I don't cut the pelvic bone, but I use my porter cable cordless recip saw with a bimetal blade for cutting the legs.

Nothing but a knife. I carefully cut around the hip bone and get to the socket, You can pretty much do it all with a knife, but I have some small Fiskars clippers to remove the lower legs, it's just faster.

I keep a Milwaukee folding sawzall in my pack. Works for small limbs when climbing a tree too.
I don't use this; but saw it on amazon for cheap - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008T2M65...C3OTNPP1&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it
I have one similar to this but most of the time end up just cutting the butthole out and pulling it back through. Make sure your knife is sharp and don't bust the bladder.
Either cut around the socket, or use a hatchet to split
I use the old fashioned butchers saw. Some day I'm get a Sawzall and get it done quick and easy

This is me! I cut around hip sockets, and remove the hip joint whole. If Im butchering out at home I use my limb loppers to quickly nip lower legs. It's way faster and easier.Nothing but a knife.

If Im in the woods doing a gutless method, I have a folding limb saw that will get used to remove lower legs.
Same device and I split the sternum too with it….. (reminds me of doing it on humans with a $10,000 stainless steel electric jig saw)! Ha!
I looked at that same saw at dunhams . Is it sturdy ?
I've got a Browning folding hunting knife that I'm going to list son. I've had it for years but, given my age, it needs a new home. It has a traditional blade, a gut hook and a saw.

No need for a saw on a deer. Just a 2.5in pocket knife blade is all you need.
Even the legs are a piece of cake to separate off with a pocket knife by just popping 4 tendons at each joint.

The ONLY thing I need a saw for is removing the skull cap in order to stay legal when hunting other states. For that, I use a battery powered sawzall.
Said it to whom? When? I'm lost...
