What's your go to bone saw for carrying with you. I need ideas on cutting the pelvic and the sternum. My Wyoming saw is a little awkward cutting the pelvic and not the lightest to carry either.

I’ve been using a product from HME for the last several years now. It’s made of stainless steel, comes with a scabbard, is pretty durable, and oddly enough, it’s pretty cheap. After trying many different types over the last couple of decades I’ve found this product to be quite useful. So much so that I’ve been buying them and giving them out to my friends and they like it as well. https://www.amazon.com/HME-Products-...2266157&sr=8-1
I've looked at that saw. I like the brand and the price, Thanks
Battery powered Saws All would work just fine.
Hatchet works for pelvic bone. Handy tool for the woods.
I carry a variety of saws while hunting including one of the folding hand saws that you can buy at any home remodel store. All I use it for is to split the brisket and cut off legs on deer and elk. They have about a 10" blade that folds into the handle. I like the ones with finer teeth. Cheap, easy to find and use. I've been going to buy a battery powered saws-all to carry in the Jeep but haven't found what I want. I also carry a bow saw and a battery powered chainsaw so I can cut out down trees to get to an elk as I can't pack them out any more.
BIG OR SMALL I LIKE THEM ALL, 577 TO 22 HORNET.
elk hunter, I hear you on packing them out anymore. I bought a large 2 wheel cart for that. Sometimes you have to chunk them up into pieces, then roll the pieces to a trail and reload them for the roll out.
Wife and I have gone to the no gut field butchering technique, go down the back, peeling hide and remove all meat without breaking sternum or pelvis, lots of YouTubes on 'gutless technique. Before that used Wyoming Saw on pelvis and sternum. I have used a Buck with a saw blade and knife blade for deer and antelope. Depends how much beyond quarters, backstraps, tenderloins, you can strip the ribs and neck. I do use a 2 wheel cart or a plastic sled to bring the meat out, but it still takes a couple trips.
Interesting answers. Thanks. I'll have to question the people at IDFG and see if they might consider the no gut method wasting meat.
I use these Fiskars loppers, but I only use them to cut off the hoofs, though have used them once or twice for the sternum to see how well (or if) they worked. But get the ones with the Power-Gear, the regular ones don't cut as well.

My last 4 have been done with my serrated Kershaw pocket knife. It is a work out though…
I use the Knives of Alaska kit that has a bone saw for stuff bigger then sitka blacktails.... anything else, I use my Kbar knife and a chunk of wood for the pelvic bone...
