2012 Deer season thread
bk09:
I started going at the pelvis with a bone saw but decided against it since I didn't want to risk cutting open any intestines.
JimP:
Nobody else has a story?

I shot a nice doe opening morning a few minutes after shooting time and stayed put in the stand to see if I would have anything else come by. Sure enough a little bit later a nice 4x4 came though and I put him down. Rifle season was over in less than 45 minutes with 2 nice deer on the ground!
bkoenig, was that the vax bullet you were talking about with the 300 blackout? How was the penetration, did you get a pass through?
I have a small handheld bone saw that is about 4" long with a plastic end I bought at scheels a few years ago. These work perfect for splitting the pelvic bone and the rib cage. I used to use a folding camp saw that worked well too until it broke. On the pelvic bone make sure you have everything out of the way and go slow and you won't get into any trouble! Used a hatchet a long time ago once. Not good results! Hacked meat and sharp bone slivers. Go with a small handsaw, less than $15 and it will last for years and are trouble free.

today was my first full day of deer hunting, but you wouldn't have known it. i saw zero deer, actually i saw a dead one from EHD. i did see four turkeys, about 12 rooster pheasants and four hen pheasants and a squirrel. i have also failed to trap anything. this might be a long week. :(
