I do mainly to let the chest cavity drain and just so there is nothing manky in there to go off prematurely.
Also saves trying to find somewhere to dispose of it at the chiller.
I dont open up the skin on the neck usually, if its a young animal it will all pull out attached to the lungs if you reach up around them and grab the pipe.
Ends up looking no different to a gutted deer with its head cut off.
