Does anyone have a link to a good saw for cutting the head off/ cutting through the skull to remove antlers/ removing limbs etc?
I dont think this is a brains type of operation.

I have never used a saw boning out a deer. The head just twists off, cut limbs at the joint with a knife.

I’ve always just used a good hunting knife.

For cutting the skull to get an antler cap as others have said an oscillating saw.

A trick I learned is to cut the hair/skin/meat down to the bone first as the saw will just jiggle them back and forth. Once it hits bone, it's like a hot knife through butter.

This. I use to use a Wyoming bone saw or a regular butchers saw. But the Sawzall works wonders. Cut the skin with a knife first.

I would advise not sawing anything if you can help it. There's not 100% confirmed data, the the resources out there today say to avoid cutting any bone, especially the spine and skull to prevent spread of CWD onto meat. For just doing a skull mount it's not as big a deal since the meat will already be off. A sawzall will cut bone just fine.

There's just not any good reason to be sawing anything with meat. I don't even cut sternums, it's just wasted time and effort. For skulls you need to cut right at the last neck joint with a knife anyway, so why cut it off with a saw first? Just cut it with a knife the first time. You can cut feet off with a saw if you wish. You can cut at the knee joints with a knife with no problem either though, so I don't see the point. It's just messier with a saw.

With whitetails, heads and feet twist off with a little knife prep.
