I have no set way. Heck I use my $3 pocket knife, get right in there and open the body cavity right up. Take a good deep whiff of it and dig right in. I do like to grab the bladder and literally squeeze the urine ( I'll be nice) right out of the animal. That way, no risk of meat contaimanation if I accidental cut something I don't see. The poop shoot gets it next.
