What are you guys removing the tag leg with on a statewide any deer tag? After deboning the deer, are you using a bone saw (which one) or are you using a hatchet (which one)?

Thanks

I just use a knife. Cut around it and then separate the joint. No need for a saw or hatchet.

Griz,

Are you separating at the first leg joint or are you talking about the hip?

Thanks

First joint.

Steve, either way, no need to use anything more than a knife. Just cut the ligaments, give it a twist, and it'll pop right off. Hip joint just cut around the ball and it'll peel right away.
