Pruning shears for cleaning?
I was thinking about whether pruning shears would be useful in cleaning/butchering dear, especially for clipping off the hooves? Is metal too brittle to use to shear bone?? Anyone give it a try??

I use a samll pair for squirrle and rabbit but never for deer. But I think it would work.

If you cut them in the joint, you can cut through the ligament and cartlidge with a good knife!
