we butcher our own deer, so we take the rib cag and cut it in half, then put the two parts in a couple of trash bags with the legs and head depending on it its a mounter. Then throw it in the trash no problems so far.

Normally ill just end up throwing it in the woods for the critters, but sometimes if its in the back of the truck and im going to one of my jobs ill throw it in the dumpster there.

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?

goes back in the woods. Like the others have said the poor little critters have to eat. They seem to really enjoy the easy meal.

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.
