What to do with the carcass?

[Stretcher Guy]

Lets say I shot an animal and want to harvest just the hide or just some of the meat what do I do with the carcass? I realize non hunters use the same areas we do and I don't think leaving skinned or butchered remains all over the place would be good for the sport.

The proper way to dispose of a carcass is to put in in with your weekly trash. I live in the area that had CWD and that is what I was told by the local DEC officer.

If you have ,Bobcats,fox or yotes around they will take care of it .If not the turkey buzzards will.

This year, I will be wiring it to a tree down in the thicket in front and use it for coyote and fox bait.

I dump mine on the edge of a field or something like that. Im not going to add to a landfill when deer die naturally and are eaten and rot all the time.

They are great predator bait.

Actually, leaving it for other critters is a beneficial way of recycling the remnants. Why not? I do understand the idea of not plopping it in front of non-hunters, but there are a lot of places away from hiking trails and such where nobody will have to trip over it.

When you think about it, I really don't go out of my way to hide the gut-pile. Within a day or two, it will disappear, and a few animals will head into winter with just a little more reserve in their tank.

Thanks for the replies. I'll place them out of human view. I didn't want to give the anti hunting crowd anything to use against us.

When I shoot a deer and field dress it the gut pile is gone the next day , lotta coyotes in my area !

Are you trying to find out how to properly dispose of an ex-wife carcass, perhaps?

Give back to mother nature

this will be the bundle that will be taken back to the wood's and left for the yote's coon's and other critter's minus the head of course. that will be skinned out and turned into a euro mount.
