Thread: How to remove a dead deer from your property.

He got up to the bloated deer and proclaimed "The Loins are still Good". He stuck his knife into the critters hide to skin out the loins and a stream/gyser of stinking odor came out with a WHOOSH! I stepped back to escape the stink but he removed the backstraps and put them in a bag. I had my truck and I made him put that rotten crap in the open box. Everytime we slowed down I could smell them.....YUCK! He took them home and (he said) he soaked them in salt water and they tasted great. I heard that he passed away last year, and I wonder if his eating habits had anything to do with it.
    I have no problem eating fresh road kill. I used to have a county sheriff friend drop them off at my home during the wee hours of the night.

    Around Tyler Island we call that a Predator Trap... Set up about 100 yards downwind from it around dusk and wait for the yotes to show up.

    The more bloated and stinky the BETTER.

    You can bet that his eating habits did not go unpunished by nature, he must have come down with infections, or something. A person does not get away with violating sanitary rules of behavior. And that sounds pretty unsanitary.

    After smelling what he considered "Table Fare"...there is no way in hell that I could force myself to partake. PU

    Idk, that's why possums are immune to EVERYTHING. Cuz they eat crap, dead anything been rotting for weeks from a rabies or hantavirus death.

    This one is in my freezer now, I shot it in the head as it was still alive, most of the time I leave it on the fence to gut and butcher it.

    Someone asked me to get a opossum out of a garbage can once. It was in her can, and she did not want to go near it. When I looked into the can, it hissed; and it was an ugly beastie, so I got rough. I took the can and I heaved it up the hillside (I was in Kentucky) and it came rolling back down. When the opossum came out, it did not know up from down, and it wobbled away and lived. I will kill one in a minute, if I need to; I don't like them, and they are filthy garbage scows, with legs.

    Yes, but I hear tell that opossums kill and eat ticks, and are immune to rabies.
    Now, I have found one with his head stuck under a fence, and while trying to get him loose, he scratched my new slip on cowboy boots (nice brown leather ones), so I kicked him in his teeth.
    He didn't seem to mind, they are pretty tough..

    Surprised those bags hold the weight when transporting. I worked in wildlife control for quite awhile and did some nasty shit. Currently work at a deer ranch but its alot easier to just use a tractor bucket and haul them to the back now.

    And you dont wear some kind of boots? haha

    Possums are the one thing that I shoot or run over on sight.......no questions asked...dead
