I had one farm where I was allowed to dump in his Manure spreader. Another where I dumped them in his ditch where they dump brush and such.

I use most of my carcasses for land line draw bait. That way dumping on public land is legal here, whereas if I was just dumping carcasses I could be cited.

I have a neighbor I don't like.


I have nothing clever to put here.

I have a farm that lets me dump them way out in the far corner of a field

before I had that I composted them in my composter or dig a hole to bury them in my garden

it doesn't take a lot till digging gets old

We have a property owner/farmer who has us dump them in a field. He likes watching the eagles and other critters pick at them.

Depending on time of year, we also save and use them for bait.

Back years ago there was a family that had hogs in a pen, they welcomed me to feed them all I could get. It's an eye opener to see them tear into a carcass or 50.

That method works on trespassers too.

Where do you think Jimmy Hoffa disappeared too? Pig pen food most likely.

I carry a few carcases and cache them all over my line to develop more draw stations. Behind fallen trees. boulders and brushy ditches etc.

I take mine back on the line and dump in a ditch. Eagles clean them up pretty fast but I’m not taking the large numbers some of you are.

I have a couple of piles. Deer and trapline.

Dead feral pigs are left for bait throughout the farm. Same for the occasional livestock loss.

X2 actually know of a few locations like that.

The ones hate are the people who throw them off a bridge in the water.

I have a burn pile of brush usually every year. That's where my canines end up. But everything else that get fed upon gets piled in certain areas for later use.

I have a steep, wooded hillside I toss carcasses on. It's littered with a great many skeletons, from 13 years of accumulation. It resembles a Khmer Rouge site.
