we never used to!!! as a matter of fact we didn't seperate the rib cage either,just cut the tube as high as we could reach up in the chest cavity its pretty easy if your knife is sharp..
as far as why its cut out?[

i'm not sure-rots faster?taints the meat?maybe
good question[&:]
Thanks! That's pretty much just what I do, I just cut up to the breast bone and reach up as high as I can in the chest cavity and cut out as much of the windpipe as I can reach. But you can't get it all that way so I wondered if all the windpipe needed to be taken out. I don't break the pelvic bone in the woods either because then they flop all around while I am dragging them through the woods. I think you can clean out the anus/intestine through there well enough without breaking the bone.
