This past November during the late season blacktail hunt I got to watch a hawk work on a gut pile for at least a couple hours. I'm half surprised the thing could fly off after eating that much. I was hunting a cleared utility right of way so I could see for a few hundred yards. Gut looked to have been from that morning.Birds get most of it.
What do ya mean "first"? I've been doing it to all of them.You required by all regulations written or not to take a bite out your choice of either fresh heart or liver from your first kill, only after that are you allowed to leave the rest of the guts.
