I usually let nature take it's course. We had a Doe get hit by a car and it dropped a few yards away in the wooded lot across the street. I just watched and waited for the scavengers and weather to clean it off for a few months. I'd check on it every once in a while to make sure that it wasn't getting dragged off. After the bones were exposed and dry, I took what I wanted and cleaned them up a little more and threw them in a box for later use. Admittedly... most everything I got is still in that box... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

There's a Buck that was evidently shot but got away from the hunter a little ways back in the woods behind my house right now, I check on it occasionally. Eventually I'll probably see what's left in a few months, and see if I want to add to my box... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

There can be a little bit of an odor left buy doing it this way though...
