Default RE: What do you do with your deer carcass?

Interesting! What if I told you guys that you may be contributing to the spread of CWD by dumping your carcasses "out back"? There was a study done, where they allowed a CWD infected carcass to rot in an enclosed pen. After allowing the thing to totally decompose, roughly 1.8 years, they introduced health, wild deer into this enclosure. And would you believe that the deer contracted CWD by eating the grass where that carcass was laid? Being a taxidermist has opened my eyes to a lot of newer research about CWD. The landfill is the best option. I double bag and put it in the can.
