LifeNRA Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Re: Removing Antlers I seen everything from a plain old hacksaw to a big toothed woodsaw. Two cuts on at the base of the antlers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mach1 Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Re: Removing Antlers Stay away from the chainsaw. I've seen some crazy things happen when the chainsaw comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSGB Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Re: Removing Antlers Only thing I've ever seen used was a hacksaw, with a bone blade of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adjam5 Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Re: Removing Antlers Use a hack saw with, the most, 24 teeth per inch blade. You can use a more tooth per inch blade, but it will gook up. For a skull cap I cut from the top of the eye sockets 1st back past the antlers, then the 2nd cut is straight down. Sure a sawzall/recip saw is easier and faster, but the deers head needs to be secure in order for good cuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun_300 Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Re: Removing Antlers Oh yeah, the good'ol reciprocating saw sure does the trick! A regular hacksaw will do a good job too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
