innards??

[Dan1982]

okey dokey! i know this is a bit gross for a sunday morning but this haz puzzled me for a long time. when out and about how many of you trap or hunt whilst wild camping?
if you were to catch something small ie, rabbit, pheasant etc... what do you do with the innards? i dont fancy eating them so how do you dispose of them?

any help as always would be great!

I'm sure the fox would clear up there Dan. Or you could use them as fish bait. I hear eels and those pesky signal crayfish love them.

Take a trowel (or just make a digging stick) and bury them Dan - I certainly never leave any remnants from field dressing around - someones kids might be next along that trail.

Fair point Red. I wasn't advocating leaving them on a path though but being a bit discreet as the fox will dig them up anyway.

In my best Brummie accent, "Ducks love guts!"
It has been told to me on several occasions and I have yet to prove whether it really is the case as I would normally do as British Red says. Untill they are introduced to hunting and field dressing, children should be spared the experience of stumbling through the delights of someone elses discard. I am also informed that the bacteria and enzymes would be beneficial to a dug latrine.

Depends where you are. If you are close to habitation where there is the likely event that someone can stumble over them I'd bury them. Elsewhere, ie on the hill I would be inclined to leave them. I was on a BDS day last week and one of the talks on carcass preparation was from a professional stalker who on the land he works on has to leave the gralloch where it is as the land has a bird reserve where the raptors benefit from the left gralloch.
