I've used a sawzall on elk at home to cut the top of the pelvis and the short section of vertebrae on the back half.
When I had horses and did wilderness elk hunts I would use an axe to split the entire backbones of the elk that I shot. Then I could just tie a quarter on each side of two horses, and it would be an easy pack out.
