One thing I' d like to recommend over Bowdacious' s technic is to not cut the pelvic bone. Instead, ring the anus from the outside in being careful to only cut the membranes securing the anal canal in the muscles. This way you can pull the anal canal/intestines out with the guts without cutting the pelvic bone and contaminating any meat around the area. This also aids in draining the blood out of the body cavity, makes an easier drag..again not contaminating any of the ham meat and doesn' t allow the back legs to flop. Try it, I think you' ll really find it a much better way to field dress and drag your animal.
