Just leave them. Later, when you need to get rid of a wife or a kid you can always blame the coyotes. Apparently, it works in Australia.

Yep. Between the coyotes, the razorbacks, and the cara-caras literally the entire corpse is consumed.

Dominant scavenging bird around here, though we also have a smaller population of turkey vultures. Highly intelligent and cooperative. I've seen them gang up on a hawk and steal his catch before.

That is a cool looking predator. We mostly have turkey-vultures here in Delaware but they are endangered as the Ravens tend to kill their young.Ratbreath wrote:Dominant scavenging bird around here, though we also have a smaller population of turkey vultures.
