Dougan, I don't doubt what you say mate. Thing is, regarding kills it's the law. The only thing that may be left behind are the guts of any game animal killed. Vermin has to be disposed of.Dougan wrote:There's actually some argument for leaving carcasses (or the bits you don't want to eat) where they are - Large mammals at the top of the food chain carry a lot of their ecosystem's vital nutrients, which get recycled by insects, detritivors and funguses when they die.Blu wrote: All kills, including non game animals such as vermin must be taken from where they are killed and disposed of correctly and according to the hunting laws.
On a slightly related note - A study was done in Canada in an area where bears feed heavily on salmon - it was found that the trees withing 200 meters of the river were especially healthy and tall - the cells of the trees, even 200 yards from the river, where made up from a lot of matter that was previously in the salmon...it turned out that the younger bears were taking their catch into the woods so that it wasn't taken by a bigger bear, and that the large quantities of left over salmon heads and tails were great fertiliser...
