You don't have to. No need to open the brisket in the field. Just release the wind pipe at the thorax sort of like you did with the bum and pull from the inside.
But if or when you do open the brisket (like when you hang it up in your shed) you follow the line of gristle to one (either) side of it and don't try to go down the middle. You will find it quite easy.
Well done on the deer.
