If the pigs don't strip it first! After a couple days to ripen up they will be on it like a possum on ... well, you know! I've watched the hogs and their little watermelons chase off buzzards and yotes to keep a big ol tasty rotting hog. That is why most folks want you to haul em - otherwise it just fattens up the rest of them and makes em meaner. There used to be a guy that hunted the upper end of Cooper Dam/Jim Chapman Lake in the wildlife area and he would come out of there with 20 to 30 a day. Didn't make a dent! BTW - you shoot one to eat - you can usually smell / taste (if you dare) the blood to tell what they have been eating. If roots etc it will have a clean smell - if they have been dining on dead it will smell like it and usually cook up with it too.
