I never use one. I cut the knee joints out with a knife and disconnect the ball socket at the hip. Anyone else do this??

I just de-bone while they're still hanging.

I use a chain saw......

I debone while hanging

I don't doubt it

Damn Fred, you got a leather mask you use too? I cut at the joints, do not use a saw anymore.

X2. And sometimes while it's lying in the woods.

Sawzall in the skinning shed.

my brother is a surgeon in south Fl. I watched him cut up a deer with a chain saw several years ago....fair job...I think he is a better surgeon than meat cutter..LOL

I've cut em with everything and anything, including a flint flake. I've done em every way it can be done and made up a couple. Nowdays I just get em out of the cooler and I haul em to the processor and drop em off.

Debone while hanging no need to ever cut a bone. The whole deer is cleaned with a knife only.

check out this link....the easiest way i have found so far
Find the hidden tenderloin

I use only a knife. ball joint at the hip. and at both knee and elbow joints.

Only bone I cut is the neck. Debone the rest while it is hanging.

Same here, except I don't hang a deer to clean him. It's all on the ground or tailgate. everything is deboned with knife including neck. Only thing saw is used for is removing antlers from skull and I use a saw zaw for that when I get home.
