Ayup, however, I'm no expert but doesn't the butcher have to use some type of cleaver to cut through the bones. So much of the meat comes already packaged but some butcher someplace is using an electric gizmo which might be similar to a chainsaw. Any retired butchers out there?

I'm guessing again as I'm no hunter myself, but I think the deer in Vermont are taken home and hung up to age before they butcher them. Anyone know ? Some do it themselves and it wouldn't surprise me at all in the State of Vermont if the guys did use a chainsaw. Others took it to a butcher and I have no idea what they use to cut through the bones and carcass,etc.

My husband always defended his hunting with the fact that we all eat beef and chicken and other forms of meat that were once walking around before being killed. But that is another subject entirely.

The article in the paper was on trophy hunting not on the need for food.
