I recycle ANY game or fish I take if at all possible. Small stuff goes in my mulch pile big stuff goes further out back in the woods at my house or I have a friend that has 15 acres that let's me dump carcasses on his land. To me, it only makes sense to recycle it if you can. Why would you WANT to put it in a garbage bag and throw it in a landfill where it's just going to take up room and have that plastic laying around for years and years when other critters will clean up the scraps (except for large bones) in days?
