[L. Cooper]

It's very difficult to describe the process in a forum. If it is impossible to watch someone do it a few times before you do it yourself, then a Google search should give you good verbal and some picture/diagram directions to try. Find some instructions that make sense to you and give it a shot.

My hunting group starts with loosening the anus and then works from the inside. Avoid cutting any internal organs, of course. Approach it from the angle that there are many ways to do it correctly because everyone seems to have figured out a method of their own. You can too.

We ignore scent glands. We skin while hanging and warm if possible.
