I never split the pelvic bone in thefield I always just cut around. I try to minimize how much of the animal I open up before he is hangin in the garageto keep any unwanted dirt dust and stuffout of the animal when its beingdragged and transported
Exactly...keeps dirt and debri from contaminating the meat...I never split the pelvic any more, ring the anus and pull it out, makes for better dragging etc...I worry about splitting it once it's hung.
