Carp are that bad. They are non-native, invasive species.

We bury most of ours in our field. Makes great fertilizer.

We also give some to folks that eat them. (yes, they are edible) We give some to wildlife rehabilitation places. In some states (check your laws) it's legal to slit the fish open and put them back out into the water. Even where legal, only do this in areas away from beaches, ramps, docks, etc.. (obviously )

Farmers often will let you put them in an out-sight, out-of-smell area in their fields... ask around.

Many Lake Managers do not want the carps in their lakes and if you ask for a place to dispose of the fish, they may help you out.

Whatever you do.... don't leave them laying around where people will see or smell them.

Have fun!
