for buying a good quality hand Saw for cutting the bones of Elk and moose in field.
Some in the marketing have large teeth, and they are more suitable for wood cutting insted of bone cutting.

I would really appreciate if you could please inform me which brand and size work my application.

Thanks

Save your self the money and packing weight, just use your knife and cut at the knuckle and twist.

I've had one of these for quite a few years now and it has served me well. http://www.wyomingknife.com/saws.htm

I have had a Gerber Gator saw for the last five years that works very well. They come with two blades, one for wood and the other is a bone saw. Breaks down and has a small case which can be worn on your belt. Not that I have needed one but they don't sell replacement blades ??
* Just read FClighting's post above and it has replacement blades too. Gerber is pretty much the same but no replacement blades so I would go with the Wyoming saw*

I've got both a Wyoming saw and a gerber gater they are both good saws but my favorite saw to use in the field is a Stanley shark tooth saw (bought at hardware store and spent less on saw and leather case then what I spent on my Wyoming saw) got a leather case made for it and when I'm out hunting or trailing riding it stays tied to my saddle all the time, seen the idea from an outfitter that I used to work for and it works absolutely amazing and with the case I got made I can take off saddle and put in back pack or on my belt wouldn't want to carry it all day but if your packing light you would just do I've done and other say just cut at the joints and twist off

Disconnecting a moose spine with just a knife is a major test of patience. I think the time you save is worth the weight of a saw if the plan is to quarter it and pack it out.

I know what you mean, I've gone to Butchers and Packers and ask for a finer blade, they didn't have anything. My brother made one for his saw, I think he bought a fine band saw blade, cut it to size and drilled the holes. Not sure why they make the blades on the saws so coarse, it easier to cut with a finer blade.

i use a silky hand saw but bought a replacement blade with finer teeth on it an find it works perfect for what i need.

I have used the Wyoming II saw for at least 25 years, and have found it to be a very useful piece of equipment. It has been used to split the brisket, pelvis, and even halve moose, elk, & deer when a recip saw was not available. Replacement blades are easy to find at almost any sporting goods store or butcher supply joint.

Just use the gutless method and all you need is a little knife

I have had my Wyoming saw for over 20 years, and it has been used on many big game animals.

I've got a Gerber Myth Folding Saw Knife.
I've not had to replace a blade yet, but I'm a fan of it. No assembly required, and it plows through both ribs and legs when I've used it.

[Prdtrgttr]

Never mind the saw...go the gutless method. Once you use this method, you won't go back. But, if it's a saw you must have...the Wyoming is an excellent choice.

With the gutless method do you guys hang your animals at all?

Yes. Deer usually a day or two.
Elk or moose I like to hang at least a week.

[35 whelen]

Yep

Have one of theses too. Works great!

[husky7mm]

$11 coghlins folding saw works great. Cuts bone no problem, even cut the antlers off a few. When it bends or becomes to dull or breaks you just go buy a new one. I have had many different kinds of folding saws that were way more money and they all break or get dull. The $11 coughlin last 2/3 years. No tears are shed if you loose it.

This.
I've brought out dozens of animals( mostly moose) and never use a saw. The most used knife in my pack is a paring knife.

who sells wyoming saw in calgary? i have a g-man bone saw,replacement blade costs $15 at wholesale sports

[Scott N]

I've loved my Wyoming Saw since day 1.

dinohunter, you should be able to find one at most sporting good stores like Wholesale or Cabale's, they are common and popular for a reason.

Totally love my Wyoming Saw! I recommend a breakdown bow saw like this because it is way easier on your hands and makes super quick work of bones! I've tried T-saws like Gerber, but found I developed some deep blisters when sawing through heavy animals. Besides, you can't replace the blades on these when they dull.

[rfaempk]

Wyoming saw! Comes with a fine blade for bone and a coarser wood blade.

[Ranger CS]

I have used nothing but a Knapp Saw for the past 43 years. Great saw, easy to pack, course and fine tooth blade. Don't think they make them anymore but you can still find them on Ebay on occasion. I just bought one for my son off there last week.

[chimpac]

My 21" bow saw I use for dry wood cuts bone quite well. The teeth are all the same, no raker teeth.

[CanuckShooter]

Wyoming saws are great, just a word of warning....buy the bigger one as the shorty is too short to get a good cut going.
