    Dealing with a hairy crotch

    So normally when I shoot an animal I fully bone it out in the field where it fell so that I am not carrying anything out that I don't eat.
    On my last two hunts, I shot one deer and 5 goats and due to bad weather and having my quad so close, I took the back steaks, and all the legs, leaving the skin on. I discovered that the best way to do this was to first take the lower leg sections off at the first joint, than cut the legs off the body and place them in large rubbish bags. Once back at base, I used a S-hook through the top of the leg (so that it is hanging pointy end down) which made is really easy to skin since all the hair is pointing down hill (same direction as your cuts) and any loose hair is falling away from the exposed meat where the legs were removed from the body.

    My issue is, when cutting the legs off the body in the field, there is a huge amount of hair getting onto the freshly exposed cut around the joint (a hairy crotch) which is very annoying and time consuming to deal with later. I don't have this issue when I fully bone out as I am very particular with my cuts.

    So what does everyone else do to prevent the hairy crotch syndrome?
