Probably the issue being that he cut 1' above his face cut instead of 1-2" lol.

Deer brains do make a mess but haven't found a quicker way to get them horns off.
Inadvertantly cut a raccoon in half that was in the middle of a hollow log.

Guilty.
I've used my Wildthing for the same purpose. Of course doing so does ruinate the chain in an instant but it was faster than using a Sawzall. (reciprocating saw)
Like this?

I didn't think it was strange to cut at the time, but looking back,,,,,
Round Bales, quartered a few up to make it easier to use the pitchfork.
Skidder Tires, cut sidewall out for feed bins for catle
Ice, cutting holes in the edge of ponds so cattle can drink during the winter(when I was living in Montana) Also had to cut a cow up with a saw that died in the race leading up to the head bail, waited till she was frozen, easier to handle(another Montana story)
Cut the back bone of cow we butchered, tho there was a few complaints of bone splinters in the T-bones lol.
Had a hornery old cow that tried hooking us in the yards when we where drafting, had a nice pointy set of horns too, fil told us to "cut those damn things off!!!!" all us ringers that day forgot our horn saws(small limbing handsaws) But a chainsaw was handy, off they went, after that she was a sweetheart and stayed hidden in the middle of the mob whenever we where nearby.
Cut plenty of lizards and snakes that where hidden in hollow sections of cypress pine when I was a faller as well. Chassed a possum with a saw up a hollow log once to, everytime I cut a section off he would move a bit further up, first I noticed of this is when the hair came out the cut, just a lite trim, no blood, and he was on his way.
Cheers

Cut into a beehive onetime and another time went through a big hollow log and had a pair of panty hose stop the saw, Clogged it up just like chaps would. they came from a squirrels nest in the log. The squirrels was in there too.

I cut the lugs off of a set of 30.5 tractor tires, making tires for a modified. Rubber is really hard on chain by the way

I cut the tops off of plastic 55 gal. drums with my 026.. that was hard on the chain
Watched a guy cut some sheet metal and plywood with roofing shingles still on it. He just bought the poulan saw he done it with. Afterwards he hands me the saw and says"will you sharpen the chain for me". What could i say, i owed him more favors than either one of us could count. Took a while to sharpen, Handed it back a couple of days later and he says"good, i have more to cut up" I didn't even ask what, was scared to.lol
I used the little 009 to cut a hole in my roof for a turbine vent. Any rough and nasty carpentry cutting I usually do with an old bar and chain. Quick and dirty gets it done.

Quartered a moose that was dropped in a muskeg because we were running out of day light. Wouldn't have been much left by the bears if we waited until morning. Split a pig that was purchased way too large to fit in the smoker whole.
You really had to clean the saw up afterwards, Woulda got to stinkin pretty bad.lol
