Carcass Disposal

Putting your carcass in the woods is in my opinion the best thing to do. Even on public land, just don't throw them in a parking area or in a ditch, thats where the bad image comes from. I toss mine on public land every year. I will toss the resort hunters carcasses on public land too. Nobody will even know or care.

Just because no one knows doesn't make it right. What you are doing is still illegal. I think its a bad idea to be promoting illegal activity, don't you?

Also is that resort storing the bagged remains on their property or yours? If its on their property what is your dog doing over there in the first place? If your dog is going on to their property to retrieve the bones then your dog is the issue.

A coworker was telling me today about how during his hunt somebody dumped multiple carcasses out of their truck in the ditch next to his land. He was not too happy about it... Just pulled right up and pushed it out into the ditch... Awesome...

Really You can't be serious

From the MN DNR:

Hunters who process their own deer may not dispose of carcasses

on public land, including wildlife management areas, state forests,

road rights of way or in any water body. Deer carcasses may be disposed

of in the following ways:

• On private land with the permission of the landowner.

• Through your refuse hauler after checking on how to properly

bag the carcass.

• At a local landfill.

We usually tie ours up to a few trees on our property(yes it is way out in the boonies and deep in the woods). And normally before it gets too snowy the birds and all the other animals have it reduced to a pile of bones. We ended up putting a few trail cameras on our gut piles this year to see what comes around. I know the crows sure wanted at them opening afternoon!

I don't process my own but over the years from the looks of it most dump that [PoorWordUsage] on my approach into my land, boxes of cut up parts etc. Also leaves and whatever, I'm sure the culprits would leave it alone if I put up a no dumping sign, I doubt it.

I am not in favor of just dumping a carcass where everybody can see it but what is the difference between a gut pile and a carcass. Nobody wants to see it and they usually dissapear in a few days to a couple of weeks. Like I said in an earlier post we just burn them in the outdoor woodstove. If you are going to dispose of them in the woods just don't stock pile them. Spread them around so more animals can have a good feast. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
