RE: Pelvic Bone???
Could never figure out why people do it but to each his own! If you feild dress a deer properly you have to cut completely cut around the Anus or as one said "ring it" to get ALL of the anus and guts out. I used to laugh when I would go to the butcher and the first thing he would ask is " are you one of those a**holes that dont know how to cut out an a**hole but likes to make sharp bones on a split pelvic" If you still had the anus in he would not take your deer. So if you have to ring it to to actually get the "hole" out you are only five seconds and one guided slice away from pulling the butt hole entact from the inside and not getting any poo on you or the deer! I laugh at my one buddy who in the last four or five years I have watched break three good knives and cut his hand badly on them sharp pelvic bones as he is trying to fish out the poo pipe!
