What kind of saw?

archerybart · Oct 11, 2009

So if one were back packing into remote areas archery hunting for big bulls what kind of saw would you carry to cut the horns out of the skull after harvesting a bull?

I go back fairly deep so I'd like to be able to lighten the load as best I can.

Thanks in advance!

I have used an old Knapp saw for years with pretty good results. The lightest saw that may work on bone that I've seen is merely a wire saw blade that has an eye on each end for putting your finger through...not sure what they are called and who makes them. I've seen them in the Sportsmans Warehouse camping supply.

I usually pack my entire elk skull out for a european mount..but you are right it ways a frick'n ton with the antlers!
